If you're a fan of the Netflix series 'You', you may have already heard the bad news: the show's fifth season will be it's last. The announcement came as a shock to many fans who were hoping to see more of Joe Goldberg's (played by Penn Badgley) twisted and dark storylines. In this article, we'll explore what we know so far about the show's final season.
Is there going to be a You season 5?
Yes, 'You' Season 5 is happening, and it will be the show's last, as confirmed by Netflix. The cast was also aware of this news, as they were already discussing Season 5 in an interview video. According to Penn Badgley, who plays the lead role of Joe, "It feels to me like we need to do another season. It feels to me like Joe needs to get what’s coming to him, and now he has further to fall because he has all this power and wealth."
What’s going to happen in You season 5?
In the finale episode of season 4, Joe is back in New York, attempting to move on from his London murders. However, with the unexpected reappearance of "Rhys" in the final scene and Joe finally embracing his killer side, it seems like he won't be able to move on so easily. Unfortunately for him, he is now famous thanks to Kate's PR campaign and probably can't get away with his spontaneous murders anymore. Additionally, Joe has bought a bookstore of his own, which may or may not have a creepy murder basement with a cage in it.
As Penn mentioned, he wants Joe to finally get what’s coming to him in Season 5. In an interview with the New York Post, Sera Gamble, the show’s creator, hinted at the fact that Joe's newfound notoriety will make it difficult for him to keep doing what he's been doing. So, it seems like Season 5 will finally be the end of Joe casually killing almost every acquaintance he has and miraculously getting away with it.
Who’s in the cast for 'You' season 5?
Every season of You tends to bring a fresh new cast as Joe heads to a new location, trying to run away from his messy (and murderous) past. But with Joe back in New York, we may see some of the same characters from season 1, like his bookstore buddy Ethan (played by Zach Cherry) or his old neighbor Paco (played by Luca Padovan). Kate, who was with Joe at the end of season 4, is also expected to return, played by actor Charlotte Ritchie.
Jenna Ortega, who played Ellie Alves in season 2, was set to return for season 4, but her filming schedule wouldn't allow for it. Fans are still hoping to see her character make a comeback in the final season.
What’s the release date for 'You' season 5?
Netflix has confirmed that You season 5 will be released in 2024. Unfortunately, there's no more specific information available at this time. Fans will have to wait a bit longer to find out when exactly they can expect to see Joe Goldberg back on their screens.
Conclusion
The news that You season 5 will be the show's last has left many fans disappointed, but it's not all bad news. The show's creators have promised that the final season will be a satisfying conclusion to Joe Goldberg's story, and we can expect some intense and thrilling moments as he faces the consequences of his actions.
