The final season of You is almost here and Netflix has dropped an exciting update for Joe Goldberg enthusiasts.
While fans will question why their favourite TV show is coming to an end, executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter sadly insisted that they 'always conceived it as a five-season journey'.
For those who haven't caught up or ever watched the show, spoilers ahead.

Last season, Joe (Penn Badgley) relocated to London to start over as college professor Jonathan Moor after faking his death.
At the end of season four, the anti-hero who kills for love, finally accepted he is not a good man.
And as the series reached its conclusion, fans will remember that Joe returned to New York City with his wealthy partner, Kate (Charlotte Ritchie).
Now, on Monday (25 March), Netflix announced that the fifth and final season has officially entered production, along with a couple of big changes to Penn Badgley's character.
Netflix has since shared a picture of a clean-shaved Goldberg walking around the streets of NYC, where his story began.
We also know that season five will introduce Joe’s new extended family, Griffin Matthews will play the brother of Joe’s new wife Kate, as Madeline Brewer stars as a young woman who makes Joe reconsider his new life.
Surprisingly, ahead of the new season, executive producer Sera Gamble, who created You with Berlanti, has announced she is stepping down.
“As I step back from day-to-day showrunning to focus on new projects, I’m immensely grateful to co-creator and all-around genius Greg Berlanti, Caroline Kepnes, my friends at Berlanti Productions and Alloy Entertainment, and our steadfast partners at Warner Bros and Netflix,” she said.
“Making the show alongside our writers, producers, directors, cast and crew has been an honor and ridiculously fun.
“And I feel lucky to have worked with an artist as gifted and thoughtful as Penn Badgely.
“I’m proud of what we’ve all accomplished and feel privileged to pass the torch.
“I’m excited to watch and support the You team as they bring Joe Goldberg’s journey to its delightfully twisted conclusion.”
Berlanti and Schechter thanked Gamble for her contribution, as their statement read: “We are so incredibly grateful to Netflix and Sera and everyone that has been a part of this show from the beginning.
“Sera is the most brilliant writer and partner and she will remain a key part of the You family as an executive producer.
“We intend to bring her every idea we can from our company for years to come."
They added: “Working with Greg and Sera on You has been a highlight of our careers and we’re incredibly honored to be entrusted with the final chapter of Joe Goldberg’s story.”
