What happens in You season 4?
Season 4 of You sees Joe take on the new persona of a lecturer in London, under the pseudonym Professor Jonathan Moore. In the trailer, Joe says, "Allow me to reintroduce myself: I’ve gone through a bit of refinement upon crossing the pond. And living in London has allowed me to bury the past if you will."
After faking his own death, murdering his wife Love Quinn and leaving his son in California with his library co-worker Dante, Joe fled the country and reinvented his life. The teaser trailers for season 4 show Joe adjusting to his life as a lecturer in London, surrounded by a new circle of friends.
As usual, there's a couple of potential love interests in Joe's sights. The first is Marienne Bellamy, who Joe had a brief fling with in series three, and the other is a new character, Kate, who is an art gallery director described as "fearsomely smart, independent, suspicious [and] misses nothing."
Speaking to TV Line, Penn Badgley confirmed viewers can expect Joe to fall back into old habits, despite is new life. He said: "I think Joe will remain the same. Someone this profoundly ill, disturbed, traumatised and violent has a serious hurdle before them if they're ever going to heal and change. I don't know if it's possible for someone who's that far gone."
However, in an interview for Entertainment Tonight, Badgley revealed that You season 4 has a few new tricks up its sleeve: "The tone is similar but it's shifting in that there is a different format," he explained. "It's almost like we're shifting the genre slightly. And I think it works."
Judging by the trailer, it looks like You season 4 is turning into a bit of a murder mystery, with Joe playing detective. And the shoe is on the other foot this season, because it looks like he might be the one being stalked, if the sinister text messages he receives are anything to go by.
