Baby, it’s You! Netflix’s Penn Badgley–starring hit, You, will return for a fifth and final season, and now we have a detective assigned to the case.

Who’s taking down Goldberg?

One detective is ready to take him on. On July 29, it was announced that Baby Reindeer star Nava Mau was cast as Detective Marquez. Maybe her first stop will be at Mooney’s, where she’ll find Madeline Brewer as Bronte, a “free-spirited playwright” and bookstore employee who makes Joe yearn for his former self. Other hipsters this season include Natasha Behnam as Dominque, b as Phoenix, and Tom Francis as Clayton. Outside of his job, Joe’s family is getting a little bigger; he gets a couple of in-laws this season: Griffin Matthews plays the “snarky” Teddy Lockwood, and Pete Ploszek plays the “Golden Retriever” Harrison Lockwood. As for his wife Kate’s (Charlotte Ritchie) sisters, Anna Camp will be doubling up as Raegan and Maddie Lockwood.

Who’s leading the team?

The show is returning one last time but without creator and showrunner Sera Gamble at the helm. She’ll be replaced by executive producers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo, though she will continue as an EP on the project. “As I step back from day-to-day showrunning to focus on new projects, I’m immensely grateful to co-creator and all-around genius Greg Berlanti, Caroline Kepnes, my friends at Berlanti Productions and Alloy Entertainment, and our steadfast partners at Warner Bros. and Netflix,” Gamble said in a statement. “I feel lucky to have worked with an artist as gifted and thoughtful as Penn Badgely. I’m proud of what we’ve all accomplished and feel privileged to pass the torch. I’m excited to watch and support the You team as they bring Joe Goldberg’s journey to its delightfully twisted conclusion.” Production for the final season began in late March.

What’s gonna happen to Joe?

We don’t have any details about what season five will look like yet besides a cast of characters that will feel at home in a coffee shop. Even the Netflix press release is wondering if Goldberg will “finally get his judgment day.” Anyone still horny for this serial killer better beware.
