Netflix’s psychological thriller You is coming to a close, and the final chapter promises a dark and twisted conclusion for Joe Goldberg. What time does You Season 5 drop on Netflix? Read on for everything to know about watching the final episodes.
Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley reprises his role as the charming yet obsessive serial killer, Joe, who is returning to where his story began: New York City. Season 5 picks up three years after Joe and his wife, Kate Galvin (played by Charlotte Ritchie), left London behind for the Big Apple. Now, Kate is the CEO of the Lockwood Corporation, while Joe is enjoying life as part of one of the world’s wealthiest families.
But for Joe, the past always has a way of catching up to him. In Season 5, his seemingly perfect life is “threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires,” according to Netflix’s Tudum. Based on how Season 4 ended, at least two familiar faces could return: Marienne, who survived by outwitting Joe with help from Nadia Farran, and Nadia herself, who is in prison after Joe framed her for Edward’s murder.
ForbesThe Best New TV Shows Streaming In April 2025 On Netflix, Max, And MoreBy Monica MercuriNetflix confirmed that Joe’s son, Henry Goldberg (Frankie DeMai), from his first wife, Love Quinn, will return in Season 5, and he’s now being raised as Kate’s son. Badgley told Tudum there will be challenges ahead for Henry, noting that “[Joe]
’s avoiding the fact that Henry’s early years have been so all over the place that he needs therapy, good parents, or, at least, a positive, loving environment.”
While the past four seasons saw Joe hiding behind various aliases, he’s now entirely in the spotlight. Co-showrunner Justin W. Lo told Tudum that one of the most fun aspects of this season is Joe’s “Prince Charming aspect” and that he’s “actually famous.”
“All the other seasons, he’s been really under the radar,” Lo continued. “That’s how he is able to move from season to season and place to place, because of his anonymity. Now that he is well known in New York, social media is on him. That’s something fun for us to explore.”
