WARNING: This article contains spoilers from You.
The release date for You season five has been unveiled and it promises a “killer finale” to the series’ thrilling narrative.
It’s been nearly two years since Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) reinvented himself as Professor Jonathan Moore and escaped to London to avoid the fallout of his actions in California.
Initially on the prowl for the elusive “Eat The Rich” killer, whom he suspected was politician Rhys Montrose (Ed Speleers), Joe was ultimately revealed to be the real culprit, having concocted an imaginary Rhys to justify his own bloodshed.
By the final scene of the fourth segment, Joe had accepted his nature as a serial killer, poised to make a comeback to New York and bring his twisted tale to a resolution.
Below is all that’s known about catching the last season of You on .

Her acting credits also include ‘Fresh Meat’, ‘Dead Pixels’, ‘Call the Midwife’, ‘Feel Good’, and ‘Siblings’.

Griffin Matthews from ‘The Flight Attendant’ is slated to portray Teddy Lockwood, Joe’s “snarky yet loyal” brother-in-law, while ‘Pitch Perfect’ actress Anna Camp will take on dual roles as Joe’s sister-in-law twins Raegan and Maddie Lockwood.
Raegan serves as the ruthless CFO of Lockwood Corp, whereas Maddie is a thrice-divorced socialite known for her manipulative prowess.

You season 5 plot
Joe and Kate are now married, basking in their opulent New York life. However, Joe’s sinister urges begin to resurface not long after.
His encounter with Bronte, the new playwright at his bookshop, sparks a connection that leads him to question his luxurious existence.
Joe must also navigate the challenges posed by Kate’s problematic siblings, but the question remains: can he truly leave his dark history behind?
Executive producer Michael Foley, discussing the final season with Tudum, shared his enthusiasm about the character development that comes full circle: “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 we saw in season one.
“At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new.”
