The final season of Netflix’s hit series You will premiere on the platform later this year. The show is a psychological thriller centering on sociopath Joe Goldberg, who forms obsessions with various individuals. Once enthralled with someone, Joe does whatever he can to get close to them, including eliminating anything and anyone who gets in his way. Starring Penn Badgley, You Season 5 will see Joe back in New York City, where the series originally began in 2018.
You Season 5: What’s Joe Up To?
While a lot of production information on Season 5 is still being kept tightly under wraps, here’s what we do know so far. After Season 4 ends with Joe widely presumed dead, his girlfriend then helps him cover up the fact that he is still very much alive. It seems that when Season 5 kicks off, Joe will be dealing with the aftermath of his supposed death and making his reemergence in society. According to a photo posted to X earlier this year, Season 5 began filming on March 25, 2024, after being delayed due to the historic SAG/WGA strikes.
Furthermore, What’s on Netflix recently released all ten of the fifth season’s episode titles, a few of which might hint at Joe Goldberg’s possible fate. The publication also speculated on predictions for the upcoming final season, predictions which include a comparison to Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a reference to the term folie a deux, and several Bonnie and Clyde-style twists that are bound to drive curiosity forward even further. For an in-depth analysis of all the publication’s episode predictions, be sure to explore the theories discussed on the What’s on Netflix website.
Will Joe Goldberg Finally Face Justice?
With this being the final season of You, many questions have circulated as to whether or not Joe Goldberg would finally face justice for his crimes. When speaking to The Hollywood Reporter last year, You showrunner Sera Gamble speculated on Joe’s potential fate. To describe the writers’ approach to this final season, she shared:
The conversation we have among the writers, between Greg Berlanti and I, and a lot with Penn [Badgley], is about the fact that it would be nice to end his arc with some form of justice. Guys like this don’t usually see a lot of justice from the world. But that’s challenging to plot. How does Joe Goldberg go down in a world where he’s been branding people with bricks in broad daylight for years? And he’s cute! So, he gets away with it. The deeper question that we frequently pitch in the writers’ room is, ‘What’s real justice? What would hurt him the most?
To see how the writers have decided to implement justice for Joe in this final season, be sure to catch You Season 5 when it drops on Netflix.
You Season 5: Predictions

Earlier this year, series star Penn Badgley spoke to TheWrap regarding how the ending of Season 4 will set up the arc for this last season. He stated, “It feels to me like it’s building towards one last giant hurrah, but I don’t know.” In his statement, Badgley also teased Joe’s return to New York City in the upcoming season, insinuating there’s a possibility he may run into several people from his past.
Badgley told the publication, “You might be considering who Joe will come up against as he finally returns to New York. Though I can’t say who it is just yet, we all know there are many loose ends from Joe’s past.” Since many of Badgley’s comments were vague and are open to interpretation, many are hopeful that Season 5 will see the return of several fan-favorite characters from Joe’s past, particularly Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) and Ellie Alves (Jenna Ortega).
While Season 5’s release date is still unknown, the upcoming season will see a plethora of exciting guest stars. Guest stars for the upcoming fifth season will include Nava Mau (Baby Reindeer), Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect), Madeline Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale), Natasha Behnam (The Girls on the Bus), and Griffin Matthews (Dear White People). Additionally, Charlotte Ritchie will be returning as Joe’s girlfriend, Kate.
Conclusion
To see how Netflix wraps up its exciting final season of You, check out Season 5 when it drops on streaming, with the release date to be announced at a later date. It is bound to be an enthralling conclusion to a thrilling story. Here’s hoping that after five seasons, Joe Goldberg finally gets what he deserves.
