The first half of the 4th season “You – You will love me” is currently running successfully on Netflix. Fans are of course eagerly waiting to see what happens next. Now Joe actor Penn Badgley has hinted that the series could end very soon.
In season 4 of “You”, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) has decided to finally leave his life of crime behind. He moves to London and takes the name Jonathan Moore to work as a professor. The hopes of not having any further suspicions, however, vanish into thin air after a short time. Because soon Joe aka Jonathan finds himself in a lot of problems again, which are ultimately also connected to the fact that he is trying to break away from Marienne (Tati Gabrielle) for good.
Meanwhile, the fourth season “You” is split into two parts. While the first five episodes are currently running very successfully on Netflix, the second half of the season will be released on 9 March 2023 – and fans are of course already eagerly awaiting it. However, in an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, lead actor Penn Badgley gave all “You” fans a little shock. Because it seems he doesn’t necessarily believe that the series will continue for very long.
IS “YOU” ENDING SOONER THAN EXPECTED?
In the interview, Badgley said, “I signed a six-year contract. So Netflix could do two more seasons if they wanted to. I think if there’s one more season, that’s where it’s going to stay. That’s just my take on it. I don’t know, I really don’t know. But I do know that everyone involved, from top to bottom, doesn’t want the show to get tired.”

So far, Netflix has not even confirmed the fifth season of “You”, but – given the popularity of the series – one can certainly assume that fans will at least still be able to enjoy it. Whether a sixth season will follow remains to be seen. Perhaps it will be decided to end the series with a film or to launch a shortened season. According to Penn Badgley, it could already be over after season 5. But that is just a feeling of the actor, who apparently fears that the story would otherwise be dragged out too much.
The fact that “You” is so celebrated is not least due to the fact that the series keeps reinventing itself from season to season. While season 1 still worked as a RomCom (which of course brought out some abysmal blossoms), season 2 lived from a big twist that put the events into a new context. Season 3 of “You”, on the other hand, was set as a kind of parody of suburban life. And now, in season 4, “You” sees itself more or less as a crime series. It is all held together by an ambivalent protagonist who always wants to change, but ultimately remains a serial killer who simply cannot get out of his skin.
