You Season 5: Things seem bleaker than ever in new teaser for final chapter of Netflix's thriller series 

Netflix recently dropped a new teaser for the upcoming season of You. As can be surmised from the teaser, season five is expected to bring things full circle for Joe Goldberg. The fifth season of You arrives on April 24, 2025, and will be exclusively available on Netflix.

You is a popular show on Netflix based on the eponymous books by author Caroline Kepnes. The narrative follows the character of Joe Goldberg, played by actor Penn Badgley, stalking women across various locations and murdering those who get in the way. When he's not stalking, Goldberg is a hopeless romantic who is fond of reading.

The recently released teaser is remarkable for its dark and bleak tone. It features Goldberg's iconic monologue, which he delivers while cleaning the glass cage which usually holds his victims before he cleans them. He ends the teaser by uttering loudly: "Goodbye, You."

Netflix has also released a new photo from the upcoming fifth season in which Goldberg is seen well-dressed and standing at a New York City street corner while speaking on his phone. It is now known that the fifth season will take audiences back to New York, where Goldberg's stalking first started.

What is You all about?

Based on Caroline Kepnes' novels, the Netflix show follows Joe Goldberg, a book-loving, hopeless romantic with a predilection for stalking and killing the women he supposedly claims to love, as well as everyone else who stands in his path.

While Joe's search for his object of desire began in New York, it led him to Los Angeles in the Netflix show's second season, to the claustrophobic suburbs of San Francisco in Season 3, and, most recently, to London in the recently released fourth season.

Showrunner opens up about You Season 5

As per a Netflix by Tudum report, executive producer and co-showrunner Michael Foley recently stated:

"We always said that we would stop after five and (that), in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York. We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We’re excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than (who) we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new.”

Similarly, Badgley himself had remarked during the filming of the fifth season back in July:

"Every season they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant, and this season, I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to just become grounded in the way that it needs to also have this kind of spectacular finish.”

You is exclusively available on Netflix.
