You season 5

After a series of plot twists and a lone Joe (Penn Badgley) haphazardly trying to clean up his mess, Season 4 wrapped up Joe's chapter in London with a move ...

She knows that he murdered some people in L.A., and she knows Joe kidnapped her sister, who was murdered by Love ( [remember that plot twist?](https://mashable.com/article/you-netflix-season-2-review)).

We learn in [ Season 3 ](https://mashable.com/article/you-season-3-netflix-review)that Joe sends Ellie money whenever he hears from her, but with his whole European move, clearly that transaction's come to an end.

While we all remember the shock of watching Joe do his thing for the first time, and Beck's (Elizabeth Lail) unfortunate demise, we may not remember all the other characters that tagged along on Joe's big day out in the Big Apple. If word gets out that Joe's back, the two might put their detective hats on and question the man we know killed two of their friends. And while he was sitting on the sidelines during Joe's first bout of chaos, he may have a role to play in Season 5.

After a series of plot twists and a lone Joe (Penn Badgley) haphazardly trying to clean up his mess, Season 4 wrapped up Joe's chapter in London with a move back to New York. We thought we saw the last of Rhys when Joe pushed him over a bridge, literally and figuratively, to finally bid his double persona goodbye.

Penn Badgley is back on our screens for part 2 of season 4 of Netflix's dark thriller You. This time Joe Goldberg has swapped the comfy suburbs of Los ...

He has reclaimed his identity and is fully protected by Kate’s wealth and status. The season ends with Joe and Kate in a luxurious penthouse apartment in New York doing an interview for a magazine, Joe’s past has been wiped clean thanks to Kate’s immense wealth and PR team, he’s got away with it all yet again. She injects her with beta-blockers that slow her pulse making her appear dead, when Joe leaves her body in a London park she escapes. What makes matters even worse, is that this dark side of his personality didn’t let Marienne (Tati Gabrielle) go, she’s actually locked in a basement in the infamous glass box, but Joe can’t remember where. [so many twists and turns it’ll leave you dizzy](/culture/television/you-season-4-part-2-review-penn-badgley-twists-turns-4058174). [Zavvi](https://twitter.com/zavvi/status/1633890476670750721), Badgley hinted that if there was a season 5 it would give fans a “beautiful conclusion”.

After all, we tend to think that there is one pretty-essential thing to point out at this given moment in time: Netflix is almost sure to bring the Penn Badgley ...

We do tend to think, at least for now, that we are going to have a chance to see the fifth season premiere in late spring / summer 2024, provided that the renewal comes soon. That does allow some of the key players a chance to do other things, while the streamer has flexibility as to when the show can come back. While we know that the streaming service can be relatively stingy at times when it comes to their renewals, we also know this: The viewership seems incredibly solid here.

Will Netflix's 'You' return for Season 5? Here's what we know so far about a potential fifth season, including the cast, plot, spoilers, and release date.

Given that Netflix has yet to commission Season 5, we're likely to be waiting at least a year. The beautiful thing about it is that when his arc is complete, so is the show." If Netflix announces a new season, then fans will have a brand new supporting cast of characters to get to know. This is a show that is in the tradition of these single-lead shows with a guy who does increasingly bad things. And there are already plans for a fifth season afoot, should it be given the green light. Even in the early conversations with Penn, the idea was not to crank out episodes forever; it's to feel like we have told the complete story.
