'You' Season 5 trailer: Who awaits the final hello and lasting goodbye?

Hello, You. So, here we are. The end of the road. Or is it just another twisted beginning? You see, endings are funny that way; messy, unpredictable, never quite what you expect. But you already know that, don’t you? The final season. The grand finale of our dance. And you’re here, waiting to devour every last, bloody morsel of my story. I can’t blame you. After all, it’s intoxicating, isn’t it? Watching a man like me try to outrun his sins. Try to find love in a world that only wants to twist and taint it. But what happens when the hunter becomes the hunted? When the mask slips and all that’s left is the raw, unfiltered truth? Keep watching, You. Because this time, there’s nowhere left to hide.

It seems fitting doesn't it? To attempt to explain the plot of the final season of you in an iconic Joe Goldberg-esque monologue. However, it goes without saying that this whiplash of a protagonist isn't the most reliable, so, in a more digestible and trustworthy way - what can be expected from the final season of Netflix's hit show 'You'.

As Netflix's 'You' prepares to bow out of the running after the release of season five on April 24th, the stakes have never been higher, and Joe Goldberg has never been more desperate. Redemption and possession don't play fairly together, and Joe's final push to find the line between peace and passion is seeming to be as bloody as it could be compelling.

The last season of the show left when two paths crossed, that being, Joe and the Eat the Rich killer.... also Joe. As the final season unfolds, fans can expect a collision of all the threads Joe has left dangling in his wake. The showrunners have hinted at a darker, more introspective journey that might just push Joe to his breaking point; if he hasn’t already shattered.

Will the final season provide closure or just be an allusion of the concept? One things for sure: the road won't be pretty.

Joe claims amidst the trailer that in order to enjoy the sweet things, you have to bury your old self - however, the past has shown that he is not the best with burials. Instead, it seems he's chosen to shield himself from the truth, the public, with the return of what can be assumed as his son, once abandoned in season three. However, when the local newspaper catches wind of the trail not properly tucked away, familial DNA might not be enough.

Though, it seems family is going to be a central topic in the grand finale, with the Lockwood family (Kate - the season four love interest), in disarray over the prospect of a lifetime of money and respect in the balance of one business. Will a prenup of turmoil between the couple bring them together on a upscaled killing scheme like Joe proposed, or will it end up in one final death?

With that chop-shop rundown, the only thing to do now is keep one stalkerish eye on the Netflix home page on April 24th.

So, this is it. The end. Not the clean, controlled finale I imagined, but chaos: raw and relentless. Because the truth always waits, patient and unforgiving. And if you’re still here, You, clinging to every twisted word, maybe that’s all that mattered. The story. The obsession. The desperate hope something was worth saving. But maybe the darkness was all there ever was. Either way, it’s over. Isn’t it?
