Everything to know about You season 5
You season 5 was filmed between March and August 2024. Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo took over as showrunners from Sera Gamble, who stepped down from the role after the fourth season. The series was initially set to premiere in 2024, but its release date was pushed back to 2025 due to the SAG-AFTRA strikes in Hollywood in the second half of 2023.
Unlike You season 4's London setting, the new season is set in New York City and will feature 10 episodes. In 2023, Penn Badgley, who plays the serial killer Joe Goldberg, teased fans by saying that the upcoming season will see the return of a familiar character from previous seasons. However, he did not divulge any further details.
On March 20, 2024, Variety announced that Griffin Matthews and Anna Camp had joined the cast of You season 5. Matthews will play Kate's sarcastic brother Teddy Lockwood. His official character description is as follows:
"(He is a) snarky yet loyal brother-in-law of Joe Goldberg. A confidante who was never fully accepted by the Lockwood family, Teddy brings authenticity and empathy to a family for whom such things are a foreign concept."
Moreover, Anna Camp will appear in a double role as Kate's identical twin sisters, Reagan and Maddie Lockwood. Their official character descriptions, as per Variety, are as follows:
"Raegan is the cunning, cutthroat CFO of the Lockwood Corp who has her eyes on the throne and will crush any adversary…be them family or not. Maddie, on the other hand, presents as the unserious twin, a thrice-divorced socialite whose job is ‘vaguely PR.’ But make no mistake, a master manipulator lies underneath Maddie’s frivolous façade."
Madeline Brewer will play the free-spirited playwright Bronte, who connects with Joe after working at his new bookstore. She makes Joe question his life choices and awakens a desire in him to be more than a serial killer.
