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

by

As a seasoned gamer of life, I can’t help but feel a strange sense of familiarity when it comes to Joe Goldberg’s storyline. Just like in my own gaming adventures, every level seems to bring new challenges and obstacles that test my skills and patience. The anticipation for the fifth and final season of “You” is reminiscent of waiting for the release of a highly-anticipated video game expansion pack.

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

On Thursday, Netflix unveiled the posters for the eagerly awaited fifth and last season of “You,” which stars Penn Badgley. Additionally, they shared that this final season is set to premiere in 2025; however, the specific release date remains undisclosed as of now.

As a gamer, I’d dive back into the world of Joe Goldberg, a charismatic yet dangerously obsessive character who will go to any length – sometimes lethal ones – to be part of those he’s captivated by. In the fifth season, Joe finds himself back in his old stomping ground, New York City, seeking his ‘happily ever after’. Yet, his ideal life is jeopardized by the specters of his past and the shadows cast by his own twisted yearnings.

Apart from Ellis Carver, the ensemble features Charlotte Richie, Madeline Brewer, Anna Camp, and Griffin Matthews. Michael Foley and Justin Lo shared the role of co-showrunners during season five, while Greg Berlanti, Sera Gamble, Badgley, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Leslie Morgenstein, Gina Girolamo, Marcos Siega, and Neil Reynolds were executive producers.

Previously serving as the showrunner for the initial four seasons, Gamble hinted at the future of the character Joe after the conclusion of the fourth season last year.

She expressed to The Hollywood Reporter, “He’s fortunate enough to return home once more, and that matters.” She explained, “A notion we felt didn’t require endless continuation was his recurring justification for every act of violence. He often convinced himself that the harm he inflicted was unintentional – ‘I hit her head too hard by accident,’ ‘He fell down the stairs accidentally,’ or ‘I pushed him off the balcony in a moment of anger.’

Gamble pondered, “While preserving Joe’s core – his romantic nature and faith in love – we are intrigued by the possible outcomes if he doesn’t consistently deceive himself about his actions. In essence, how significantly might he improve at what he does, if he openly acknowledges his decisions as Rhys did?
