You Season 5: Will it be released on Netflix this fall season?

When is You Season 5 expected to return on Netflix?

After garnering positive feedback from reviewers and die-hard fans worldwide, the series was renewed for a fifth and final season after the fourth season ended earlier this year on March 9, 2023. Since then, the fans have been speculating whether the final season is going to be a part of the 2023–24 fall streaming season on Netflix or not. If you are wondering the same, then we can assure you that, as of writing this, no official release date for You Season 5 has been confirmed.  

This is a big relief for the fans who are worried that the final season might have been rushed, but on the bright side, it looks like the creators are taking their time to develop the scripts for the last chapter as the production of many shows has also been halted due to the ongoing 2023 WGA strike along with the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, which unfortunately hasn’t reached any agreement for the production to commence effectively, because the strikes are sadly speculated to last until October 2023!

As many recent reports have suggested an alternate release month, which is likely to happen only if, without a resolution or meaningful movement between AMPTP and WGA by October, the new 2023–24 series might be delayed until autumn 2024, putting certain sophomore and bubble shows—even beyond broadcast—in major trouble! So, the chances of You Season 5 premiering in the remaining months of this year, let alone being a part of Netflix’s 2023–24 fall streaming season, which is obviously impossible to happen at this point!

We know that this update is a bit disheartening, but we have to inform our beloved readers that Netflix recently released a teaser during Global Netflix’s Tudum fan event, which was held in Brazil in June 2023, and confirmed that the final chapter of Joe Goldberg’s Bloody Tale will definitely return in 2024, as it was always intended to! We predict that the final season might arrive as soon as possible, with the first quarter of 2024 (January, February, and March) being the likely release window, as the fourth season was also planned for the same timeframe without any unnecessary delays.

The series is also expected to premiere at the same time slot as every Netflix original series, which is 12:00 a.m. (PT) or 3:00 a.m. (ET). In order to receive updates on when You Season 5 premieres on Netflix, interested viewers can also enable notifications. Likewise, we would like to emphasize that this is all guesswork at this time, and fans should keep an eye on this topic. Also, the series will premiere on a worldwide scale, which will have different time zones for the international audience, which will help you stream the show along with the global viewers at the same time, which are as follows:

What to expect from You Season 5?

Nothing much has been revealed about the exact plotlines of You Season 5. But we are certain that the series, which is based on the novel by Caroline Kepnes, will once again center on Joe, a book-loving, hopeless romantic with a penchant for stalking and killing the women he (claims to) love, as well as anyone else who gets in his way. While Joe’s quest for The One began in New York, it carried him to Los Angeles in Season 2, then to the claustrophobic suburbs of San Francisco in Season 3, and finally to London in the fourth season, which has just begun.

The genre-hopping drama put him into a one-percent skewering whodunit across the pond, forcing him to finally acknowledge he’s not a decent man — an incontrovertible fact he resisted for far too long. Joe returns to New York City at the end of the season with his affluent partner Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) and a hazardous new lease on life – a life he’s finally realized is essentially immoral, which Badgley is eager to explore.

“There are many loose ends in Joe’s past,” Badgley says in the Netflix promo, as we see snippets of numerous people Joe has harmed over the last four seasons, which include Dr. Nicky (John Stamos), orphaned Ellie (Jenna Ortega), and Season 3’s bougie Conrads (Shalita Grant and Travis Van Winkle). However, Badgley is unable to confirm which of Joe’s surviving victims will return in Season 5. Tudum told Badgley before Season 4 premiered that he was looking forward to investigating this new and fully integrated version of Joe.

The final season will carry on from where the prior season ended, with Joe having finally admitted that his life is fundamentally immoral and having returned to New York City with his wealthy partner Kate and a perilous new perspective. “I think it sets us up to actually have a really great finale season,” said Badgley in an interview with Tudum ahead of Season 4’s debut. Further adding, “Can his inner monologue evolve some now? What does it mean for him to accept himself?”

“We intend to bring her every idea we can from our company for years to come,” they said before revealing that telling Joe’s story in five seasons had always been the plan. “Ever since our friends at Alloy shared Caroline Kepnes’ fantastic book, we have always conceived it as a five-season journey. We are excited to continue our relationship with Mike and Justin as they take over the reins as co-showrunners and prepare to bring Joe Goldberg home.”

