Joe wonât be returning to London in You season five.
The end of season three saw Joe in Paris, and season four takes place entirely in London. That is, until the very end. In the fourth seasonâs shocking finale, Joe and his new paramourâKate, played by Charlotte Ritchieâmove to New York so that Kate can take over her fatherâs business there.
As cocreator and showrunner Sera Gamble explained to The Cut, âWe always knew we wanted him to go back to New York, have a homecoming, have his real name, shave his beard, and look like Joe Classic, but that he would be much more in the category of people he used to watch from afar. Now he has near unlimited resources. He has the support of powerful people and he has a lot less ambivalence about what he does in private. So thatâs the setup.â
