Inside Netflix You season 5 Easter Eggs and what went on behind-the-scenes

WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for You season five. The final chapter of Joe Goldberg's twisted tale unfolds in You season five, peppered with Easter Eggs to delight dedicated viewers. For seven years, Netflix has chronicled the chilling escapades of "romantic" stalker and serial killer Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) on his obsessive quest to find "The One". In its fifth and concluding season, You finds Joe enjoying life with his new spouse Kate Lockwood (played by Charlotte Ritchie) and their son Henry in the bustling streets of New York. However, true to form, it isn't long before Joe's roving eye lands on budding writer Bronte (Madeline Brewer), triggering a series of events that lead to his undoing. As fans delve into the final 10 episodes of You, here are some hidden tidbits and fascinating Easter Eggs from season five that might have escaped your notice. You season 5 Easter Eggs and facts The Three Musketeers You season five: Joe Goldberg gave his son Henry a copy of The Three Musketeers, the same book that Paco was reading in season one. (Image: NETFLIX) Joe is thrilled to see his son Henry developing a passion for books and gives him a copy of The Three Musketeers. This is a nod to the very first season of You, where the young Paco (Luca Padovan) is engrossed in the same novel when he first encounters Joe. Maddie's husbands You season five: Pictures of Maddie's ex-husbands are of members of the crew as well as co-showrunner Michael Foley as her late astronaut husband. (Image: NETFLIX) In the opening episode, we're introduced to one of Kate's siblings, Maddie Lockwood (Anna Camp), a scatterbrained socialite with a history of three marriages. A close-up shot of her social media reveals that her three ex-husbands are portrayed by members of the You crew, and her late astronaut husband is actually co-showrunner Michael Foley. Penn Badgley's real-life partner Actor Penn Badgley is married to singer Domino Kirke. (Image: GETTY) While Joe's love life has been tumultuous, Penn Badgley has found stability with his wife, singer Domino Kirke, whom he married in 2017. Kirke's talents are also featured in the show, as her song "Teething" is played in episode eight. Catfish clue In episode five, it's revealed that Bronte has been catfishing Joe all along. A subtle hint is dropped earlier in the episode when Joe visits the diner, which has "catfish" listed as one of its daily specials, foreshadowing the twist to come. Mooney's bookstore The exterior shots of Mooney's bookstore were filmed at Logos Book Store in Manhattan . However, a replica of the façade was rebuilt at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to facilitate the dramatic burning-down scene in the penultimate episode. Love's prophecy You season five: Joe Goldberg's first wife Love Quinn predicted that their son Henry would come to know who he really is, a "monster". (Image: NETFLIX) In a previous season, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) predicted that her son would eventually discover the truth about his father. This prophecy comes to pass in the final episode when Henry tells his father that he's a "monster". Dual roles Anna Camp played twin sisters Raegan and Maddie Lockwood in season five. Interestingly, Camp also had a body double who appeared as the podcaster interviewing Dominique (Natasha Behnam) and Phoenix (b) in episode 10. Henrik Ibsen Henrik Ibsen In the opening episode of season five, Bronte confesses to Joe that she snuck into Mooney's to snag a book by Henrik Ibsen. This revelation later connects to her hypothesis that Beck's (Elizabeth Lail) posthumously published novel, The Dark Face Of Love, was edited by Joe. The connection is made when "Beck" in the novel makes a reference to Ibsen, an author Bronte is certain her friend did not admire. Full circle On the directorial front, Lee Toland Krieger, who helmed the pilot episode of You, made his return to the popular Netflix series to direct the final episode. You is available to watch on Netflix.
