Netflix's "You" Just Ended After Five Seasons, So Here's What Happened To Joe Goldberg
It's the end of a TV era on Netflix. After five seasons, You has officially come to an end. So, whether you watched every episode or you fell off somewhere along the way, here's what happened to Joe Goldberg and some fan-favorite characters at the very end: 🚨 There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead! 🚨 Sherry Conrad After being locked in Joe's cage by Love Quinn in Season 3, Sherry appears in the final season in a video after Joe is caught on a livestream murdering Clayton, who is the son of Dr. Nicky Angevine from Season 1. Conrad Sherry's husband, Cary, appears in the video with her. After writing a book about escaping the cage, the duo has become bestselling authors, and they plug their book while talking about how they always knew Joe Goldberg was a bad guy. Paco was last seen in Season 1, when he was one of Joe's neighbors in NYC. He's one of only a few characters that Joe has shown actual kindness towards. In the final season, Paco appears in a video talking about Joe after the livestream of him killing Clayton goes viral. He mentions how Joe saved him and his mom from his mom's abusive boyfriend. Ethan, Joe's former coworker at Mooney's from Season 1, also appears in a video talking about Joe after the livestream of Clayton's murder goes viral. Despite them being friends in Season 1, he immediately says that he "makes it a practice" of believing the victims, and speaks out against Joe. Atwater Annika appeared in Season 1 as one of Peach and Beck's best friends, who maintained that Joe definitely killed Peach. Like the characters above, Annika appears in a video discussing how Joe was likely involved in Peach's death after the video of him killing Clayton goes viral. Lockwood Introduced in the final season, Reagan is Kate's sister and is the cutthroat CFO of the T.R. Lockwood Corporation. After Reagan continuously tries to undermine Kate, talks ill about Joe, and talks openly about Love Quinn, Joe decides to kidnap Reagan and lock her in the cage. Kate also reveals to Joe that she knows about two murders that he committed. After going to the office and kidnapping Reagan, Joe then realizes that he actually kidnapped her twin sister, Maddie, instead. With a bit of needling from Joe, Maddie ultimately kills Reagan after Joe continuously points out how her sister does not respect her, etc. Lockwood After Joe accidentally kidnaps Maddie — because Maddie was actually sleeping with Reagan's husband Harrison — he eventually convinces her to kill her sister and assume her identity. Due to Maddie's unyielding trust in Joe, she does just that and even resigns Reagan's position at the Lockwood Corporation. As the season continues, Maddie struggles with what she did to Reagan, and while trying to continue the lie, Harrison eventually figures things out. Although Joe and Maddie try to convince him to stay quiet about Reagan's death, Joe frames him for the murder. In the very end, the charges against Harrison are dropped, and Maddie is ultimately tried for Reagan's murder and arson (more on that later). She didn't serve time, went to rehab, and officially got together with Harrison, and they are expecting twins. Fareedi Nadia first appeared in Season 4 as one of Joe's students while he was living in London under the name Jonathan Moore. Joe ultimately frames Nadia for a murder he committed. When the final season begins, Nadia is in prison. However, after Kate decides that she's going to end Joe once and for all, she uses her power, influence, and money to get Nadia out of jail so that she can help Kate imprison Joe for his crimes. In the very end, Nadia begins writing again and becomes a teacher. She also returns to the prison where she served to teach her former fellow inmates. Bellamy After Joe thinks she is dead, Marienne returns in the final season after Kate and Nadia tell her they are trying to take down Joe. She appears in Mooney's basement after Joe has been locked in the cage. While Nadia and Kate tend to Joe, Marienne has a conversation with Bronte, Joe's love interest and new target in the final season. She explains how Joe is a very bad guy and everything he has done to her and