After what feels like an eternity of waiting, Netflix viewers have finally been given the latest update on the upcoming season of You, with a teaser trailer that's just been released.
The hit thriller series, fronted by Penn Badgley, first hit our screens yonks back in 2018, and we've been treated to four gripping seasons since.
The most recent season that Netflix users have been able to sink their teeth into premiered two years back in 2023, so it's clear we're overdue for an update on the sinister Joe Goldberg. Check out the teaser trailer here:

All 10 episodes of the thriller’s final season will premiere later this year (24 April).
"Every season they manage to find new space to make it interesting and relevant," Badgley, who stars as main character Joe Goldberg, previously told Tudum. "And this season, I think somehow coming back to where it started allowed for it to just become grounded in the way that it needs to also have this kind of spectacular finish."
In the upcoming season, Joe returns to New York to enjoy his happily ever after… until his perfect life is threatened by the ghosts of his past and his own dark desires.
"We always said that we would stop after five and [that], in a perfect world, we would bring Joe back home to New York," executive producer Michael Foley explained.
"We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We’re excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than [who] we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new."
As the season unfolds, Joe will not only cross paths with a young woman, played by Madeline Brewer, who makes him reconsider his affluent life, but will also contend with his wife Kate’s siblings.
Badgley also previously teased at Tudum: A Global Fan Event that a familiar face from Joe’s past will come back to haunt him in season five saying: "There are many loose ends in Joe’s past."
You fans have rushed to social media to share their excitement over the upcoming season with one X user writing: "Can’t wait to develop an unhinged personality again."
A second chimed in: "Oh how I’ve missed…YOU!"
"I WILL BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT," exclaimed a final X user.
You season five will be available to stream on Netflix later this year (24 April).
