It’s official: “You” season four is on the way with a brand-new plot, murder mystery, and identity waiting for Penn Badgley’s Joe. Netflix first confirmed the exciting news just days before season three premiered in October 2021, and viewers have been eagerly awaiting more details ever since. The good news is there’s finally a release date — two, to be exact — and a full-length trailer teasing a “new year, new country, and new persona” as Joe struggles to shake off his past.
In the season four preview that Netflix released on Jan. 9, Joe — now known as Professor Jonathan Moore in his new London life — goes from predator to prey when he finds himself with a stalker, all while reeling from his heartbreak with Marienne (Tati Gabrielle). Per his usual shenanigans, Joe also becomes obsessed with someone new and gets wrapped up in a friend group of uberwealthy socialites, but the series teases that he takes on a “strange new role of reluctant detective as he discovers he may not be the only killer in London.”
Netflix previously announced the first half of “You” would premiere in February, with part two debuting the following month. Season three ends with Joe moving to Paris under his new identity, Nick, to follow Marienne and her daughter, so it’s unclear why he then went to London, but season four’s trailer teases that the two may reunite after all. Either way, we’re very excited to find out what trouble Joe finds himself in next. Will he still be up to his old obsessive antics? Guess you’ll just have to wait to see.