You became an instant sensation on Netflix with a resounding cultural impact that has grown season over season,” said Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s VP of Scripted Series. “We’re excited — and a bit terrified — to see how it all ends for Joe Goldberg, but one thing is for sure: You are in for an unforgettable ending.” All these above statements have excited the fandom to see how the story will be concluded after all the madness of the last four seasons, which fans have loved to binge-watch! 

You Season 5 Expected Cast: Who will return to reprise their roles?

When it comes to the cast, nothing major has been confirmed, but one thing is certain: Penn Badgley obviously will return as Joe Goldberg. More casting will be announced later, as the story of the show will be different, which might need some new and old characters to conclude the overall plot. Moreover, series creator Sara Gamble will step down from her role as showrunner, and fellow executive producers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo will take over as showrunners.

“As I step back from day-to-day show running to focus on new projects, I’m immensely grateful to co-creator and all-around genius Greg Berlanti, Caroline Kepnes, my friends at Berlanti Productions and Alloy Entertainment, and our steadfast partners at Warner Bros and Netflix,” said Gamble.

Further adding, “Making the show alongside our writers, producers, directors, cast, and crew has been an honor and ridiculously fun. And I feel lucky to have worked with an artist as gifted and thoughtful as Penn Badgley. I’m proud of what we’ve all accomplished and feel privileged to pass the torch. I’m excited to watch and support the You team as they bring Joe Goldberg’s journey to its delightfully twisted conclusion.”

Additionally, Berlanti and Schechter expressed their excitement about working with Foley and Lo in their statement, thanking Gamble for overseeing the show. 

“We are so incredibly grateful to Netflix and Sera and everyone who has been a part of this show from the beginning. Sera is the most brilliant writer and partner and she will remain a key part of the You family as an executive producer. We intend to bring her every idea we can from our company for years to come,” said Berlanti and Schechter.

“We are excited to continue our relationship with Mike and Justin as they take over the reins as co-showrunners and prepare to bring Joe Goldberg home.” Foley and Lo also added, “Working with Greg and Sera on You has been a highlight of our careers and we’re incredibly honored to be entrusted with the final chapter of Joe Goldberg’s story.” 

You Season 5 Official Episode Count: How many will be there, and where to stream?

The fifth and final season of the beloved series is expected to include at least 10 episodes with an average runtime of 41 to 60 minutes, just like the prior seasons, in order to complete the overall series arc by being consistent. Of course, the final season can be supersized and divided into two parts, which, if it happens, will be confirmed later by the creators. Furthermore, the final season’s renewal was announced earlier this year, making any hopes for additional details being disclosed anytime soon restricted in order to avoid more spoilers!

Until then, we urge the readers to check out the series, which is available exclusively on Netflix, with other series of the same genre also accessible on the streaming platform. When You Season 5 releases, it will also stream exclusively on Netflix, with a range of membership options depending on the package you choose. The basic membership starts at $9.99/month, and the standard membership starts at $15.49/month at no additional cost with any of their services. The viewers can also use a VPN to stream the show if they do not have access to Netflix in their region.

You Season 5 Official Trailer: Has it been released?

As stated above, strikes due to the ongoing dual, many production houses have been put on a halt, resulting in Hollywood having a double strike on its hands, leading to a major delay in creating any new content. Hence, there is still a lot of time left for the official trailer to be released, as the pre-production stage is still underway, with the production slated to commence once the strikes reach an agreement in order to avoid any delays in the filming if the creators are aiming for it to premiere next year.  

So, it makes sense why no new official teaser or trailer can be published right now! For the time being, we request that the readers check out the official trailer for the fourth season in order to recall the plot, which showcases Joe Goldberg, posing as “Johnathan Moore,” is now residing in London, working as an English professor at a respected institution, and leading a sedate existence. He has also been following Marienne around Europe in an attempt to locate her.

His new life of solitude is disrupted when he begins to bond with a circle of wealthy socialites, who begin to die off one by one as serial murderers begin to target their elite group. Joe reverts to his old habits when he is pinned with evidence and blackmailed by the killer, who plays mind games with his subconscious. While trying to keep his true identity hidden from the group and working to catch the killer, Joe develops feelings for another woman named Kate, who is similar to Joe. 

The fourth season has an approval rating of 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 53 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The website’s critical consensus states, “The hunter becomes prey in You’s London-set fourth season, which shows some wear as this premise begins to outlive its believability—but Penn Badgley’s sardonic performance continues to paper over most lapses in logic.” On Metacritic, it received a score of 73 from 20 critics, indicating “generally favorable reviews.”
