Netflix Releases Another New Look at Fifth and Final Season of YOU in New Teaser Trailer
Netflix has released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming fifth and final season of their hit series You. The quick teaser sees the show’s lead character, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), back in The Cage, which fans will recognize almost as a character in itself, or at least a majorly important set piece.
Joe bangs on the glass and buffs it clean, telling viewers, “Let’s get to know each other better before we bid one last farewell. Goodbye, you.”
In the date announcement trailer we shared a couple of weeks ago, we saw Joe returning to Mooney’s Rare & Used Books. He reflects on the past few years of heartbreak and changes of scenery.
“All that led me here to now, to where I was always meant to be. And the one constant, the one thing that has always been there for me, is… you,” he says. “Goodbye, you.”
In the epic fifth and final season, Joe returns to New York to enjoy his happily ever after… until his perfect life is threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires.
As the season unfolds, Joe will not only cross paths with a young woman, played by Madeline Brewer, who makes him reconsider his affluent life, but will also contend with his wife Kate’s (Charlotte Ritchie) siblings.
In addition to Badgley and Ritchie, there’s Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale), who will play Bronte, an enigmatic and free-spirited playwright who gets a job at Joe’s new bookstore.
As the two connect over literature and loss, Bronte stokes in Joe a nostalgia for his former self, causing him to question everything his life has become.
Griffin Matthews (The Flight Attendant) is playing Teddy Lockwood, Joe’s snarky yet loyal brother-in-law. A confidante who was never fully accepted by the Lockwood family, Teddy brings authenticity and empathy to a family for whom such things are a foreign concept.
Anna Camp (Hysteria!) is pulling double duty as Raegan and Maddie Lockwood, Joe’s twin sisters-in-law. Raegan is the cunning, cutthroat CFO of the Lockwood Corp who has her eyes on the throne and will crush any adversary … be they family or not.
Maddie, on the other hand, presents as the unserious twin, a thrice-divorced socialite whose job is “vaguely PR.” But make no mistake, a master manipulator lies beneath Maddie’s frivolous facade.
Season 5’s recurring cast includes Natasha Behnam (The Girls on the Bus) as Dominique, who appears to be an aloof hipster; b (they/them) (Station 19, Birds of Empire) as Phoenix, a shrewd and resourceful person with a strong moral code; Pete Ploszek (Parks and Recreation) as Harrison, Joe’s golden retriever brother-in-law; Tom Francis (Sunset Boulevard) as Clayton, a pretentious, self-absorbed, wannabe author whose vindictive, controlling nature draws Joe’s attention; Nava Mau (Baby Reindeer) as Detective Marquez.
As if that wasn’t enough, Badgley previously teased at Tudum: A Global Fan Event that a familiar face from Joe’s past will come back to haunt him in Season 5, creating problems for his Big Apple homecoming.
Check out the new teaser below, and watch season 5 of You on Netflix on April 24th.
