    Filming Details

    Showrunner Changes

    Significant changes were introduced for the fifth season of You. Sera Gamble, who was involved in the co-creation of the series and served as a show-runner for the first four seasons, stepped down from her role.

    This decision was made because Sera wanted to focus on developing “other” projects. A new show-runner, hence, replaced Sera, in bringing a new perspective to the production.

    A New Creative Direction

    Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo ended up replacing Sera Gamble, taking over as showrunners. Both have been previously involved with the series as executive producers.

    Hence, they were already well-versed in the show’s tone and characters. This leadership change is expected to have brought new creative ideas for the audience to see.
