You Season 5: Netflix’s popular psychological thriller will be back for its fifth and final season. Here’s everything you need to know!
- The fourth season of You was released on Netflix in two parts of five episodes.
- The final season has been confirmed to return on Netflix sometime in 2024.
After his voyage across the pond, Joe Goldberg is again ready to go hunting. It comes as no surprise that You, the wildly popular Netflix series starring Pen Badgley, has been extended for a fifth and final season, given the show’s massive success on the streaming service.
Fans of this psychological thriller are ecstatic to learn that their favourite show is returning for a fifth season. But they are a little bummed since this season will be the series’ final. Based on Caroline Kepnes’ novels, You follows Joe, a bookworm and hopeless romantic who has a penchant for stalking and killing the women he loves, as well as everyone who stands in his way.
The excitement for Season 5 has skyrocketed as Joe’s fate will be finally sealed and fans wondering what the last season will bring. If you are one of them, this is the place to be since all your questions will be answered below.
When will You Season 5 arrive on Netflix?
The good news has arrived early. You has been renewed for a fifth and final season. The show’s creative team has “always conceived it as a five-season journey,” executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter said in a statement.
“You became an instant sensation on Netflix with a resounding cultural impact that has grown season over season,” Netflix’s Peter Friedlander, the vice president of scripted series for the U.S. and Canada said in a statement. “We’re excited — and a bit terrified — to see how it all ends for Joe Goldberg, but one thing is for sure: ‘You’ are in for an unforgettable ending.”
So, it is not surprising that a fifth season has been given the go-ahead to finally wrap up the plot built over the previous four seasons. This year’s break is customary for a show of this calibre to finish its painstaking production on schedule. Therefore the final season has been confirmed to return on Netflix sometime in 2024.
What will be the plot of You Season 5?
In the fourth season of the show, viewers saw a different side of Joe (Penn Badgley) as he attempted to keep his murderous tendencies under check while living abroad under the alias Professor Jonathan Moore. However, he quickly discovered that he couldn’t entirely escape his dark past.
According to Penn Badgley, Season 5 already hinted at Joe’s increasing influence thanks to the Lockwood family resources he now has at his disposal. Joe could easily ensure he never faces punishment for his crimes for the rest of his life with the wealth of resources at his disposal and the acceptance of the darker half of himself that enjoys chaos and killing.
Yet now that people like Nadia, Marienne, and Dr. Nicky are aware of Joe’s true nature, it might only be a matter of time before his past sins come back to haunt him. Therefore, it makes sense for season 5 to finally bring Joe down since season 4 ended with him in the finest position he’s ever been in. The easiest way for this to happen might be for his history to catch up with him.
The season 4 finale sees Joe return to New York City, where the show began. As Joe returns to New York, this brings him to a full circle where he might have to come face-to-face with his past actions and maybe even past victims.
Who is in the cast of You Season 5?
After his voyage across the pond, Pen Badgley is back with his character, Joe Goldberg. As we’ve seen in the past, he usually finds himself in a new crowd. Sometimes even a new city every season, so new casting announcements wouldn’t surprise us. For the time being, though, fans will have to wait to see who returns for the final season. It is likely that Charlotte Ritchie, who plays Joe’s new love interest Kate, will reprise her role.
How many episodes will be there in the final season?
All four seasons released has 10 episodes each. We expect the next season to have 10 episodes to release in two chunks, as they have done with the most recent season.
Is there any trailer?
Currently, there is no trailer for You Season 5.
Where to watch You?
All four seasons of this amazing psychological thriller series are available to stream exclusively on Netflix.
