You Season 5 Release Date: When will Netflix start streaming the final episodes of its serial killer web series?

Penn Badgley, known for playing Joe Goldberg in Netflix’s You, says he’s ready to move on as the show enters its final season. After years of portraying the twisted lead, he says with a smile that he won’t have to talk about Joe again unless he wants to.

Speaking with The Guardian, Badgley questions why society often makes heroes out of evil people. He believes it’s important to explore both dark and light sides of human nature. However, he now feels the world is in a different political place than when You started.

Back then, rewarding bad behaviour in stories seemed like a fun topic. But, today, he says it feels heavier and more serious.

“And for that reason, I’m really glad it’s ending,” he said with a smile.