others. In the end, Marienne returns to making art. Lockwood At the end of Season 4, Kate and Joe get married and move from London to NYC so that Kate can run the Lockwood Corporation. Similar to Joe's other love interests, eventually Kate starts to see the darkness within Joe, and while he tries to get her to accept it, she flat-out denies him. This starts a tug of war between Kate and Joe that encompasses most of the final season, with Kate vowing to figure out a way to send Joe to prison. Kate begins to investigate Joe and learns about Marienne, and she begins to suspect that he killed Love Quinn. After Joe is arrested for killing Clayton, she tricks him into signing custody papers so she can take Henry. While in London, Kate gets Nadia out of prison to assist in taking down Joe, with the duo eventually getting him in the cage in the basement of Mooney's. However, while down there, Maddie sets fire to the bookstore, causing Kate and Joe to be trapped downstairs — oh, Joe escapes the cage by hiding a key INSIDE HIS ARM. Joe is ultimately rescued, while Kate is left to die in the fire. Ultimately, Kate survives the Mooney's fire and turns over the Lockwood Corporation to Teddy, her brother, who turns it into a nonprofit. She goes back to her first love of art and works alongside Marienne. Goldberg After Joe leaves Henry, his and Love's son, with neighbors in Season 3, he returns in the final season and lives with Joe and Kate. In the beginning of the final season, Henry has an altercation with Reagan and Harrison's daughter at school, after he learns some not-so-great things about his real mom, Love. Eventually, while trying to imprison Joe, Kate takes Henry to London and has custody of him, and the last thing he tells Joe is that he thinks he's a monster. In the end, Kate and Henry live happily ever after as an adorable little family. Flannery/Bronte Bronte, aka Louise Flannery, is the final girl in Season 5. She first appears as someone who Joe catches breaking into Mooney's, which he now owns. And he's immediately infatuated with her, thus becoming the object of his desire for the final 10 episodes. As the season progresses, we learn that Bronte was actually a student and friend of Guinevere Beck. For the last few years, following Beck's murder, Bronte has been searching for Joe, and gets in touch with Clayton and two of his friends, to try and figure out a way to take down Joe. While they investigate Joe for years, they stop after his apparent death, only to see his return to society with Kate. This leads Bronte to seek Joe out using a fake name, thinking she can make him fall in love with her. Joe's fascination with Bronte is what leads to him confronting Clayton and murdering him, with Bronte even taking Joe's side in the whole mess, which leads to him being released from jail. After Joe is locked in the cage by Kate, Nadia, and Marienne, Bronte must make a decision about her relationship with Joe. She's the one who saves him from the fire at Mooney's and decides that being close to him is the only way to end Joe Goldberg once and for all. In the series finale, while away at a cabin together, Bronte makes her move. She demands to know how he killed Beck, with Joe ultimately trying to kill Bronte. While fleeing, she calls 911, and the cops show up, as Bronte and Joe fight in the woods. Goldberg Hello, you. Joe Goldberg ultimately gets the justice he deserves. After fighting with Bronte in the woods, she shoots him (in the penis for added karma) and the cops arrest him. He is charged with the murders of Love Quinn and Guinevere Beck, with more allegations and convictions following. He's sentenced to life in prison. In the final minutes of the series, Joe is reading in his jail cell, and reads fan mail he's been receiving. He determines that he is not the problem, but society is. finally, Guinevere Beck Justice is ultimately served as Joe is arrested for Beck's murder. Following his sentencing, Bronte decides to rewrite Beck's book, taking out all of the parts Joe wrote and added in following her death. It's an even bigger success than the original version. Well, there you have it! The end of an era. What did you think of the final season of You? Tell us everything in the comments below!

