Is there a 4th season for You?

There is, in fact, a fourth season of You that is available for global streaming on Netflix. The creators and even the protagonist of the show have exclaimed that the fourth season takes the viewers along a ride, one that will leave them on the edge of their seats wondering what happens next.

Penn Badgley, who plays the character of Joe Goldberg, exclaimed that the ending of the fourth season gives the audience a clear idea of the fact that Joe isn’t a positive character on the show.

With Season 4 out and streaming, the audience is now left wondering whether the show will be renewed with a fifth season shortly.

Is ‘You’ Season 5 confirmed?

“You” has already been renewed and confirmed for its fifth season. However, we have some disappointing news for the fans. The fifth season is the final one of the show.

So, if you have been badly awaiting the last season and wondering what happens next, we’d suggest you hold onto your horses and remain patient because the production is underway and we are most likely getting further news about the official release sometime soon.

Until then, bookmark this webpage and wait for some time because we’ll update you with all the latest information.

Is Joe Goldberg a psychopath?

If this is your first time watching You and you are sitting there wondering what is Joe’s problem, well it looks like there is a clear representation of a mental illness in the show.

Psychologists who have watched the show have reported that Joe Goldberg shows typical signs of antisocial personality disorder. Whether or not that’s the kind of diagnosis the creators of the show were going for remains a mystery.

Some of the viewers even believe that Joe might showcase signs of narcissistic personality disorder, so that’s another thing we’d have to pay close attention to.

Conclusion

‘You’ was unanimously received well for its unique story and characters. The second season of the series concluded with a major storyline, in which Joe Goldberg was seen obsessing over his neighbor, despite ‘Love’ pregnant with his child. Fans of ‘You’ can’t wait for the series’ third season and it’s major twists. Fingers are crossed!
