The fifth season of the series «You» was released on Netflix on April 24, 2025, and now, as Joe Goldberg’s (Penn Badgley) story comes to an end, fans are asking if one star will return: Jenna Ortega. The actress from the series «Wednesday» has been very busy in recent years, and due to scheduling conflicts, she was unable to return to her role as Ellie in «You» after the second season. Has this changed by the fifth season?
Find out below if Jenna returned to play Ellie in the fifth season of «You». (Warning: spoilers ahead for the fifth season of «You»)
Jenna was first introduced to «You» fans in the second season of the series. She played the role of Ellie Alves, Delilah’s teenager.
During an interview with Complex magazine in March 2022, Jenna talked about how she was cast in «You» and how, being a Latin American actress, she felt that people began to see her «in a different light».
«Often, being a child actor, especially a Latin American one, I was hired to play someone’s daughter or a younger version of someone, and usually they were white actresses», - Jenna noted. «I remember at one point being very disappointed. But after projects like 'You' on Netflix and others, where I think people started to see me in an older age or in a different light, I started to get more opportunities».
The Netflix actress added that her «biggest fear» is that she «never wanted to be boxed in».
«I never want to be seen as just one thing», - Jenna said. «So, if I can do as many projects as possible or if all my projects don’t look like each other, that would be really cool».
Russh reported on April 24, 2025, that Jenna was in the fifth season of «You».
Joe Goldberg spends his remaining time in prison in the final scene of «You». In the voiceover, viewers hear him say, «So in the end, my punishment is even worse than I thought. Loneliness, oh god. Loneliness. No hope of a hug. Knowing it’s forever. It’s unfair. All of this was laid on me. Aren’t we all products of our environment? Hurt people hurt people. I never had a chance».
Reading a letter from a fan behind bars, Joe’s voiceover then tells viewers, «Maybe we have a problem as a society. Maybe we should fix what’s broken in us. Maybe the problem isn’t in me. Maybe it’s in you».
In addition to Joe’s fate, his wife Love (Charlotte Ritchie) survived the fire and decided to help Marianne’s career. Her brother, Teddy, in turn, transformed the Lockwood corporation into a non-profit organization
