"You" Season 4 Is Just Around The Corner, So Here's Everything You Need To Know Ahead Of The New Season

New city, same creepy, murderous Joe.

You Season 4 is only a few short weeks away, and along with it more of Joe Goldberg's penchant for stalking and murder.

Lifetime

He will continue to be a little creep, but that won't stop us from tuning in and being fascinated and horrified by him in equal measure.

Lifetime

He's not sorry.

Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming season:

🚨SPOILER WARNING🚨 for the Seasons 1-3 of You.

1. Despite Joe's presence in Paris at the end of Season 3, the new season was actually filmed and will be set in London.

Netflix

"To be real, it's cheaper," admitted Penn Badgley in an interview. That said, there could still be some scenes set in Paris, according to ET. 

2. Netflix released a trailer for the new season, and it really seems like the show is reinventing itself yet again, starting with the fact that Joe will have A STALKER OF HIS OWN. TAKE THAT, JOE.

Netflix

3. Joe will fall in with a group of "the most insane, damaged people on Earth," who are part of the uber-wealthy London elite.

Netflix

4. This season will also introduce the "Eat the Rich" Killer, who seems to be targeting members of Joe's newest friend group. Joe will try to investigate this person despite being warned not to play "shitty Sherlock."

Murders NOT committed by someone with the last name Goldberg?? Say it ain't so.

5. As for Joe's stalker, it would appear to be someone who knows about most, if not all, of Joe Goldberg's crimes throughout the series. They leave him this lovely collection of headlines, like a murder scrapbook.

So you don't have to squint, here are the events mentioned in the headlines: 

-Forty's death at the hands of the LAPD (Season 2)

-Joe and Love's supposed murder-suicide in Madre Linda (Season 3)

-Natalie's disappearance (Season 3)

-Beck's murder, supposedly at the hands of her therapist (Season 1)

-Henderson's death (Season 2)

-Peach's supposed suicide (Season 1)

-Sherry and Cary's kidnapping and subsequent escape from the glass box (Season 3)

-Delilah and Ellie's disappearance (Season 2)

-Ryan Goodwin's murder (Season 3)

-Benji's disappearance (Season 1)

There's also an article that implicates Forty in Henderson's murder and another one that calls Love a serial killer. Whoever this is, they've clearly done their research on Joe and figured out his connection to all these crimes. 

6. Joe's newest fake name will be Professor Jonathan Moore, even though the final scene of Season 3 saw him going by Nick. He will also sport a beard and longer hair as a ~disguise~.

Netflix

Maybe if Joe pursued his true passion (acting, clearly), he'd stop murdering people.

7. Tati Gabrielle will be back as Marienne, over whom Joe is still obsessing if the trailer is anything to go by.

“I really would love to see her foil Joe,” Gabrielle said about her hopes for her character. “On one hand, I would love to see her foil Joe, and then, on the other hand, I’d love to see what it could be like for Marienne to just have a good life. She struggled for so long.” 

Joe is obviously not going to leave this poor woman alone, but hopefully she can outsmart him now that she's somewhat aware of his deadly obsessive tendencies.

8. Victoria Pedretti won't be back as of now.

"As far as I know, she's dead," said the actor behind Love Quinn Goldberg. She is, however, open to the idea of coming back for a flashback. Personally, I'd love to see her haunting Joe.

9. Season 4 will be the first season of You to be released in parts, with Part 1 dropping on Feb. 9 and Part 2 following on March 9.

10. Penn Badgley will be directing at least one episode of Season 4, as confirmed by co-creator and EP Sera Gamble on Instagram.

11. Charlotte Ritchie will be playing the main role of Kate, along with Tilly Keeper as Kate's best friend Phoebe.

Netflix

Here's the character description according to Deadline: 

"She’s smart, independent, suspicious, misses nothing. She is fiercely loyal to her friends, a brick wall to everyone else. The daughter of a chaotic, bohemian single mother, Kate worked hard to create the life she now leads. She’s an art gallery director whose job means managing tempestuous artists. Kate tends to be 'the adult in the room,' and has embraced the moniker of 'icy bitch.' 

She’s especially protective of best friend Lady Phoebe (Tilly Keeper), a sweet and trusting person whose extreme wealth and fame tend to attract opportunists. Kate prefers 'arrangements' to love, which is why she dates fun but self-centered partier Malcolm (Stephen Hagan). When Malcolm invites Joe (Badgley), an American outsider of no apparent means, into their privileged world, Kate not only immediately dislikes him, she strongly suspects something about the man is not what he seems."

Based on the trailer, Joe's new apartment will be in the same building as Kate's. Whether that's a coincidence or due to Joe being a gross stalker remains to be seen. 

12. Whatever Kate's initial impression of Joe might be, it's clear things will get cozier between the two as the season progresses.

Netflix

I can't wait to think they make a cute couple before I remind myself that Joe is the worst and start yelling at Kate to stay away from him.

13. Here's a rundown of all the other new characters, most of whom are part of the new "circle of privileged douchebags" that Joe infiltrates:

Netflix

Amy-Leigh Hickman as Nadia, a literature student and aspiring author whose bold personality covers up hidden insecurities. She doesn't seem to be part of Joe's new social group, but rather one of his students.

Ed Speleers as Rhys, an eccentric author and politician who escaped his traumatic upbringing when he came into money and attended Oxford.

Lukas Gage as Adam, a US ex-pat whose family is incredibly rich and influential. A habitual partier and gambler, Adam is hiding a lot under his fun exterior.

Niccy Lin as Sophie, a Kim Kardashian–like influencer and entrepreneur who is very protective of her brother, Simon.

Aidan Cheng as Simon, Sophie's brother who did not go into the family tech business and became an acclaimed artist instead.

Eve Austin as Gemma, a wealthy member of Kate and Phoebe's friend group who is fun to party with but completely lacks empathy for anybody outside of her privileged circle.

Dario Coates as Connie, another member of the group whose wealth and privilege have helped him avoid consequences his whole life.

Ozioma Whenu as Blessing, a cryptocurrency investor with several post-graduate degrees whose risk-taking tendencies come from believing that we're all living in a simulation.

14. Penn Badgley teased "a different format" to this season, which could mean literally anything.

Netflix

"The tone is similar but it's shifting in that there is a different format. We're using a different format," he said to ET. "It's almost like we're shifting the genre slightly. And I think it works."

This could just be referring Joe's new stalker, but it could also have to do with the fact that the longer he remains at large, the more chances there are for his past to catch up with him.

It wouldn't be entirely surprising if the stalker was Marienne, since she's one of the only characters who knows about Joe's previous life and hasn't been killed by him. She's also onto him after Love's warning at the end of Season 3. 

Penn could also be referring to Joe/Jonathan's relationship to Kate, which seems like it might have an enemies-to-lovers dynamic that the show hasn't seen before.

There's also Ellie (Jenna Ortega) from Season 2, who knows Joe killed Henderson and had something to do with Delilah's disappearance. Joe was sending her money throughout Season 3, but it's unclear how he'll keep doing that now that he's supposedly dead.

15. Finally, while it's not likely that we'll see baby Henry this season, Season 4 might explore Joe's feelings regarding abandoning his son.

"That's going to be an ongoing conversation, because no, you can't pretend something that huge about a character didn't happen," Gamble said. "I think it will shape him from this moment forward." 

Are you looking forward to You Season 4?
