Here are seven hidden easter eggs you definitely missed in season five of YOU

The secret meaning of the restaurant special is brilliant


Netflix’s YOU is back for the final time with season five, and there were loads of easter eggs you missed throughout the 10 episodes.

In the series, Joe Goldberg returns to New York City to live a normal life with his wife Kate and son Henry, but it all goes wrong when a woman called Bronte catches his attention.

There were so many twists and turns throughout season five that I bet you didn’t even have time to notice these nine hidden details.

The book Joe gives Henry

In episode seven, Joe is happy to find out that his son Henry has taken on his love for reading and gifts him a copy of the Three Musketeers to take home. That’s the same book that Paco was reading in season one when he first meets Penn Badgley’s character.

The restaurant’s menu special

When Joe goes to the restaurant in episode five, it says one of the daily specials is “catfish”. We later find out that Bronte was catfishing Joe all along, and the clever sign was actually foreshadowing this.

Maddie’s three husbands

Socialite Maddie Lockwood had been married three times before and pictures of her husbands on her social media reveal they were all members of the YOU crew. Most importantly, her late astronaut husband is co-showrunner Michael Foley.

Love’s scary prediction

When Love was dying, she predicted their son Henry would find out what his dad is really like one day. This came true during the ending when the child called his dad a “monster” during the phone call.

The Nirvana store

Next to the Mooney’s bookstore is a shop called “Nirvana” which is the opposite of the luxury supermarket in season two called “Anavrin”. It’s the word “Nirvana” spelled backwards, as Joe pointed out in the original season!

Penn Badgley’s real wife

In real life, Penn Badgley is married to and currently expecting twins with singer Domino Kirke, and she has a small part in episode eight as her song Teething features in one of the scenes.

The Henrik Ibsen book

When Bronte breaks into the book shop, she tells Joe she did it to borrow a book by Henrik Ibsen, which later links to her realising Joe edited Beck’s book The Dark Face Of Love. It was his reference to Ibsen in the writing that made her suspicious.
