9 Netflix You season 5 Easter eggs you may have missed
Netflix thriller You has now come to an end following the release of its fifth season, which was packed full of Easter Eggs for fans of the long-running series.
WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for You season five.
You season five brings a thrilling conclusion to the saga of Joe Goldberg, packed with Easter Eggs to delight Netflix subscribers.
For seven years, Netflix has been chronicling the unnerving exploits of "romantic" stalker and serial killer Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) in his relentless quest to find "The One".
In the final season, we see Joe living it up with his new wife Kate Lockwood (played by Charlotte Ritchie) in New York, along with their son Henry.
However, as anticipated, it doesn't take long before his roving eye lands on aspiring author Bronte (Madeline Brewer), setting off a chain of events leading to his downfall.
As Netflix viewers delve into the final 10 episodes of You, here's a breakdown of some interesting facts and hidden Easter Eggs from season five that you might have missed.
You season 5 Easter Eggs and facts
The Three Musketeers
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.

Dame Deborah James' husband finds love again three years after her death
Campaigner Dame Deborah James died three years ago from bowel cancer. Dame Deborah James's widower, Sebastien Bowen, has been reported to be 'very much in love' as he is said to have found love again three years on from the campaiger's death. Dame Deborah tragically passed away in June 2022 after a battle with bowel cancer. Prior to her death, the podcaster was said to have encouraged her husband to 'move on' after her passing. Now three years later, it has been claimed that Sebastien has once again found love as he was seen with a mystery woman enjoying a date during the UK heatwave. Only at the age of 40 at the time of her death, Deborah had been battling an incurable form of bowel cancer and was very outspoken about her journey. While she raised millions for cancer research, she also did not hide the fact that she wanted her husband to move on when she was gone, reports the Mirror. Sebestien was reportedly seen last week to be walking along the River Thames in London hand in hand with a mystery woman. The couple was said to have dined at The River Cafe in Hammersmith, west London, as part of their day out. Seen to be wearing a casual blue shirt, a pair of chinos and trainers, Sebestien was certainly dressed to beat the heat as temperatures soared across the country. His new brunette partner was said to be wearing a striking red dress, perfect for the summer weather. A source told the Daily Mail: "They looked like they were very much in love." They also said the pair was seen to be gazing lovingly at each other as they walked with their arms wrapped around one another. They added: "It was very sweet. For anyone who was inspired by Dame Deborah's attitude to life, it was really heartening to see her husband looking happy again." It was reported last year that Sebestien had started to look for love again, but he was taking things "very slowly". An insider said: "Deborah is going to be a tough act to follow, as they had a fantastic marriage and made a great couple. But Seb feels the time has come for him to move on, as Deborah wanted him to." Known by millions on social media as Bowelbabe, Dame Deborah documented her cancer journey online and managed to raise over £11million for cancer research. As she was upfront and honest about her battle with the incurable disease, it was no surprise she gave the same honesty about wanting her husband to move on. Talking on the BBC Radio 5 Live show You, Me and The Big C, she described her husband as a "very eligible bachelor" and said she was aware that he would get attention from other women after her passing. She said: "I have given him strict instructions. I want him to move on. He's a handsome man, I'm like, 'Don't be taken for a ride, don't marry a bimbo, find someone else who can make you laugh like we did." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

However, while she was encouraging of her widower finding a new love, she also joked that she had a list of people she didn't want him to go on and date. If he did, she joked: "I would do my damned hardest to haunt him." Dame Deborah and Sebestien met in 2005 and went to get married three years later and have two kids. While it is tough for any family to lose a loved one, it seems that Sebestien has been blessed by both his wife and her family to move on. In 2023, Deborah's mum Heather said: "Deborah will be a hard act to follow but he has our blessing."