‘Penn Badgley didn't know who I was!' Charlotte Ritchie on Ghosts, You and conquering global telly
In the beginning, Penn Badgley assumed his new co-star in the smash-hit Netflix thriller You was a lot like her character. This, jokes said co-star Charlotte Ritchie, was 'somewhat rude. Because it shows he did no research about me.' If he had, Badgley would quickly have deduced that the Londoner was nothing like Kate Galvin, a ruthless British heiress, who – for some godforsaken reason – decides to marry his serial killer protagonist Joe Goldberg. Instead, the 35-year-old has cemented her place in the British comedy firmament with her perky, subtly goofy screen presence and impeccable comic timing, as showcased in beloved comedies from university life opus Fresh Meat to the BBC's ingeniously silly supernatural sitcom Ghosts. At first, Ritchie was nervous about joining You. The drama, then three seasons in, was already a colossal hit, adored for its knowingly ludicrous premise, bizarre twists and Badgley's virtuoso portrayal of an apparently empathetic femicidal maniac. On set, Ritchie was impressed by Badgley's ability to segue from 'smart self-awareness' to serial killer mode. 'His eyes go kind of wide and his face goes totally blank and inside I was like: Oh my God, that's so horrifying!' she says. She 'struggled at the beginning of filming – the classic imposter syndrome of coming into something so big'. It didn't help that, upon arriving on set, she 'really felt like nobody knew who I was or what I'd done'. Thankfully, that didn't last. 'I have to say I was really chuffed because Penn got Covid. That's not why I was happy. But he started watching Ghosts and he really loved it. And it was so nice to get to share that with him, because Ghosts is so important to me.' (That said, Ritchie admits she still hasn't seen Gossip Girl, the 00s teen drama that made Badgley's name.) I'm speaking to Ritchie – who is just as friendly, unassuming and mildly awkward as fans might assume – on the day the fifth and final season of You is released. She has decamped to New York for promo, and is currently in a swish hotel room overlooking Central Park. To celebrate the show's swansong, Netflix created an immersive version of Mooney's, the bookstore Joe manages and Kate later buys for him, and whose basement – unbeknown to her – houses a large glass cage used by Joe to entrap his victims. Ritchie didn't get to meet many actual fans at the event – it was an influencer-heavy crowd – but excitedly recalls encountering some devotees in the wild. She was out getting pancakes when she chanced upon a group of girls discussing You. 'It turns out they thought I looked a bit like the girl from the show. And, quite unlike me, I was like: hey, you guys talking about the show? It was so lovely. Actually,' she abruptly puts a lid on such earnest enthusiasm. 'One of them hadn't seen it. I might have ruined their breakfast.' Speculation about the end of You has been rife: would nightmarish 'nice guy' Joe get his just deserts or live happily ever after with Kate, who returns to New York with him and his son Henry at the end of series four? (Critics, it must be said, weren't hugely impressed with the eventual answer.) I won't give away our antihero's fate, but it's no spoiler to say that the show closes with a meta comment on the viewers' complicity in his crimes – after all, we've been lapping up the antics of a murderer for years. Ritchie endorses this take, but only to an extent. 'The best way to shut down a toxic character – or an attention-seeking psychopath – would be to not pay them attention. But just as you think he could have some redemption, he says: well, I guess [the blame is shared] because you guys love me so much. Heaven forbid he just takes responsibility for his actions, and realises we're watching because we want to see him punished.' As for the actual denouement, Ritchie has spent the last year keeping stumm. 'I didn't want to ruin it for people. Like when Dumbledore died in Harry Potter and someone put a big banner on the bridge.' She mentions this as if it's some epochal world event; I have to say I have no idea what she's on about. 'The day after the book came out, someone skim-read it then [made the banner],' she says, still palpably outraged. 'I thought: you suck!' As it happens, Harry Potter was one of the starting blocks for Ritchie's career. As a schoolgirl, she can be spotted sitting behind Harry and Ron in a Hogwarts classroom in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – though she is determined to play down her role as an uncredited extra ('I am student number 4007 and I'm waggling my eyebrows for about five minutes'; when she saw the finished scene she 'thought I really overacted and was pretty ashamed'). Ritchie had become enamoured with acting – particularly of the comic variety – as a child: 'I remember really clearly making someone's grandad in the front row laugh at a sketch I did at primary school and thinking that felt great. And I can't work out if that was an ego boost thing or a control thing.' Was she the funny one among her peers? She makes a face: 'All my friends would say nooo, no.' In fact, Ritchie soon set off on a different path, joining classical girl group All Angels, whose first album became the fastest-selling classical debut in UK chart history. Sixth form saw her ricochet between concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and