Netflix’s most-awaited series, You, Season 5, has been renewed. In the last season, we saw Joe’s London vacation come to a horrible conclusion. For the fans, this is really great news that You has been renewed for the fifth season, but we expect to learn more in the coming weeks.
This is a romantic crime drama series created by Greg Berlanti for Netflix, based on the novels “You” and “Hidden Bodies” written by Caroline Kepnes.
Prior to its arrival on Netflix, the show was on Lifetime. There was a time when Netflix picked up the series as an original.
You Season 5: Renewal Status
At the time of writing, Netflix has yet to declare the renewal for the fifth season of You. On considering about the second half of the fourth season has just become available to stream, we might be waiting for several weeks before any news on renewal.
We have got the first several weeks of data from the first half of the season to determine the show is performing and speculate:
| Week Period | Hours Viewed(M) | Rank | Week in Top 10 |
| February 5th, 2023 to February 12th, 2023 | 92,070,000 | 1 | 1 |
| February 12th, 2023 to February 19th, 2023 | 64,060,000 (-30%) | 1 | 2 |
| February 19th, 2023 to February 26th, 2023 | 27,750,000 (-57%) | 5 | 3 |
The first half of the fourth season has only been able to amass 183,880,000 million hours viewed since the release and dropped out of the global top ten by the fourth week.
This must be noted that many fans avail online and made it clear that they might not be watching the fourth season until the ten episodes became available. By collecting things, all four seasons have amassed over 1 billion viewing hours on Netflix.
However, while you can consider Netflix has only been releasing weekly data since Q3 2021 if you contain the viewing data from season 2, that has pushed the viewing stats more than 1.5 billion viewing hours. The total number of viewing hours is even higher still when you consider the viewing data from the first season was never released except for the fact that the series had 40 million viewers.
You Season 5: Expectation
Joe become the Billionaire
This is the second time in his life, the power and money of the family of Joe’s significant other protected him from facing the consequences of his crimes. For the things the credit goes to Kate for inheriting her father’s fortune and company, Joe now holds access to near-unlimited resources.
Joe has experienced his dark self
By imagining himself as the hero of his own story, Joe has tried to battle the darker side of his personality. This time the attempt to disassociate himself from his actions was very strong, as it resulted in a mental breakdown which saw Joe hallucinate a manifestation of the dark side of himself.
This mainly symbolized Joe’s reflection in the skyscraper window, and seeing Rhys’s reflection in return is our confirmation that Joe has now embraced his darker self.
Joe killing is fun?
If you give a close look then you may see that other than anyone threatening him or Kate, Joe has no further justification to murder, anyone. However, this is Joe we’re discussing, which means some poor unfortunate soul will cross his path eventually, and wind up dead.
It’s true that Joe likes to kill, only now with Kate’s power and influence does he possesses the opportunity to murder with impunity. By knowing he has been protected, Joe may get sloppy as he looks for any reason to chase the thrill of the kill, especially if he can justify it through some virtuous self-reasoning, such as protecting himself and Kate.
Will Joe’s past return to faint him?
After having such power and influence, you will get three of the large loose conclusions that haven’t been dealt with entirely.
After rejecting to cooperate with Joe, Nadia is currently in prison to be framed for the murder of her boyfriend. In time, there may be a way for her to be released.
We’re not even confirming if Joe knows that Marienne is alive. For her sake, this is better if it continued that way. As the story continues we will see her daughter, Juliette, is the main reason why Marienne may never expose her existence to Joe, but, if Marienne decides to try and bring him to justice, she may need help.
Finally, this is Ellie, the sister of Delilah, who was killed by Love Quinn. There is Joe who was still in the US he was regularly sending money to Ellie while she was at college in New York City. After Jow getting faked his death and moved to England, this is still unclear if those payments continued. Joe’s come back to the states is a tale of great fascination.
Now, it becomes extremely public as Kate has used her power and influence to control the narrative and make Joe the victim of his former wife Love Quinn. If Ellie can connect the dots, and realize Joe’s part to play in Delilah’s death, then she may look to seek revenge on behalf of her sister.
It must be noted that Jenna Ortega was meant to make an appearance in the fourth season of You, but her busy schedule stopped her from reprising her role. However, if there is time in her schedule to return we may see her in You once more.
Will Joe receive his own stalker?
Since the past four seasons, Joe has stalked many people, containing himself, but the main object of obsession getting limited to a small pool of people, Beck Love, Marienne, and the imagined Rhys. Along with Joe now being a subject of great fascination in the media, perhaps it’s about time Joe becomes stalked.
You Season 5: Cast
The most amazing fact is Netflix has renewed the fifth season of the most wanted drama series. Penn Badgley will be returning as Joe Goldberg, We are also expecting Charlie Ritchie to perform her role as Kate Lockwood in the fifth season. Here is the Twitter:
