Netflix is closing the book on You. The Lifetime-turned-Netflix psychological thriller, based on the books by Caroline Kepnes, will take a stab at its fifth and final season on Thursday, April 24.
Following his stint in London, serial killer Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) is back in New York with his wife Kate (Charlotte Ritchie). However, their efforts to settle into a “happily ever after” are disrupted when Joe’s “past resurfaces, threatening his new life and testing his ability to reconcile his old self with his current one.” In the final season, “Joe faces the challenges of reconciling his past with his present as his dark desires and the ghosts of his past come back to haunt him.”
Joining the cast for the final season are Madeline Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale), Anna Camp (Pitch Perfect), and Griffin Matthews (She-Hulk).