the O2 and lessons. The juxtaposition was surreal: after an evening on stage she would find herself 'in double history thinking: What?! Did I imagine that?' She didn't mention her showbiz escapades to her friends, having 'learned at a young age that telling hilarious stories about my acting adventures was only really interesting to my mum'. It sounds like an awful lot for a child to handle, yet it's only now that Ritchie is 'beginning to realise that the pace of life I thought was normal in my teens and my 20s was too much. But at the time I was running on adrenaline and I thought anxiety was a sign of doing really well.' At her selective, 'high-pressure' girls' school, Ritchie was a conscientious student, and unsurprisingly these instincts didn't leave her at university. She was cast as Fresh Meat's Oregon – an ordinary girl with an eye-watering determination to appear edgy and cool – in her final year at Bristol. The show was a big deal, but her perfectionist tendencies meant that after a hard day's filming, Ritchie spent her evenings ploughing through her English dissertation. 'Looking back, I do wish I hadn't worked so hard on it. No one's ever asked me what I did or got.' I seize the opportunity. 'It was about how the movement of time manifests in language,' she says, baffled by the brain power of her younger self. 'I don't know how I managed to get that together. And I got a 2.1. I was pretty chuffed.' Despite her excellent performance in Fresh Meat – and the excellence of the show in general (it was, after all, Succession creator Jesse Armstrong and his writing partner Sam Bain's follow-up to Peep Show) – success wasn't immediate. 'I don't even know if I got one job between series one and two. I'd met other actors who had been going to LA to do a pilot season, and I remember asking my agent, should I? And she was very sweetly like: I don't know if this is the right time. You've done one thing.' To the casual observer, however, it looks as if she has been in high demand ever since, with lead roles in sitcoms Siblings and Dead Pixels, a four-series stint in Call the Midwife, an appearance on Taskmaster and cameos in comedies including Stath Lets Flats (she did an Edinburgh fringe sketch show with creator Jamie Demetriou when they were both students). Sign up to What's On Get the best TV reviews, news and features in your inbox every Monday after newsletter promotion While she may feel 'lazier' these days, there is seemingly no let up. Ritchie has just starred alongside Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen in the dystopian fertility drama The Assessment. Next, she's joining Tom Burke and Steve Coogan in Legends, the true story of the UK customs officers who infiltrated drug-dealing gangs in the 1990s. But before all that, she's entering her detective era thanks to ITV thriller Code of Silence. Written by Catherine Moulton, who recently penned twisty hit The Stolen Girl, it follows Ritchie's DS Ashleigh Francis, who enlists Rose Ayling-Ellis's deaf canteen worker to lip-read on an investigation. Getting to run the gamut of police procedural tropes felt 'quite monumental. It was really fun to say things like 'stand down' or use a walkie-talkie.' She frowns at her example. 'That's so basic, I can't believe I said that.' But Ritchie was also keen to prevent her permanently exhausted Francis from becoming a stock character. 'There's details you can put in – I had her eating like a million sweets because she's never slept enough and she's had enough coffee. So there's always a Haribo on the go or some strawberry laces.' If the actor herself is feeling at all worn out, she's hiding it well. She says she feels reinvigorated – partly thanks to her experiences filming You: New York 'ambition and optimism' has rubbed off on her. 'I think I discovered a bit of go-getting in me while I was here. I definitely came back to London with a spark.' Does what she's aiming to go and get stretch beyond her flourishing acting career? 'Actually yes, but if I say it then I won't do it so I'm going to try and do some of it this year and if we speak again I'll tell you …' She sighs at her own obfuscation. 'That sounds so mysterious – basically yes but I haven't quite worked out what it is …' I am left none the wiser, yet also reassured: her time on slick US sets may have given Ritchie a new lease of life, but the bumbling Britishness that has made her one of our comedy queens clearly dies hard. Code of Silence is on ITV1 on 18 May; You is on Netflix now.

Netflix series scores 10,000,000 views in 4 days despite 'worst ending ever'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A Netflix thriller about a misogynistic serial killer has notched up millions of views despite being widely lambasted for its 'derivative' final episode. Viewers are unable to cease watching Penn Badgley's bloodthirsty sex predator Joe Goldberg in the fifth and final season of You, even though it has been accused of having 'the worst ending ever.' The crime drama has scored 10,100,000 views in just four days from its release date on April 24 until April 27, making it the number one TV show in Netflix's global charts, according to its latest data. *Warning this article will now contain spoilers for You season 5 In season 5, Joe returns to New York to play happy families with his billionaire wife Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) and his son Henry (Frankie DeMaio).

