You Season 5 Teaser Trailer & Image Show Joe Returning To Familiar Places For Final Episodes
New drops have offered a closer look at the upcoming season of You. The Netflix show, which is based on the Caroline Kepnes book series of the same name, follows Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) stalking women in various locations and killing almost everyone who gets in his way. You season 5, which takes place in New York City for the first time since season 1, sees Joe returning to his original stomping grounds and marks the final season of the popular series.
Now, Netflixhas shared an official teaser for You season 5. The teaser features the return of Joe's iconic internal monologue, seemingly addressing the audience while he cleans the glass cage in which he cleans his victims as he prepares to "bid each other one last farewell." He closes the video by saying, out loud, "Goodbye, you." See the video below:
They also revealed a new first-look image from the upcoming season. It shows a well-dressed Joe standing on a New York City street corner while on his phone. See the full-size image below:
What This Means For You Season 5
It Features Familiar Locations With Some Differences
So far, it seems unlikely that the footage from the teaser will actually be a part of an upcoming episode, as it seems designed to directly address the audience in a way that is abnormal for the show itself. However, it does seem to be teasing that, in addition to the return of previous You cast member Charlotte Ritchie as Kate Lockwood, the show will feature the return of familiar settings and that Joe's sinister glass cage could be seen once more at its original location in the basement of Mooney's bookstore.
Mooney's bookstore was featured in a previous teaser for You season 5.
While the image does seem to be from an actual episode, what it contains is somewhat unusual. While Joe looks as though he may be stalking someone, he is not wearing his usual dark baseball cap, which he typically uses to obscure his face. This could indicate that he is being less careful with his identity, which is something that was teased when the You season 4 ending took him back to New York City, where he committed his first murders of the show.
Our Take On The You Season 5 Update
Joe Could Be Caught
If Joe is indeed being less careful about disguising himself, his habit of finding a new woman to stalk every season could land him in hot water. You is already coming full circle by returning him to New York City, and he could potentially be recognized by somebody who was suspicious of him from his original crimes, which were committed while stalking Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail) in season 1. This makes it entirely possible that the show could come to a close with him finally being caught.
You season 5 debuts on Netflix on April 24.
