Brace yourself for the final chapter of Joe Goldberg’s bloody tale!
Based on the novels by Caroline Kepnes, You centres on Joe, a book-loving, hopeless romantic with a penchant for stalking and killing the women he (claims to) love, as well as anyone else who gets in his way.
While Joe’s search for The One began in New York, it took him first to Los Angeles in Season 2, then to the suburbs of San Francisco in Season 3, and most recently London in the just-launched fourth season.
At the season’s conclusion, Joe returned to New York City with his wealthy partner Kate as he finally admitted that his life was fundamentally immoral.
“Every season, they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant,” said Penn Badgley.
“And this season, I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to become grounded in the way that it needs to have this spectacular finish.”
Badgley also teased that a familiar face from Joe’s past will come back to haunt him in Season 5, creating problems for his Big Apple homecoming.
“I think it sets us up to have a great finale season. Can his inner monologue evolve some now? What does it mean for him to accept himself?” (And how will his planned new bookstore fare in the city’s unforgiving retail market?)
Griffin Matthews (he/him, The Flight Attendant) has been cast as the brother of Joe’s new wife, Kate, while Anna Camp (she/her, Hysteria!) will be playing two roles — Kate’s identical twin sisters. They join Madeline Brewer (she/her, The Handmaid’s Tale) as a young woman who makes Joe reconsider his new life.
The fifth and final season of the acclaimed thriller, You, will premiere in 2025 on Netflix.
