YOU season 4 gets an earlier premiere date on Netflix. In a fashion that's become expected by viewers, YOU season 3 ended with a shocking death that leads Penn Badgley's Joe Goldberg to make drastic changes to his life and move to a different location. At the end of the third installment, Joe finds himself in Paris — it's both an effort to blend in and look for Marienne (played by Tati Gabriel). But with new episodes just a few short months away, Joe will once again have to acclimate to fresh surroundings.
In a surprise announcement, Netflix has confirmed that YOU season 4, part 1, will debut on Thursday, February 9. Part 2 will release exactly a month later on March 9. This is a change from the earlier release plan, which saw the romantic thriller arriving on February 10. The upcoming installment of YOU was previously teased with a poster of Joe looking ominous.
Everything We Know About YOU Season 4
As teased by the ominous poster, YOU season 4 will see Joe in London. But it's not just the place that's different. Joe will take on a new name and persona. He'll be Professor Jonathan Moore, finding himself drawn to an art gallery director named Kate (played by Charlotte Richie). It's been teased that she knows more about Joe's sketchy past than he's comfortable with. Along with Kate and the returning Marienne, YOU season 4's story will continue its habit of bringing in several new characters that Joe will likely look to with a mix of amusement and disdain.
The cast of YOU season 4 will feature Tilly Keeper, Amy-Leigh Hickman, Ed Speleers, Niccy Lin, Aidan Cheng, Stephen Hagan, Ben Wiggins, Eve Austin, Ozioma Whenu, Dario Coates, Sean Pertwee, Brad Alexander, Alison Pargeter, Adam James, and Euphoria actor Lukas Gage. Although that does read like a large ensemble, it's in keeping with the established patterns of the romantic thriller. Badgley's character not only tends to fall in love with a new girl, in every new place, but he has a tendency to wreak havoc on the lives of acquaintances wherever he goes.
There is a chance that YOU season 4 will encounter problems as it works to distinguish itself and offer a unique take on what it has previously set up. The series likely can't rely on the same setups, with fans hoping that there will be some sort of definitive endgame in sight. The positive is that, with this latest announcement, the wait has become slightly shorter.
