Fans will have to wait until 2024 to see how Joe Goldberg’s story ends, but the executive producers have promised the show an unforgettable conclusion.
The hit Netflix series “You” has been renewed for a fifth and final season, according to executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. The show, which follows the story of Joe Goldberg, an anti-hero with a deadly obsession with his love interests, will end with its fifth season. The show’s creative team always intended to wrap up the story in five seasons, the executive producers said.
Based on the novels by Caroline Kepnes, “You” began with Joe’s search for true love in New York City, which took him to Los Angeles in season 2, to the stuffy suburbs of San Francisco in season 3 , and finally in London in the just-launched fourth season. The genre drama is known for its twists, with each season revealing more about Joe’s dark side and his willingness to do whatever it takes to protect those he loves.
The fourth season ended with Joe returning to New York with his wealthy partner Kate and a new breath of life. He’s finally come to terms with the fact that he’s not a good man, which sets up an intriguing final season. Penn Badgley, who plays Joe, said he was excited to explore Joe’s evolution over the final season.
Executive producer Sera Gamble, who created “You” with Berlanti, will step down as showrunner for Season 5 to focus on developing other projects. Longtime writers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo will take over.
The show’s viewership grew with each season, with the fourth season spending five weeks on the Top 10 Global English TV Shows list and reaching the top 10 in 90 countries. Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series at Netflix, said: “We are proud to see how ‘You’ has captivated audiences around the world, becoming an instant sensation on Netflix with a resounding cultural impact that has grown by season to season.”
Fans will have to wait until 2024 to see how Joe Goldberg’s story ends, but the executive producers have promised the show an unforgettable conclusion.
