Penn Badgley Returns as Joe Goldberg in Final Season of ‘You’ on Netflix: Will He Finally Face Consequences?

by

Once again, you find yourself in the fifth and final installment this April, as the enigmatic Joe Goldberg, a serial killer with an unusual charm, makes his return to our screens in the first teaser for Season 5 of ‘You’. This captivating series, which originally began in 2018 and is adapted from Caroline Kepnes’ 2014 novel, has enthralled viewers globally as Joe’s unhealthy infatuations, dangerous fixations, and undeniable love for murder continue to escalate.

Since then, the series has trailed Joe’s journey from New York to Los Angeles, then to the Californian suburbs, and eventually to London. Throughout this journey, Joe has consistently found ways to fill his time with harmful activities such as stalking and leading a questionable lifestyle. The latest and most startling fourth season finds Joe residing in London under the alias “Jonathan Moore,” posing as an English university professor. He becomes intrigued by Kate Galvin, the girlfriend of his irritating colleague Malcolm Harding, who lives in a flat adjacent to his.

In the fourth series, which was actually divided into two segments, concluding in March 2023, Joe managed to escape any repercussions from his deceitful and violent actions once more. Now, he finds himself in a position of greater power than ever due to his connection with Kate Galvin (played by Charlotte Ritchie), who has inherited her father’s business and wealth.

Will ‘You’ Season 5 Finally See Joe Get His Comeuppance?

As a dedicated cinephile, I eagerly await the delightfully twisted conclusion that Season 5 of “You” promises, with its showrunner, Sera Gamble, stepping down from her role as showrunner to serve as an executive producer instead. The tantalizing hints she’s dropped about Joe Goldberg’s fate have me on the edge of my seat!

Moving away from the daily responsibilities of showrunning to focus on fresh endeavors, I am deeply appreciative of my co-creator Greg Berlanti, Caroline Kepnes, my colleagues at Berlanti Productions and Alloy Entertainment, our reliable partners at Warner Bros. and Netflix. Working alongside our writers, producers, directors, cast, and crew has been a source of immense pride and unparalleled enjoyment. I consider myself fortunate to have collaborated with an artist as gifted and considerate as Penn Badgley. I am proud of the achievements we’ve made together and feel honored to hand over the reins. I eagerly look forward to watching and backing the You team as they guide Joe Goldberg’s story towards its intriguing finale.

Gamble also revealed that the ghosts of Joe’s past will come back to haunt him this time around.

We’ve meticulously recorded every person with information about Joe who is still alive. Those who have passed away might still manifest in dreams or delusions. There are several intelligent individuals among the living, some of whom are currently incarcerated and others under protective measures. However, there’s no evidence to suggest that he is safe from harm.
