Netflix Enlists Cardi B to Premiere First Trailer for ‘You’ Season 5: “Y’all Gonna Gag”
Netflix has pulled out all the stops to hype up the highly anticipated fifth and final season of You, and this time, they’ve enlisted none other than rap superstar Cardi B to deliver the first sneak peek.
The Grammy-winning rapper took to her social media platforms to unveil the exclusive teaser for the hit psychological thriller, sending fans into a frenzy with her signature energy and flair. “Y’all gonna gag when you see this,” Cardi teased in the video, before launching into an animated breakdown of what’s in store for Joe Goldberg’s final chapter.
Cardi B’s Connection to ‘You’
Cardi B’s involvement in the promo campaign comes as no surprise to longtime fans of both the rapper and the series. The Bronx native has been a vocal fan of You since its early seasons, often tweeting about her obsession with Penn Badgley’s chilling yet oddly charismatic portrayal of Joe Goldberg.
Her admiration even led to a viral moment back in 2021 when Badgley himself acknowledged her love for the show, resulting in a hilarious and unexpected social media friendship between the two. Netflix, never one to miss an opportunity for viral marketing, capitalized on the moment by teasing a possible Cardi cameo in the series—though it remains unclear whether she will actually appear in season five.
What the Trailer Reveals
While Cardi B didn’t spill too many details, the first official teaser offers a chilling look at what’s ahead for Joe Goldberg. Season four ended with Joe fully embracing his dark side once again, returning to New York with Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) and using her vast wealth and influence to shield himself from consequences. The final season is set to bring Joe full circle, as he navigates old haunts and potentially comes face-to-face with the ghosts of his past.
Netflix has remained tight-lipped about specific plot points, but showrunner Sera Gamble previously hinted that Joe’s story would reach a fitting and shocking conclusion. “This season, everything Joe has done comes back to haunt him,” Gamble stated. “It’s going to be an ending that fans will never forget.”
Fans React to the Cardi B Collab
Following the teaser’s release, social media exploded with reactions from both You enthusiasts and Cardi B’s loyal fanbase. Many praised Netflix for the unexpected collaboration, while others speculated about whether Cardi would make a surprise appearance in the show’s final season.
“I need Cardi B in You, even if it’s just her looking at Joe and saying ‘Uh uh, not today,’” one fan joked on X (formerly Twitter).
“Netflix is WILD for this, but I’m here for it,” another wrote.
The Countdown to the Final Season Begins
With Netflix ramping up its promotional campaign, anticipation for You season five is at an all-time high. While an official release date has yet to be announced, fans can expect the final season to drop later in 2025.
One thing is for sure—if Cardi B says You is about to leave us all gagged, we better be ready.
