Penn Badgley Looks Back on Joe's Dark Past and Teases “You”'s 'Killer Finale' in Chilling Season 5 Teaser: 'Goodbye, You'
The fifth and final season of 'You' is set to premiere on April 24
You is back to wrap up some unfinished business.
The teaser for the fifth and final season of the hit Netflix show was released on Thursday, Jan. 16, showing Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg returning to New York City.
According to the official logline, his attempt to live a “happily ever after” is interrupted when “his perfect life is threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires.”
The trailer begins with Joe’s reciting his classic line in a deep whisper: “Hello, you. Do you remember me? Because I remember you.”

It then cuts to him walking through the city, showing Mooney’s Bookstore from the first season.
“Here we are together again, back to where it began,” Joe says as he remembers Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail) walking through the shop.
“A lot has happened these many years together, identities, cities, loves, complications,” Joe continues while scenes play of his other lovers-turned-victims, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), Marienne Bellamy (Tati Gabrielle) and Kate Galvin (Charlotte Ritchie).

The screen then switches to show Joe’s bloody hands before he can be seen running through the woods.
“But all that led me here, to now, to where I was always meant to be,” he declares as books appear on the screen. “And the one constant, the one thing that has always been there for me, is you.”
The preview suddenly shows a chilling image of the glass box viewers saw him hold people captive in, while Joe has flashbacks of his past.
“You, who have been there the whole time, and will be there with me to the end,” he says as the sneak peek at the “killer finale” concludes. “Goodbye, you.”
The drama series was renewed in March 2023, shortly after part 2 of its fourth season left fans wanting more. The last installment followed Joe — under the pseudonym Professor Jonathan Moore — in a new, academic career abroad.
Vowing to leave his murderous tendencies in America, Joe was faced with temptation when a murderer dubbed the Eat the Rich Killer began taking the lives of his new, elite friends.
While part 2 focused on Joe’s unlikely friendship with another man with a taste for blood, the question remained: How sustainable is a friendship between two killers? And, If Joe continues to fall for the beautiful women around him, will he ever be able to stop killing for good?
