Penn Badgley is ready to say goodbye to ‘You’ character, Joe Goldberg
After playing Joe Goldberg on “You” for the past 10 years, Penn Badgley reflects on the show’s impact.
Hey you! Joe’s back in New York.
Netflix’s thriller drama “You” returns this week for an “epic fifth and final season,” according to Netflix as “Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) returns to New York to enjoy his happily ever after… until his perfect life is threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires.”
Co-showrunner and executive producer Michael Foley told Netflix’s Tudum the producers loved the “idea of things coming full circle for” Joe.
“We always said that we would stop after five and [that], in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York,” Foley told Tudum. “We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We’re excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than [who] we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new.”
According to Netflix, the final season picks up three years after Joe and Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) left London for New York City. Kate is now CEO of the Lockwood Corporation while Joe is her loyal husband “dubbed Prince Charming by the adoring public.”
While the two are “following through on their pact to help each other do good,” it is not long before Joe’s misadventures catch up with him.
