The Final Season of “You” Teases Jenna Ortega's Return.

by - January 03, 2024

 Jenna Ortega's character is officially coming back for the fifth and final season of You on Netflix.During Netflix's Tudum: A Global Fan Event LIVE from São Paulo, Brazil event on Saturday, the streaming platform teased a number of its upcoming shows and movies, including the very popular You. In a video featuring the show's star, Penn Badgley, he speaks to the audience about what's to come in the final season.

But fans will be excited to learn that a familiar face appears in the teaser — Ellie Alves, played by Jenna Ortega.“I've heard you're on the edge of your seats waiting and theorizing about the epic conclusion of You,” Badgley says in the video. “More importantly, you're considering what — or should I say who — Joe will come up against as he finally returns to New York."

The last time we see Ellie is at the end of season 2 when Joe seemingly acts as a hero by giving her money to skip town after she is wrongfully connected to her sister Delilah's disappearance. Of course, Joe's former stalkee-turned-wife, Love, actually killed Delilah. Joe mentions Ellie in season 3 when he says he still sends her money.

After Ellie went into hiding, fans had theories that she would eventually come back and seek revenge for the murder of her sister. But Ortega isn't a fan of that theory and said it “defeats the purpose of Ellie's storyline.”

“Right now we see her as somebody who's incredibly hurt and has been screwed over and kind of got the worst of the worst — to bring her back and make her a murderer like Joe defeats the purpose because that's not her character and that's not in her heart,” Ortega said in 2020. “It takes away from her innocence and it takes away from that fear factor that she has of being a teenage girl involved with this psycho serial killer, Joe.”
