The last episode of You Season 4 was called The Death of Jonathan Moore and was released on March 9th. Joe tries to dispose of the body of Marienne thinking that she must have died. He places it at a park to make it look like a case of OD. Edward is informed by Nadia that they faked Marienne’s death so that she could escape.
Lockwood is murdered by Joe and tries to jump off a bridge. But the cops save him. Kate greets him at the hospital and informs him about covering up the murder of Rhys. Later Nadia gets framed in the murder of Edward by Joe and later he moves to New York with Kate.
Is You Season 5 Happening?
Netflix has greenlit You Season 5 and they have also confirmed that it will be the final season of the show. The production of the show was delayed by the Hollywood strikes and it finally began in March 2024.
A major development happened as Sera Gamble stepped down as the showrunner. You Season 5 will have Justin W. Lo and Michael Foley as its showrunners. It will finally conclude the storyline of Joe, the serial killer who has been on a killing spree since the maiden season.
What To Expect From It?
The initial seasons were based on novels so it was easier to predict where the plot would head. Now, we can only speculate that Joe will meet his eventual end and he might die in You Season 5. We can expect a lot of killings also since that’s in the nature of the character but his crimes will eventually pay in the final season.
Overall, the final season will be the most dramatic and thrilling of all since it will put an end to this serial killer story.

Other actors who will return for the finale are Anna Camp (Raegan/Maddie Lockwood), Griffin Matthews (Teddy Lockwood), Natasha Behnam (Dominique), Pete Ploszek (Harrison) and Tom Francis (Clayton) among others.
