You season 5 cast: Full list of confirmed characters for final Netflix season
Penn Badgley is back as Joe Goldberg in the final season of You, but who will be joining him?
We are now fast approaching the fifth and final season of You on Netflix.
The streaming giant has confirmed that the upcoming season has entered production in its original home of New York City, releasing a first-look image of Penn Badgley walking as Joe Goldberg walking down a Manhattan street.
This new season follows on from the ending of season 4 which saw Joe once again reign supreme and get everything he ever wanted - living a life of luxury beside a beautiful and very rich bride in Kate Lockwood (Charlotte Ritchie) and with his identity and narrative celebrated and broadcast to the world.
Of course, it wouldn't be Joe if he didn't develop some creepy new obsessions.
Will this finally be the season where everything unravels for Mr Goldberg?
Here's everything you need to know about who is returning from the season 4 cast and who is a new addition to the You cast for season 5.

Here is what we know about the major characters in You's final season.
Penn Badgley plays Joe Goldberg
Who is Joe Goldberg? Having now lived with multiple identities and moved on from obsessions with Guinevere Beck, Love Quinn, and Marienne Bellamy, Joe is now living a life of luxury as the husband of 1% member Kate and is free to be whoever he wants and enjoy the wealth that comes with that. However, it seems that old habits die hard...
What else has Penn Badgley been in? Badgley is best known for his role as Dan Humphrey in Gossip Girl but has also starred in The Slap, as well as feature films like John Tucker Must Die and Easy A.
Charlotte Ritchie plays Kate Lockwood-Goldberg
Who is Kate Lockwood-Goldberg? Having been Joe's obsession in the fourth season of the series, Kate is now his second wife and is now embracing her status as a scion of the wealthy Lockwood family. However, we know from Joe's experience with first wife Love that he has a wandering eye, so will Kate soon find herself supplanted by a new obsession?
What else has Charlotte Ritchie been in? The English actress is best known for her roles in Ghosts, Fresh Meat, Feel Good, Siblings and Call the Midwife.
Madeline Brewer as Bronte
Who is Bronte? We spy a new obsession that could turn Joe's new luxury lifestyle on its head. Bronte is "an enigmatic and free-spirited playwright who comes to work for Joe Goldberg at his bookstore. As the two connect over literature and loss, she stokes in him a nostalgia for his former self, causing him to question everything his life has become."
What else has Madeline Brewer been in? Brewer is best known for her roles in the hit dramas Orange Is The New Black, Hemlock Grove, and, currently, The Handmaid's Tale. The American actress has also starred in the films Braid, Cam, and The Ultimate Playlist of Noise.
Anna Camp plays Raegan Lockwood
Who is Raegan Lockwood? One of twin Lockwood sisters and Joe's new sister-in-law, 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." It sounds like Raegan will prove a nasty adversary for Joe and even Kate.
What else has Anna Camp been in? Camp is best known for roles in the supernatural television series True Blood and her role in the Pitch Perfect film series. Outside of this, Camp has also had roles in The Help, Vegas, Café Society, Mad Men, and The Good Wife.
Anna Camp plays Maddie Lockwood
Who is Maddie Lockwood? Raegan's twin sister, Maddie "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." Sounds like delicious dual roles for the versatile Anna Camp.
Griffin Matthews plays Teddy Lockwood
Who is Teddy Lockwood? Described as the "snarky yet loyal" brother-in-law of Joe Goldberg, Teddy is "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." It seems that Teddy is the outsider in the Lockwood dynasty and perhaps could be an ally for Joe.
What else has Griffin Matthews been in? The American actor, writer, and director has appeared in series such as She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, Dear White People, The Flight Attendant, The Mentalist, and Torchwood.
