Netflix has had some great original series over the years, and although You began airing on Lifetime, the series has been a staple of the streaming service since season 2. After a surprising part 1 of You season 4, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) continued his reign of terror in London, and it's hard to know what's going to happen in the fifth and last season of the popular thriller.
Fans know that Joe has teamed up with his latest love interest Kate Galvin (Charlotte Ritchie), but there are no other hints available. Viewers are enjoying thinking about what stories could be told in You season 5, and they know that it's going to be a bumpy and wild ride.
What Fans Want To Happen In You Season 5
In one Reddit thread, fans shared their You season 5 predictions, which mostly center around Joe Goldberg and Kate Galvin's complicated relationship. Although there are many funny memes about Joe, it seems that the fifth season will be even darker than what came before because of the unique position that Joe is in. The You season 4 finale revealed that Kate knows all about Joe's past murders and is willing to continue their relationship. However, Redditor @nottherealmeas thinks Kate doesn't know everything about Joe, which would create more drama in the fifth season. The fan wrote:
"Kate is still oblivious as to who Joe really is. She doesn't know half of the stuff he's done, and I don't think she is going to believe it in season 5."
It does seem likely that Joe still has some secrets up his sleeve. Since he didn't fully trust Beck or Love, it's hard to imagine he feels differently about Kate. There might be a big reveal halfway through You season 5. This would not only be exciting to watch but would shock Kate and make her realize she's in danger. You is one of the most entertaining thrillers on Netflix thanks to the character development but also all the twists. Just when fans think the show is going down one path, it moves in another direction, which ensures that it's never stale or boring.
Redditor @skoiatollo thinks that Joe will run a bookstore and an important character will return in You season 5. The fan wrote:
"Having a trophy wife eventually gets to Joe and he starts to yearn for past when it was less complicated and he was pretty much left to his own devices. He recreates the comforting past by managing the bookstore as a pet project. He also is haunted by a person from the past and whoever that person might be, he or she ends up in his cage in the bookstores basement."
Redditor @Old-Reception4756 thinks Joe could become a political candidate in You season 5. The fan wrote:
"Joe will run for election campaign like becoming a mayor or president."
The fan thinks that since Joe seemed impressed by Rhys in the fourth season, he might think that he could do the same thing. Considering how insecure Joe is and how powerful he wants to feel, it would definitely be logical for him to run for office. While You season 4 didn't answer every question that viewers had, the season did dive more into Joe's terrifying personality, and seeing him try to become a politician would be creepy and memorable.
Finally, Redditor @AJ_Babe thinks that past characters could show up in one way or another. The fan wrote:
"Joe will see his victims."
What Happened In You Seasons 1-4?
Seasons 1 through 4 of You are shocking and follow Joe Goldberg's journey as he convinces himself that he has found love and then kills or harms anyone whom he believes is in his way. In the first season, Joe falls for Beck and fans are introduced to the cage in the NYC bookstore's basement, one of the scariest parts of the series.
In You season 2, Joe moves to Los Angeles and thinks he has gotten away with murder this time. He and meets a compelling cast of characters, including Jenna Ortega's teenage character Ellie Alves. He falls for Love Quinn and learns that she is just as terrifying and dark as he is, if not even more. The wild ride of a season has an unexpected conclusion, and Joe and Love are expecting a baby boy, which sets them up for a life in suburbia. Fans could tell that Joe wouldn't be happy or at peace for long.
Both You seasons 3 and 4 up the stakes and prove how evil Joe is while still playing with his humanity and showing the tough moments he goes through. After Joe moves on from Love, he meets Kate Galvin and thinks he can stay innocent this time. You season 4 has some shocking episodes and the fourth season has a cliffhanger ending that sets up a very different You season 5.
