Joe is thrilled to see his son Henry developing a love for reading, so he gives him a copy of The Three Musketeers.

This harks back to the very first season of You, where troubled youngster Paco (Luca Padovan) is seen reading the same book when he first encounters Joe.

Maddie's husbands

In the opening episode, viewers are introduced to one of Kate's sisters, Maddie Lockwood (Anna Camp), a scatterbrained socialite who has been married three times before.

In a close-up of her social media, it's revealed that her three ex-husbands are portrayed by members of the You crew and her late astronaut husband is actually co-showrunner Michael Foley.

Penn Badgley's wife

While Joe has always had difficulty finding his soulmate, actor Penn Badgley, who plays him, has been happily married to singer Domino Kirke since 2017.

She also contributes behind the scenes as her song 'Teething', both written and performed by Kirke, features in episode eight.

Catfish

A shocking revelation in episode five discloses that Bronte has been catfishing Joe all along.

Midway through the episode, Joe approaches a diner displaying its daily specials, one of which is "catfish", foreshadowing the upcoming twist.

Mooney's

The exterior shots of Mooney's bookstore are filmed at Logos Book Store in Manhattan, but a replica was constructed at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the dramatic burning scene in the penultimate episode.

Love's prediction

Joe's first wife Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) ominously predicted as she lay dying that their son would discover his father's true nature.

This prophecy comes to fruition in the final episode of You when Henry labels his dad a "monster".

Body double

Anna Camp pulls double duty in season five, playing twin sisters Raegan and Maddie Lockwood.

However, she also had a body double who took on the role of the podcaster interviewing Dominique (Natasha Behnam) and Phoenix (b) in episode 10.

Henrik Ibsen

In the first episode of season five, Bronte reveals to Joe that she broke into Mooney's to borrow a book by Henrik Ibsen.

Later, it is revealed that this ties in with her theory that Beck's (Elizabeth Lail) posthumously released book, The Dark Face Of Love, was edited by Joe.

This suspicion arises from a reference to Ibsen in the book, an author Bronte knows Beck didn't appreciate.

Director

The director of You's pilot episode, Lee Toland Krieger, made a comeback to the popular Netflix series to direct the finale.

You is available to watch on Netflix.
