Why You Season 5's Ending Brings Back That Original Character Explained By Showrunner

You season 5 may have brought a number of familiar faces back for the show’s dramatic conclusion, but one returning character was central to ending Joe Goldberg’s story. Based on the series of novels written by Caroline Kepnes, Netflix’s hit serial killer drama has repeatedly seen Penn Badgley’s homicidal Joe Goldberg escape justice for his many crimes. However, in the You series finale, Joe is finally arrested and tried for his crimes, with Madeline Brewer’s Louise Flannery (aka Bronte), the close friend and former teaching assistant of his season 1 victim, Guinevere Beck, delivering him to justice.
