Netflix Unveils ‘You’ Season 5 Poster: “A Killer Goodbye”

It looks like Joe Goldberg’s past is finally coming back around to bite him.

On Thursday, Netflix unveiled the posters (below) for the highly-anticipated fifth and final season of You, starring Penn Badgley. The streamer also announced that the final season will be arriving in 2025, though an exact date has yet to be revealed.

You follows Joe Goldberg, a dangerously charming, intensely obsessive young man who goes to extreme — and sometimes fatal — measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by. The fifth season will see Joe return to where it all began, New York City, to enjoy his happily ever after. However, his perfect life is threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires.

The cast also includes Charlotte Richie, Madeline Brewer, Anna Camp and Griffin Matthews. Michael Foley and Justin Lo served as co-showrunners for season five, with Greg Berlanti, Sera Gamble, Badgley, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Leslie Morgenstein, Gina Girolamo, Marcos Siega and Neil Reynolds executive producing.

Gamble, who served as the series’ showrunner through its first four seasons, teased what’s next for Joe following the season four finale last year.

“He’s gotten to come home again, and that is significant,” she told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. “Something that we felt like we didn’t need to keep going forever with was the idea that every single time, pretty much, that he killed somebody, he not only has justified it in his head, he’s justified that it was probably an accident a lot of the time. ‘Oops, I hit her head too hard.’ ‘Oops, he fell down the stairs.’ ‘Oops, I pushed him off the balcony because I was in a rage for a moment.'”

Gamble continued, “Without sacrificing the beating heart of Joe, which is his romantic sensibility and his belief in love, we are very interested in what happens if he doesn’t constantly fuck up because he’s lying to himself about what he’s about to do. Like, how much better might he get at what he does, if he accepts the way that we heard Rhys accept it?”
