The long-awaited finale of You, the gripping Netflix psychological series starring Penn Badgley, has officially made its debut. Season five, which also marks the conclusion of the acclaimed show, was released on the streaming platform today, bringing closure to the dark and twisted saga of Joe Goldberg. On April 24, Netflix built anticipation by unveiling a captivating new promotional poster for the series on its Instagram handle, confirming the much-anticipated release date. This final installment spans ten episodes, diving deeper into the complex psyche of its troubled lead.
In this last chapter, Joe Goldberg—portrayed once again by Penn Badgley—returns to the city that began his harrowing journey: New York. For longtime viewers, this return signals more than just a change in scenery. It’s a symbolic full circle for the protagonist, as New York was the backdrop for his initial descent into obsession, manipulation, and murder. The final season promises to unravel more secrets and challenge Joe in ways he’s never faced before.
Apart from drawing the curtain on Penn’s unforgettable portrayal of the enigmatic antihero, the latest season also introduces audiences to several new faces. Among the fresh additions to the ensemble are Madeline Brewer, Anna Camp, Nava Mau, and Charlotte Ritchie. The promotional artwork features Joe surrounded by a mix of women from his past and present, all of whom wear expressions hinting at betrayal and vengeance. Joe, on the other hand, maintains a calm, indifferent demeanor—typical of his chilling persona.
The side caption on the poster reads, “One last time, Hello You. Stream the final season of You—now available only on Netflix.” Adding to the intrigue is a mysterious tagline splashed across the design: “What goes around, comes around.” The cryptic phrase teases themes of karmic justice and unresolved reckoning, hinting that Joe’s past may finally catch up with him.
Excitement flooded social media as die-hard fans flocked to the comments section. “This is actually happening!” exclaimed one ecstatic follower. Another chimed in with, “Yesssss! Finally, the wait is over!” while a third said, “OMG, I’m so ready to binge this entire season!” Clearly, the final season’s arrival has struck a chord with its loyal audience.
However, not all reactions were celebratory. Some expressed disappointment over the absence of Victoria Pedretti, who played the fan-favorite character Love Quinn in seasons two through four. Her departure left a noticeable void, especially for viewers who were emotionally invested in her storyline. " I think I miss my wife.." read one post.
Season five opens with Joe seemingly enjoying a calm domestic life with his wife, Kate Lockwood (played by Charlotte Ritchie). However, as the narrative unfolds, Joe confesses to committing violent acts against his former lovers. What shocks viewers is Kate’s composed reaction to his admissions—raising the question of whether she might be even more ruthless than Joe himself.
