What number of extra occasions can Joe Goldberg get away with homicide?
With the fourth season of You now streaming on Netflix, the way forward for the hit drama—and the serial killer it follows—could be on viewers’ minds. Within the newest set up of the sequence, Joe (Penn Badgley) turns over a brand new leaf in London, the place he is now working as a professor, however his previous catches as much as him when an nameless killer begins concentrating on members of his wealthy new pal group and pinning the murders on him. By the top of episode 5, he discovers who’s been framing him and embarks on a mission to cease his tormentor.
That is the place season Four ends for now, as the remainder of the ten episodes hit Netflix on March 9. However what’s subsequent for Joe after this chapter ends? (Will he lastly get caught?) This is what we all know.
Has you been renewed for season 5?
Not but, however a renewal appears extremely probably contemplating the present’s reputation. Showrunner Sera Gamble has additionally expressed her plans for the sequence to span a number of seasons. She advised The Hollywood Reporter again in 2019 after season 2, “I’m not scared in any respect of claiming that we undoubtedly might observe Joe for a number of extra seasons.”
What would season 5 be about?
It is nonetheless too early to foretell, particularly because the setup for the next season will depend on what transpires in season 4, half 2, which arrives subsequent month. “You will know what the subsequent season could be if you see the top of this season,” Gamble advised The Hollywood Reporter this 12 months. “We let you know what the thought is.”
Regardless of the lengthy wait forward, Gamble is already taking part in with plot concepts for season 5. She advised THR:
“We have now an concept for season 5 that we’re enthusiastic about. It was by no means anybody’s intention to run this one into the bottom. After we’re executed, we’ll be executed. And we’ll pack it up. Even within the early conversations with Penn, the thought wasn’t to crank out episodes without end; it is to really feel like we have advised the whole story. And although I really feel like tonally, we’re very totally different and we aren’t attempting to promote Joe as any type of a hero with a straight face. This can be a present that’s within the custom of those single-lead exhibits with a man who does more and more unhealthy issues. The attractive factor about it’s that when his arc is full, so is the present.”
Who can be within the solid?
Until the You group throws us a complete curveball, we’re banking on Penn Badgley to proceed main the present as Joe. As we have seen up to now, he often finds himself in a brand new crowd—typically even in a brand new metropolis—every season, so we would not be shocked to listen to of latest casting bulletins as soon as season 5 is confirmed. As for the present season Four solid, which ranges from Lukas Gage to Charlotte Ritchie to Tati Gabrielle, we’ll have to attend till half 2 arrives to see who makes it out alive.
