Everything We Know About You Season 5 So Far
There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that You is Netflix’s most successful show ever! Whether you liked it or not chances are you’ve seen or at least heard about Joe Goldberg’s murderous antics.
After the release of season 4 part 2 last week we can’t help but wonder if there’s a season 5 of You coming, after all there was a shocking twist for Joe at the end of this season – we need more Joe!
So is there a season 5 on the way?
While Netflix haven’t released anything official about renewing the series they usually let the show’s fans know if a hit show is onto its final season, meaning season 4 part 2 is unlikely to be the end for Joe – he needs his comeuppance for a murderous 4 seasons after all.
So if previous release timelines are to be taken accurately we will most likely get to see You season 5 land on Netflix at the end of 2024, start of 2025.
Earlier this year, You’s show runner, Sera Gamble mentioned in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: “It was never anyone’s intention to run this one into the ground. When we’re done, we’ll be done,” also revealing that theirs a clue to the location of season 5 in the final episode of the most recent instalment: “You’ll know what the next season would be when you see the end of this season. We tell you what the idea is”.
Now while we’re all excited for season 5 unfortunately it is likely to be the final season of the hit show according to Mr. Goldberg himself. Penn stated on the Happy Sad Confused Podcast that: “I think if there’s another season, I think it’s only going to be one. I think — this is my understanding, but I don’t know, I really don’t know. But I know that everybody concerned, from the top on down, nobody wants this show to become tired. That’s when Joe is the most disgusting. That’s when the show stops having the intelligence that it has”.

More recently in an interview with Indiewire, the 32-year-old reiterated his belief that season 5 was on the way saying: “It feels to me like we need to do another season. It feels to me like Joe needs to get what’s coming to him, and now he has further to fall because he has all this power and wealth”.
Additionally he said: “I know the creators of the show always had this next season in mind as its last, should there be another one. And then it will probably be a spectacular resolution because it feels to me like something is in the works by the very end of this season”.
