Netflix’s psychological thriller You is back for one last, chilling chapter. You Season 5: The Final Obsession marks the end of Joe Goldberg’s haunting journey. Fans are bracing themselves for an unforgettable finale.
Penn Badgley returns as Joe. He is charming yet dangerously obsessive protagonist who has kept viewers on the edge of their seats for years. After the shocking events of Season 4, which saw Joe embracing his dark side more openly than ever. Season 5 promises to dive even deeper into the twisted psyche of a man who believes love justifies anything — even murder.
The new season picks up in New York City, a fitting backdrop for the story’s full-circle moment. Joe is no longer hiding behind new names or false identities. Instead, he is confronting the monster he has become. Old ghosts resurface, familiar faces return, and Joe’s past finally catches up with him in ways he never expected.
This final installment of You is expected to explore themes of guilt, redemption, and the true nature of obsession. Showrunner Sera Gamble, who shaped the first four seasons, has stepped away, but Greg Berlanti and the team promise a finale that stays true to the show’s darkly addictive tone. Penn Badgley has hinted that Joe’s story will not necessarily end happily, teasing a reckoning that fans have long anticipated.
New and returning characters will play crucial roles in Joe’s downfall or salvation. The question remains: will Joe finally pay for his crimes, or will he find a way to justify his sins once again?
With promises of shocking twists, emotional confrontations, and a final glimpse into Joe’s fractured mind, You Season 5 is not just the end of a series — it’s the end of an era. As the final obsession begins, one thing is clear: Joe Goldberg’s story will end the only way it ever could — dramatically, dangerously, and unforgivably.
You Season 5 will premiere on Netflix in 2025. Brace yourself — the ultimate obsession is about to reach its deadly conclusion.
