Penn Badgley Suggests You Season 5 Could Be Its “Grand Finale”

“It has to go to this place for five episodes where it’s like, ‘Is he going to become a hero as we’ve all wanted him to?’ It doesn’t make any sense when Joe becomes a hero,” he admitted. “This is the only place the show could have ever gone and remain relevant, remain responsible, remain intelligent, remain sensitive, but true.”

Badgley added of season four, “The whole thing has been building towards seeing Joe in a different light, truly, which we’ve never ever done before.”
