Joe Goldberg is back in the teaser for You Season 5, which dropped on January 16, and it promises a thrilling and final chapter for the psychopathic murderer. In the one-minute and fourteen-second clip, Joe (Penn Badgley) recites his iconic line, “Hello, you,” setting the tone for the season. The teaser highlights a montage of Joe’s past relationships—Beck (Elizabeth Lail), Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), and his most recent victim, Marienne (Tati Gabrielle)—as he reflects on his journey.
The teaser reveals Joe’s sense of peace after dealing with the “complications” of his love life, claiming that he’s finally reached the place he was meant to be. “The one constant, the one thing that’s always been there for me, is you,” he says, followed by a chilling shot of the glass prison where he locks up those who uncover his true nature.
Season 5 will be the final season of You, and it’s expected to be packed with twists and poetic justice. As the official synopsis explains, this season focuses on Joe’s return to New York City, where he attempts to build a happy life with his new partner, Kate Galvin. However, his dark past and dangerous desires threaten to destroy his plans.
Badgley not only stars in the show but also serves as an executive producer. Michael Foley and Justin Lo are set to be the showrunners for the final season. The cast also features Charlotte Richie, Madeline Brewer, Anna Camp, and Griffin Matthews, rounding out what promises to be a suspenseful and explosive end to Joe’s story.
