'You' finale: showrunners Justin Lo and Michael Foley break down the Season 5 series ending—where Joe Goldberg ends up, Penn Badgley's influence, Cardi B.

In the series finale of Netflix’s stalker-rom-com-thriller “You,” Joe, Penn Badgley ‘s charismatic serial killer, gets his long-overdue comeuppance at the hands of his former victims, who join forces to put him behind bars once and for all. But just as it seems like he’s put his old ways in the rearview mirror, Joe’s world is upended as he meets Bronte (Madeline Brewer) a beautiful young woman attempting to break into his bookstore. Ahead of the “You” series finale, Variety spoke with co-showrunners Justin Lo and Michael Foley about why Beck is so important to Season 5, the inspiration behind Joe’s literary tastes and how the writers’ room found the right ending for a killer we love to hate.
