Joe Goldberg’s Final Chapter Begins ‘You’ Season 5 Hits Netflix This Week

Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) has found his way back to New York, but he’s not the same obsessive underdog lurking in bookshops anymore. Now dressed in designer suits and draped in wealth, he’s living the life of a man who’s fooled the world and maybe even himself. As the curtain rises on You Season 5, the city that once symbolized his descent into darkness is now the stage for his final performance.

Elevated by his marriage to powerful CEO Kate Lockwood (Charlotte Ritchie), Joe has stepped into a role he never auditioned for: a doting spouse and respectable public figure. Behind the polished façade lies a man still haunted by his own nature, caught between appearances and impulses. He walks among the elite now, but inside, Joe’s never felt more misplaced.

The Lockwood empire introduces a new layer of danger, with cold-blooded ambition running in the family. Kate’s twin relatives, Reagan and Maddie (Anna Camp), identical in both looks and cunning—are players in a game Joe barely understands. Surrounded by boardrooms instead of bookshelves, he’s trying to fake his way through a world where everyone wears a mask.

Despite the glittering distractions of uptown life, the pull of the past proves irresistible. Joe drifts back to where it all began, downtown. There, he meets Bronte (Madeline Brewer), a vibrant soul untouched by his past, or so she thinks.

Underneath the sharp suits and billionaire clout, Joe is unraveling. His grip on morality has always been fragile, but now it’s bending under the weight of privilege and secrets. He’s embraced the darkness in theory, but in practice? It’s a constant negotiation—with himself, with Kate, and with the monster he thought he could control.

Season five of You will be the last in the series and is set to drop on Netflix on Thursday, 24 April. Fans won’t have to wait week-to-week either—all 10 episodes will land at once, ready to stream from 8am BST. Joe’s final chapter is about to unfold.
