You' Season 4

But the breakneck speed of this season — on an already marathonable show — does warrant some unease: This season feels like You is racing toward the emotional climax of Joe’s story. The genius of You has always been knowing when and how to subvert genre to make it exponentially more compelling. All of Joe’s previous indiscretions (bodies) start to catch up to him when he’s targeted by the hottest new serial killer on the block, the Eat the Rich Killer. And regardless of where you end up placing your bets, it’s just straight-up satisfying to see Joe bested repeatedly, a loving reminder the noose is always tightening. The absolute best change of the season, however, is when You fully embraces a genre shift by diving headfirst into murder mystery tropes. To be clear, this is a nonsexual connection (sorry to the queers, I look forward to the fanfic), but there’s an interesting mirror between Joe’s relationship with Rhys and his relationship with Kate.

“You” has survived its fourth season, but that rope now looks seriously frayed. Yet while the fourth season begins in characteristically twisty fashion, before it’s over the Netflix hit feels dangerously close to jumping the shark, having become a bit too cute for its (or Your, if You prefer) own good. It’s during the second half, alas, when the story begins going off the rails, as the writers unleash developments that undermine the tantalizing place where the midseason break leaves off.

Here's everything you need to know about the events of You's fourth season—and how part one ends.

In the fifth episode, Roald openly accuses Joe of being the killer and presents the evidence to the group while pointing a gun in his face. Rhys Montrose, one of friends among the elite group, reveals he is the killer and Joe’s stalker. Kate rescues them, and the love between her and Joe only deepens. Joe manages to run away, but Roald catches up to him, and they fight. At the party, Malcolm urges Joe to let loose and try to enjoy the night. Joe hobbles back into Kate’s room to find her staring at Gemma dead on the floor. Joe manages to dispose of Malcolm’s body without raising any alarms and later finds Marienne, who is understandably frightened by him, and goes back to Paris to be with her daughter. But after Joe fakes his death and moves to Europe, he becomes friends with some of London’s elite class, and the script is flipped on its head: someone knows Joe’s secret, and, this time, he is the one being stalked by a killer. Now going by Jonathan, he befriends a rich and well-connected professor named Malcolm, whom he lives next door to—so close, in fact, that he can see into Malcolm’s living room in the flat that he lives in with his girlfriend, Kate, through his kitchen window.

The season ended with Joe in Paris, France, looking for Marienne, vowing that she really was the one for him.

Netflix's psychological thriller You has had audiences in a chokehold since 2018, and the highly anticipated fourth season is bound to send everyone down ...

So that took a bit of time to get my head around and that took some time later on in life to get my head around. I feel that comes from, you just need a little bit of a core understanding to start with. It means a lot when someone is genuinely very encouraging, so I really appreciate you taking the time to do that. I loved it, I loved the book series, and I love the movie. I feel that many actors at that age, they get the chance to try themselves out on smaller things and dip their toe in and get a bit of experience under their belt, allowing themselves to learn and make mistakes, but I feel that mine was very big and very exposed. I feel there [were] a lot of tough scenes because we're having to tread the line so very carefully to what's going on and what's not going on throughout the whole season. And if it was the scene with Joe and the zip ties and the garage, I do not want to know. It was very fun to watch, and I cannot wait for audiences to see it. I think the overall challenge with Rhys was piecing him together and trying to understand how he operated. But in order to do that, you have to understand their mindset, and you have to get on board with the idea that they're making decisions because they think this is the best thing. I actually have in my notes that you have a couple of really fantastic lines, particularly towards the second half of the season, that I would've been tongue-tied if I was trying to say them. Collider: There is so much duplicity built into your character of Rhys that I just love to watch.

'You' season 4, starring Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, just dropped. Here's every London location this season was filmed, from the university to his flat.

Here's who'll be joining Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg in Season 4 of Netflix's hit series You, which takes the serial killer to the streets of England.

Although he is close to the rest of the aristocratic group, his past will often draw a barrier between his perspective and that of his peers when it comes to money. Sophie is Simon's sister and the daughter of a tech entrepreneur. Malcolm is Kate's boyfriend, and he is the life of the party. Before playing Joe's friend turned rival, he also participated in the first seasons of Euphoria and The White Lotus. Simon is also an artist, and he is working with Kate to organize his art exhibition. With another setting as the backdrop to this insane storyline, [there comes the need for fresh faces](https://collider.com/you-season-4-new-characters-explained/) that will be a part of the serial killer's social circle in that location. Marienne was first introduced in Season 3 as Joe's librarian co-worker and the last person that the character was obsessed with. Different from her boyfriend, the character does perceive her wealth as all fun and games. The actor also appeared in two coming-of-age classics: Easy A and John Tucker Must Die. Despite his urge to prove that he is a good person, the serial killer returns to his old habits when his close contacts, a.k.a the UK elite, are taken down one by one. After his partner in crime, [Love (Victoria Pedretti), was killed at the end of Season 3](https://collider.com/you-season-4-love/), nothing can prevent him from pursuing a new target. [Netflix's top serial killer is at it again in You Season 4.](https://collider.com/you-season-4-review/) Everywhere Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) goes the body count doubles.

