Although actor Penn Badgley wasn't present at the event, he dropped some breadcrumbs about the fifth and final season of YOU in a pre-recorded message. Badgely said that the protagonist, Joe Goldberg, will return to New York City (where it all began) and promised an "epic conclusion" as "many loose ends from Joe's past" will come together in the series finale.
