Penn Badgley opens up about ‘You’ finale – and why he’s glad it’s over

Penn Badgley opens up about the fifth and final season of Netflix’s hit series You, his mixed feelings about saying goodbye to Joe Goldberg, and why he won’t be playing a serial killer again anytime soon.

Badgley reflects on the intense physical and emotional demands of playing a psychopath, and the aspects of the character he’s more than ready to leave behind.

He also shares some of the most unhinged — and at times unsettling — fan reactions the show has sparked, and some of the more memorable interactions he’s had since the series first began.
