What time is You season 5 out on Netflix in the UK - is this the last season of hit Penn Badgley series?

Penn Badgley returns as everyone’s favourite serial killer Joe Goldberg in the new series of You.

The hit Netflix series returns to the platform this week, with fans eager to watch as stalker-turned serial killer Joe Goldberg returns to New York City, this time with wife Kate Lockwood (Charlotte Ritchie).

Fans watched the closing moments of season four as the couple returned to the Big Apple, attempting to rehabilitate Joe’s reputation and ingratiate him into Kate’s world of high society. Season five will see more of the same, but some of Joe’s dark desires surface when he returns to his old stomping ground.

Netflix confirmed before season five’s release that it would be the last installment of Joe Goldberg’s anti-hero story. Speaking to Netflix’s Tudum platform, co-showrunner and executive producer Michael Foley: “We always said that we would stop after five and [that], in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York.

“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.”

Actor Penn Badgley added: “Every season they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant. And this season, I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to just become grounded in the way that it needs to also have this kind of spectacular finish.”
