Penn Badgley returned as Joe Goldberg on Netflix’s You. But this time Joe is going to be hunted. You season 4 part 1 was recently released on the streaming giant. In the first four episodes, Joe takes a new identity in London as a literature professor named Jonathan Moore. In a recent interview with ET, Penn teased how things will take turns in part 2. The actor said, “Part 2 is probably different from Part 1.” Badgley promised to answer all the fan’s questions in part 2 saying, “If you have questions, there will be answers.”
The actor continued, “They are probably wondering, ‘What the hell? What is going on?’ Trust me, just a few episodes more it really does what the show does best.” He further teased, “I think in episode 8 you actually see a different side to Joe that you’ve never seen. The show does something that it’s never done before and I think it’s really rewarding.”
Badgley also shared a message to fans who may be staggering from the emotional roller-coaster after binge-watching the first five episodes. Penn noted that the two halves of season 4 feel like two parts of a whole, with Part 1 being a slight departure in the genre. Badgley further teased that “in Part 2, it’s sort of coming home to what the show does best after having done the murder mystery detour.”
Further, in the interview with the outlet, Badgley addressed whether season 4 could mark the end of Joe’s journey as the first half of the season saw him attempting to keep his past tendencies at bay, ultimately unsuccessfully in the end. The actor gushed, “I certainly can’t spoil it but I would think that if we don’t get another season, this could be a somewhat satisfying end.”
Penn added, “Joe, at this point, he’s like a post-modern icon. He’s such a popular dude but… there’s gotta be, to me, a more thorough, satisfying conclusion.” You can stream Part 1 of You season 4 now on Netflix. You season 4 part 2 release date has been set for March 9.