He also claims that "Heartbreak is always a catalyst for a new path" — one that we'll see unravel in season four of You. Joe cleans up the crime scene and plants evidence to frame Love for all the killings that ensued throughout the season, including the murder of his neighbors, Natalie and Gil. If that wasn't disturbing enough, he cut his own toes off to make a meat pie and fake his death for a clean slate (which he also frames Love for). After marrying and having a baby boy with Love Quinn (a.k.a his victim in season two), Joe moves to the suburban neighborhood of Madre Linda. After killing Marienne's boyfriend, Ryan, to get him out of the picture for good, Joe's plans to run away with her go awry when his wife finds out and attempts to poison him. The new season of You hits Netflix on Thursday, February 9, which means Joe Goldberg is about to wreak havoc on our TV screens yet again.

Subverting repetitive patterns and finding new directions to pull Joe in is the name of the game for season 4. The second part of season 4, arriving a month later than the first, is the better half, so it's worth sticking it out in this world of the British royal adjacent. He and Joe share a love of books, among other similarities. But you know it's just a matter of time, because it's Joe. Joe is quickly entangled in business he strictly set out to avoid. Flashbacks to Paris reveal what happened when Joe first escaped the mess he left behind in the US.

Joe Goldberg returns for another rousing game of cat-and-mouse on You Season 4 — only this time, he's the mouse.

Eventually, Joe is shocked to find that Rhys is both his stalker as well as the killer. That’s not going away anytime soon.) And now that Rhys has his number, he’s ready to deliver a dose of Joe Goldberg justice. Once he’s back in London, the news is aflutter with the news of the latest killing … There’s never been such a disconnect in the way that Joe presents himself to the outside world and what he’s really thinking in the innermost reaches of his devious brain. Thanks to his star pupil Nadia, Joe has already read “Good Man, Cruel World,” Rhys’s captivating memoir of how he went from rags to riches, pulling himself out of a childhood of trauma and poverty and ending up in the company of high society. Under the principle of Chekov’s gun — a gun in the first act will resurface by the third — it seems that Marianne will somehow come into play later in the season. Why the detective accepted a simple image of a locket as proof of her murder is perplexing, but whatever. The first half of the season establishes the cat-and-mouse game between Joe and his stalker, even revealing the man behind the shady, disappearing texts in the final few moments of the Part 1 finale. Joe’s focus immediately shifts as he scrambles to try and figure out who is stalking him, why, and what they have planned for him in the long run. When we first check in with Joe, he’s living a pretty normal life, working as a professor of literature and spending his nights curled up with a book and a cuppa in his fancy flat. It’s a delightful twist that upends the typical You narrative, putting Joe Goldberg on the defensive instead of the offensive.

So, Rhys is trying to make Joe more comfortable with the idea of taking Roald’s life, especially after the Oxford circle showed their true colors during their weekend getaway. Season 4 is all about how rich people are just the worst, and the location Rhys chooses to play his mind games with Joe underlines this theme. From the first episode of You Season 4, we learn that a serial killer is on the loose in London. Unfortunately, the real Eat-the-Rich Killer is nearby, knocks Joe down, and drags him into a nightmarish trap. In the case of Season 4 of You, it’s only in Episode 5 that we see the story transform from a murder mystery into something darker.

"You" Season 4 has callbacks to "Gossip Girl," the show Penn Badgley is most known for. Netflix releases the first five episodes on Feb. 9.

The series on ABC Family (now Freeform), based on Sara Shepard's novels, aired from 2010-2017 and centered on a group of teenage girls who receive text messages from someone alleging to be their dead friend Alison (Sasha Pieterse). It's hard to imagine Badgley played both Humphrey and serial killer Goldberg in the Netflix series. The CW drama, based on Cecily von Ziegesar's book, revolved around a group of elite Upper East Side teenagers tormented by texts from a mysterious "Gossip Girl" who knows all their dirty secrets.
