“We always said that we would stop after five and [that], in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York,” executive producer Michael Foley, who now serves as showrunner alongside Justin W. Lo, told Tudum. “We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We’re excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than [who] we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new.”
The last time we saw Joe (Penn Badgley), he was returning to New York with his wealthy partner, Kate (Charlotte Ritchie), fresh from the revelation that he lives a fundamentally immoral life. But now he knows he’s not a good person, where does he go from here?
Here’s a round-up of everything else we know about You season five.
When is You season five coming out?
The final season of You will be available to stream from April 24. As ever, it consists of 10 episodes.
It returns just under two years after the show’s fourth season, which came two years after the third.
Is there a trailer for You season five?
Netflix released a brand new trailer for You season 5 in early March 2025.
In it, we hear Joe reminisce about his story so far… and it’s pretty dark. To make matters worse, it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any brighter in the show’s final outing.
Watch it above.
The second teaser trailer for You’s final season arrived in late February. In it, we saw Joe getting dressed while reflecting on his sinister story so far.
Before that arrived, we got another short teaser which confirmed the show’s return date.
Watch it below:
Who’s in the cast for season five?
Alongside Badgley and Ritchie, there are several new cast members for You’s final instalment.
Madeline Brewer (Orange Is The New Black, The Handmaid’s Tale) joins the cast as Bronte, who works at Joe’s new bookstore and provokes him to question everything he is becoming.
Griffin Matthew, meanwhile, plays Teddy Lockwood, Joe’s brother-in-law. Anna Camp joins the cast playing two different roles in the form of Joe’s twin sisters-in-law Raegan and Maddie Lockwood.
Badgeley also teased the return of a face from Joe’s past coming back to haunt him.
