It has been over a year since we saw Joe Goldberg darting around the streets of London at an impressive speed in You season 4. Back in February 2023, the romanticised murderer was attempting to carve out a new life for himself in the Big Smoke. Away from the trail of bloodshed in the US, he was all tweed waistcoats and floppy hair, teaching at a university and hanging out with boujee city kids at swanky bars.
However, his bubble of British calm burst fairly quickly. By the end of the season, Joe had fully realised and accepted the violent alter-ego at his core and relocated to the US with his wealthy heiress girlfriend, Kate. In the closing scene, it seems as though they've become something of a power couple - although the nature of that power is yet to be confirmed, leaving the storyline for You season 5 open. Is Joe going to get away with his ever-growing list of criminal offences forever? Will Kate keep him on the straight and narrow? Can Love Quinn please make an EastEnders-style nonsensical return from the dead?
