Hints from the trailer of You Season 5...
Netflix's dark and suspenseful series You is preparing to bid farewell to viewers with its fifth and final season, set to be released on April 24. While Penn Badgley’s character, Joe Goldberg, claims to have changed since the first season, the trailer and shared details suggest otherwise. So, how will this story end for Joe?
The new season brings Joe back to New York. He is now married to Kate, living a high-status life, and has entered the elite circles of society. However, we know that no matter how hard Joe tries to change, his past never leaves him. In the trailer, we hear his inner voice:
'You have a great life. It's not worth the risk.'
But for those who know Joe's nature, this isn’t a warning—it’s a sign of an impending disaster. He is a prisoner of the hell he created, someone who will never stop sabotaging his own peace.
A line from Kate in the trailer stands out:
'Do you want us to kill everyone who has doubted us throughout our lives?'
Joe's response shows just how dangerous his mindset is:
'Is it so wrong if you have a valid reason?'
This dialogue is one of the clearest examples of how Joe justifies all his crimes from previous seasons. He views murder as a necessity, a means to deliver justice. But this time, things may not go as expected.
What could happen in the finale? Here are the most discussed possibilities:
- Joe gets caught
Joe has committed murder numerous times in the past, covering his tracks and escaping each time. However, he is now in a much bigger arena, more exposed, and with more enemies. Detectives in New York, the relatives of his past victims, or Kate's circle could unmask him. This time, justice might finally prevail.
- Joe brings about his own end
Throughout the season, we will witness Joe grappling with himself. If his inner conflict grows, the weight of his past could become too heavy for him to bear. This could lead to an unexpected end for the character—meaning he may end his own life. It’s possible we could see a finale where Joe surrenders to his inner voice.
- A new serial killer hunts Joe
The biggest surprise in the series might be Joe finding himself as the prey. Someone he ruined in the past might return and punish him in their own way. In fact, the presence of someone telling Joe's story from the beginning could be his greatest fear. You has never followed a traditional storyline, so maybe this time the main character could completely change.
- Joe starts a new life
If, like in the past, Joe somehow manages to escape once again, we might see him in a new place under a new identity. However, this would make it difficult to truly close the story. Even so, You’s finale could end on an open note, leaving room for Joe to start a new life.
What do you think?
Netflix’s message, 'Every obsession must come to an end,' suggests that the series will conclude with an inescapable ending for Joe. However, how this obsession will end will keep us all glued to our screens on April 24.
