'You' showrunners reveal what Jenna Ortega's return in the final season would have looked like

There was also a scrapped storyline where the character would have been "a benefactor to Dominique and Phoenix" with Foley explaining, "That was a thought that I'm sure when we were putting things together, we felt like maybe we could make this work, and we just simply couldn't."

As for the rest of the montage with past cast members, Lo said he thinks they got "mostly everyone that they wanted," expressing, "We did this thing in the writer's room where we put a list of people who would be pro-Joe, against Joe, and sort of neutral, and then we brainstormed what they would be saying about him. One of our favorites was Paco, of course, because Paco is pro-Joe, but what he says ends up screwing Joe over in a major way. So, that was one of our favorite discoveries."

Lo further told Gold Derby that the idea was for Joe's past victims to "put him on some kind of trial; to tell them, in their words, what he did to them; to try to hold him to account; to see if he would change."

One character that fans were happy to see return was Guinevere Beck, portrayed by Elizabeth Lail, who was murdered at the end of the first season. 

"The Beck storyline always brings tears to my eyes because it is so deep. And I say that Beck really got a raw deal in season one and she didn't do anything to deserve what she got. And she has been that symbol of innocence that got marred this whole series, really," Lo said. "So, it felt fitting to be able to give her justice. And that's why I think that the connection to Bronte was so powerful. You can feel it all through the season as soon as we learn the connection between them in that fifth episode."

As for Lail, she "loved it," Lo commented. "She was so excited to be part of the final season and she loves this character, too. So it was very meaningful for her to be able to be such a big part of the end of Joe Goldberg's story."

The killer finale of You is now streaming on Netflix.
