Netflix has dropped the nail-biting trailer for the fifth and final series of You, which stars Penn Badgley as serial killer and stalker, Joe Goldberg. 

In the new clip, Joe returns to New York in the hopes of enjoying his happily ever after – but ghosts from his past are back to haunt him. Watch the trailer below.

Speaking about where we find Joe in the new season, executive producer Justin W. Lo, told Tudum: "We loved the idea of things coming full circle for him. We're excited by the fact that Joe came home as such a different person than [who] we saw in Season 1. At the core of our final story for Joe is this dichotomy of the old and the new."

Season five picks up three years after Joe and Kate (played by Charlotte Ritchie) left London for the big Apple.

With Kate now CEO of the Lockwood Corporation and Joe, her loyal husband, dubbed Prince Charming by the public, they're both "following through on their pact to help each other do good", according to Netflix. 

However, the new trailer hints that longtime followers of Joe's past could be back to bite him. As the final series unfolds, Joe meets a young, spirited playwright named Bronte (Madeline Brewer).
