Richie has been spotted on the set and their characters have been filmed kissing.
In the London-based season of the show she played an art director who hangs out with the wealthy set Joe has found himself entangled with.
At the end of season four, Kate was the one who found him an escape route and a way to reclaim his true identity.
Season five of the thriller series moves back to Manhattan, where it all began back in season one.
The tables have been turned on Joe in a way, as now he must try and avoid the attention of a serial killer.
The series debuted in 2018 on Lifetime and is based on the You series of books by author Caroline Kepner.
In season one, Joe worked in a bookstore and fell for NYU grad student and writer Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), at least until she met her untimely end.
The second season moved to Netflix, where it has stayed ever since, and found Joe living in Los Angeles as a bookstore employee, now going under the name Will Bettelheim, who falls for heiress and health guru Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti).
The third season found Joe/Will buying a house, marrying Love and having a child with her…though he still found himself obsessed with two new women.

The fourth season found Joe/Will moving to London under the alias Jonathan Moore, as an English professor who finds himself entangled with high society.
Production of season five started earlier this year and follows a number of recent casting announcements from earlier this month.
Madeline Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale) has signed on to play Bronte, Joe’s latest target who is described as, ‘an enigmatic and free-spirited playwright who comes to work for Joe at his bookstore.’
They both connect, ‘over literature and loss,’ which ‘stokes in him a nostalgia for his former self, causing him to question everything his life has become.’
