Can You Season 5 possibly get delayed? Latest updates explored

The Netflix show You, which is a psychological thriller about the strange actions of Joe Goldberg, is getting close to its fifth and final season. People have been excited to hear more about it since filming finished in August 2024. But a recent change has made some fans worried.

The "Coming Soon" label was taken off the show's page on Netflix's website, which has led to rumors that the release might be postponed. However, Netflix hasn't said anything official to confirm this concern. Season 5 is still expected to come out in 2025, which will end Joe's rather complicated story.

The filming finished on time, and based on past events, a February release might happen if Netflix follows the same steps they did for Season 4. The good news is that there probably won't be any delays, especially since Penn Badgley called it a "great finale season" during Netflix's Tudum event.

Here's all the information you need about You Season 5, when it will be released, and how Joe's story will end.

Will You Season 5 be delayed?

People began wondering about a delay when Netflix took off the "Coming Soon" label for Season 5 from its main page. Some thought this might mean the season was being pushed back. However, others think this could show that the show is close to announcing its release date.

As mentioned by The Direct, Netflix hasn't said exactly when it will come out, but they did say it will be in 2025. Filming for Season 5 finished in August 2024, five months after it began in New York. The show has always followed a steady schedule.

For example, You Season 4 finished filming in August 2022 and was released just six months later, in February 2023. If the same pattern continues, February 2025 could be a possible release date. Penn Badgley's comments at Netflix Tudum about Joe exploring his acceptance of his immoral actions suggest a big ending.

This makes it unlikely that Netflix would change its plans for marketing. Right now, fans can probably look forward to some good news soon unless something unexpected happens.

What to expect from the final chapter?

You Season 5 will be a big change for Joe Goldberg, finishing his story by bringing him back to New York. As mentioned in a Netflix Tudum report from August 16, 2024, there are many new important characters: Griffin Matthews will act as Teddy Lockwood, Joe's brother-in-law; Anna Camp will take on two roles as Reagan and Maddie Lockwood, Kate's twin sisters.

This season might show Joe facing his biggest internal struggles yet. Madeline Brewer plays Bronte, a passionate playwright who reminds Joe of his life before his current, morally questionable one.

This makes Joe wonder if he really wants to be the person he is now. A mysterious person from Joe's past will come back, possibly Ellie, played by Jenna Ortega, or Dr. Nicky, played by John Stamos.

As Joe deals with his changing ideas of right and wrong and his new family connections, there will also be lots of drama with his wife Kate (played by Charlotte Ritchie) and her tricky Lockwood family. With themes like forgiveness, self-discovery, and fair consequences, Season 5 is set to deliver a thrilling ending.

Why does the wait for You Season 5 feel long?

It's been almost two years since Season 4 of You came out in early 2023, and fans are getting impatient. The Direct says the show's decision to move away from yearly releases and take more time for its final season is why we're waiting so long. The team probably needed extra time to write a good ending for Joe's story, not to forget the writers' strike which got resolved only in September 2023.

Also, Netflix has been spreading out big releases over different dates, which seems like a plan to get more people watching. The fact that Netflix hasn't said anything about delays makes it seem like everything is going well with finishing the show and planning its promotion.

Due to all the excitement about the new season of You, Netflix's marketing team might be waiting to announce a release date until they release a trailer, which fans are really looking forward to.

Season 5 of You is planned to come out on Netflix in 2025.