But their perfect life is under threat from Kate's sister Raegan (Anna Camp), who has set in motion plans to reveal her dark secret to oust her as CEO of the family firm. Raegan is not the only person who starts undermining Kate and Joe's relationship, though, as the once solid couple are torn apart over their differing views on how to stop her. This rupture leads Joe into the arms of Bronte (Madeline Brewer), a seemingly vulnerable young woman who has fled an abusive relationship to seek refuge in his bookshop Mooney's. Bronte, however, is not who she seems. All this time, she has deliberately cast herself as a damsel in distress to lure Joe into her clutches so that she can enact revenge for the murder of her friend Beck (Elizabeth Lail). In the final scenes, Bronte realises her dream, by shooting Joe's penis off just before he gets arrested to spend the rest of his life behind bars in what has been called a 'clunky and lazy' ending. However, Penn, 38, has since defended You's conclusion, which he described as 'rewarding'. He told Deadline: 'It does become a question of, 'What do we do with people like Joe?' It is a carceral question, a question of justice, of transformative justice as it's referred to sometimes, vengeance, retribution. What is best, not just for Joe, but the person who then has to do it? 'If somebody was to kill him — and it would be a woman, right — well then actually now what you've burdened her with is having committed murder, like that's not just, I don't think. Torture? Uh OK, same thing. Prison? Eh, feels a bit not enough. So what do you do? Take. His. Balls.'

‘You' Season 5 series review: Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg swims gleefully in a crimson tide
After the horrors in the Old Blighty in Season 4, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) has returned home to New York. Told over five seasons and 50 episodes beginning in 2018, You, based on on Caroline Kepnes' book series, tells the story of a well read book store owner, whose endless search for true love invariably ends in murder. Season 5 sees Joe married to the fabulously wealthy Kate (Charlotte Ritchie), who has managed to smooth over all his murderous deeds, bought his beloved bookstore, Mooney's, and got Joe's son, Henry (Frankie DeMaio) back into the family fold. You Season 5 (English) Creator: Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo Cast: Penn Badgley, Charlotte Ritchie, Griffin Matthews, Anna Camp and Madeline Brewer Episodes: 10 Runtime: 45-50 minutes Storyline: Joe Goldberg returns to New York City to live a peaceful life, but the appearance of a woman, Bronte, and the need to satisfy his darkest needs will put his entire life in danger The golden couple are paparazzi darlings and Joe is living a fulfilled life till naturally everything begins to fall apart. Kate is the CEO of the infinitely wealthy and equally shady T.R. Lockwood Corporation. She wants to buy good karma by donating enormous sums of money to charitable causes much to the dismay of board members including her wicked half sister Reagan (Anna Camp). Reagan's twin, Maddy (Camp in a double role) is a thrice divorced socialite, in something that is 'vaguely PR', and the ultimate party girl. Kate's half brother Teddy (Griffin Matthews), who was ignored by the Lockwoods for being born on the wrong side of the blanket, is an ally to Joe and Kate. When family friend Uncle Bob (Michael Dempsey) leaks some damaging information to the media and plots a no-confidence motion against Kate with Reagan, Joe finds his dark side rising to the challenge. Joe writes out his murderous fantasies at Mooney's on a typewriter (pretentious no?) till he does not, which Joe gleefully says is a resurrection and feels fantastic. In the midst of all the uproar at Chez Lockwood, Joe meets a fascinating book thief, or rather borrower, called Bronte (Madeline Brewer). The literary allusions come thick and fast as Joe almost brains Bronte with a bust of Emily Dickinson. Against his better judgement, Joe hires Bronte and gets drawn into her life as a struggling playwright. He also meets Bronte's quirky friends, Clayton (Tom Francis), Dominique (Natasha Behnam) and Phoenix (b). When it rains, it pours and soon Joe is juggling many balls, from Henry attacking Reagan's daughter at school to putting the wrong twin in his reassembled glass cage, all the while fighting the attraction he feels for Bronte. Ghosts from murders past including Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), Marienne (Tati Gabrielle), and Nadia (Amy-Leigh Hickman) refuse to stay buried. Season 5 dabbles with themes and concerns of the books including the distorted truths of social media and romance novels, particularly the romantasy sub-genre. Badgley dives into his 'soft boy misogynist/control hungry goblin' role with gusto even as the 10 episodes fly by in a flurry of great-looking clothes and homes, clichés and scenery-chewing lines with every character, including Joe, getting a fairly satisfactory conclusion to their arcs.
