The man who has played the infamous character for five seasons talks with The Hollywood Reporter about bringing the Netflix series to a close, that intense season finale and displaying Joe as the monster he truly is.

After five seasons, 23 murders, and enough instances of Stockholm syndrome to keep psychiatrists in work for years, Netflix’s YOU has come to a close with Joe Goldberg’s final incarceration. Penn Badgley, you are now finally off the hook.

Although Joe Goldberg doesn’t meet his maker at the end of “You” Season 5, he is the victim of a devastating shot to the groin, which Penn Badgley said takes away his “worst weapon” in a satisfying ending.
