You Season 5: Everything We Know So Far About The Netflix Hit

In fairness, there were hints. Like when Penn Badgley discussed it on an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, saying: “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.”

Or when he told IndieWire: “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,” adding later on in the interview: “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.”

Let’s remember though, it’s not over ‘til it’s over. And so, with that in mind, here’s everything we know about You Season 5.

Is there a You season 5 release date yet?

Yes! Mark those calendars because season 5 lands on 24th April 2025.

What can we expect from the You season 5 plot?

According to Netflix’s TUDUM, Joe will “return to New York City with his wealthy partner Kate and a dangerous new lease on life — a life he’s finally admitted is fundamentally immoral”. Crucially, Joe’s acceptance of this immoral behaviour is something that Penn Badgley is excited about exploring.

We also have additional clues in the form of an interview with Sera Gamble, a showrunner for You.

“We have an idea for season five that we’re excited about,” she revealed in a podcast interview with the Hollywood Reporter‘s show, TV’s Top 5, adding “It was never anyone’s intention to run this one into the ground. When we’re done, we’ll be done.”

Sera also opens up about the forthcoming season’s location, adding: “You’ll know what the next season would be when you see the end of this season. We tell you what the idea is.”

Where will the new series be set?

Given that main character Joe – played by Penn Badgley – and his girlfriend Kate – Charlotte Ritchie – return to New York at the end of season 4 (which is set in London), the future season location also seems to be confirmed.

“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,” adding later on in the interview: “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.”

So there’s that, at least, even if the hit series is potentially nearing a finish line after that point.

You seasons 1-4 are available to watch on Netflix.
