Madeline Brewer is not any stranger to dark, twisty roles (hello, The Handmaid’s Tale), but moving into You season 5? That’s a complete latest level of chaos. Brewer is joining the ultimate season of Netflix’s favorite stalker-thriller as Bronte, a free-spirited playwright who waltzes into Joe Goldberg’s bookstore and, probably unknowingly, right into his emotionally deranged orbit. Fans are already sharpening their pitchforks, or falling in love. There’s no in-between.
And Brewer? She knows what’s coming. She’s bracing for the backlash and totally ready for the love-hate storm that comes with being Joe’s latest “fixation.” Whether Bronte finally ends up a femme fatale, a tragic goal, or the rare soul who makes it out alive (lol, good luck), viewers are in for a wild final ride. If Joe Goldberg is the human embodiment of a walking red flag, Bronte might just be the quirky, chaotic flame drawn to it. Buckle up, You-niacs, this final season goes to be messy.
Madeline Brewer on YOU’s Recent Character Backlash
Madeline Brewer knows exactly what type of storm she’s walking into with You season 5, and she or he’s already packing an emotional umbrella. In a delightfully candid chat with Vanity Fair, Brewer opened up concerning the inevitable chaos that comes with playing Bronte, the most recent quirky-yet-suspiciously-Joe-Goldberg-compatible character on the Netflix thriller’s swan song season, dropping April 24.
In response to her, fans are either going to “like to hate her, or hate to like her,” and truthfully? She’s already planning to hit the eject button on Instagram when all of it goes down.
“If which means I’m not on Instagram for some time, that’s fantastic,” Brewer said, casually juggling impending fame backlash prefer it’s just one other item on her to-do list. “Because I even have a marriage to plan. And a Nietzsche class to complete. I got other s** to do.*” Iconic energy, really.
Nevertheless it gets higher. Brewer also identified the wild irony in fans potentially turning on Bronte, despite the incontrovertible fact that Joe is literally a serial killer. “Yeah, we all know you’re in love with that serial killer guy from Netflix. Go to therapy. Work out why that’s,” she quipped, sounding like every group chat moderator who’s ever needed to rein in a Joe apologist.
She’s not unsuitable. You has all the time been a guilty pleasure wrapped in a psychological horror story, and Bronte’s arrival is certain to stir the pot. Whether she becomes a fan-favorite or the web’s next scapegoat, Brewer’s embracing the mayhem with Nietzsche-level clarity, and a killer humorousness.
When will YOU Season 5 Release?
Mark your calendars and lock your glass cages, You season 5 is officially arriving on April 24, 2025, and Joe Goldberg is back to destroy lives with charm, sweaters, and doubtless a fresh murder playlist. After 4 seasons of poetic voiceovers, impulsive killing sprees, and disturbingly relatable inner monologues, the ultimate chapter is poised to be the blood-splattered cherry on top.
Netflix initially had fans guessing if Joe would return in 2024, but after wrapping filming in August, the streamer made us all wait (classic Joe behavior). Fortunately, the wait’s almost over, and this time, Joe’s got billions, a bookstore, and a borderline Shakespearean ego. He’s traded in barista suggestions and stolen identities for top society soirées and sinister power plays.
But let’s be real, Joe in Recent York again? That’s like putting a fox back within the henhouse with a library card. Throw in a fiery latest muse (hi Bronte), a determined detective, and ghosts of girlfriends past, and we’re in for a delicious descent into madness.
So sharpen your knives, uh, I mean theories, and prepare to say goodbye to Netflix’s favorite walking red flag. Joe’s final chapter begins April 24.
