Fans of the hit psychological thriller You can finally rejoice as Netflix has officially confirmed the show’s fifth and final season. The series, which follows the obsessive and often murderous escapades of Joe Goldberg, played by Penn Badgley, will conclude with a season that promises to be darker, more intense, and full of surprises.
The announcement comes after the cliffhanger ending of Season 4, which saw Joe returning to New York City, seemingly embracing his true nature after years of battling his dark impulses. With his wealth and power now amplified, thanks to Kate (Charlotte Ritchie), the final season is set to explore the ultimate consequences of Joe’s actions.
Netflix teased that the upcoming season will bring the story full circle, with echoes of Joe’s past coming back to haunt him. Showrunner Sera Gamble hinted in an interview, “We’re going to see Joe face the reckoning he’s been avoiding for so long. The stakes have never been higher.”
Fans can also expect the return of familiar faces. Victoria Pedretti, who played Joe’s equally complex wife, Love Quinn, is rumored to make a reappearance—though likely in flashbacks or as a haunting figure in Joe’s mind. Other potential returning characters include Marienne (Tati Gabrielle) and Ellie (Jenna Ortega), whose unresolved arcs could add layers to the finale.
Additionally, the final season will explore themes of redemption, morality, and whether Joe can ever truly escape the cycle of violence he perpetuates. “This isn’t just about Joe anymore,” said Gamble. “It’s about the impact of his actions on everyone around him.”
As You prepares for its swan song, fans can expect an edge-of-your-seat conclusion that will finally determine Joe Goldberg’s fate. Season 5 is set to premiere in late 2024.
