So, it\u2019s like, we sort of hurdle along very quickly. So\u2026 I think by the end of the season, you\u2019re in this totally different place that you didn\u2019t think you\u2019d be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s definitely true, and while it isn\u2019t a big spoiler to reveal that Joe survives season three to carry on his murderous stalker rampage another day, there are other big plot twists throughout the current 10 episodes that mean a lot could change for Joe in season four.<\/p>\n<p>Read on for everything you need to know about You season four, including the brand new teaser trailer, cast updates and \u2013 spoiler alert \u2013 what happens at the end of season three.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You season 4 release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The fourth season of You has yet to go into production, so we may be in for quite a long wait. We\u2019ll keep this page updated with further news.<\/p>\n<p>The first season of You was launched worldwide on December 26<sup>th<\/sup>, 2018, and season two followed exactly a year later. While You was quickly renewed for a third season in January 2020, production was delayed due to the pandemic and not completed until April 2021, with the series arriving on Netflix six months later.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, if production on season four starts in early 2022, episodes may be ready for us to watch <strong>before<\/strong> <strong>Christmas 2022<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You season 4 plot theories<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s possible season four could be the final season of the hit Netflix series, and in a recent interview with <a href=\"\/\/www.vulture.com\/article\/penn-badgley-profile.html&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Vulture<\/a>, star Penn Badgley talked about what he thinks should happen to murderer Joe when the drama comes to an end.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPunishment is important, but what form of punishment is actually effective? With Joe, the irony is that death is almost too easy for him,\u201d he says, adding that Joe could be tortured (\u201che deserves it, but does someone deserve to have to do it?\u201d) or just condemned to be miserable for life (\u201cbut he already is miserable.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Each season of You so far has been based on one of Caroline Kepnes novels \u2013 season one is based on her book You, season two is based on Hidden Bodies and season three is loosely based on You Love Me which was published in April 2021. Kepnes has announced she is working on a fourth book, but it is currently unclear whether it will be used as the basis for the next season of You, or which will come first \u2013 the book or the series.<\/p> <p>So what could Joe be up to next season? If you have finished watching season three (and if not, stop reading now as there are <strong>spoilers ahead<\/strong>), you know that Joe faked his own death (by chopping off two of his own toes!), left his baby Henry in the care of couple Dante and Lansing, and framed Love for all their crimes before killing her with aconite and then setting their house on fire.<\/p>\n<p>While he was last seen hunting new obsession Marienne, whom he believes has fled to Paris, it is likely that his love for his son will draw Joe back to California. A new season could have Joe (now going by the name Nick) stalking his own child, perhaps to protect Henry from a re-appearance by Love\u2019s unstable mother Dottie.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely Love is still alive (though, in the world of You, anything is possible), but she (and Victoria Pedretti who plays her) could return in Joe\u2019s mind to haunt him, just as Beck did in season two.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You season 4 cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So far, the only confirmed cast member returning is Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg.<\/p>\n<p>The teaser trailer hints that Joe is haunted by his past, so it is possible that some of his past victims such as Beck (Elizabeth Lail), Candace (Ambyr Childers) and, of course, Love, could come back to haunt him.<\/p>\n<div

we\u2019d like to see the return of some Madre Linda residents from season three, such as Henry\u2019s adoptive parents Dante (Ben Mehl) and Lansing (Noel Arthur) and that horrendous power blogger couple Sherry and Cary (Shalita Grant and Travis Van Winkle).<\/p>\n<p>We also don\u2019t think Joe has seen the last of his drunken mother in law, Dottie (Saffron Burrows), and, if we\u2019re bringing back memorable characters from previous seasons, it would also be great to see John Stamos return as Beck\u2019s therapist Dr Nicky, who is currently in jail for murders Joe committed.<\/p>\n<p>Stamos, who currently stars in the Disney+ series Big Shot, did not return for season three, but in an interview with <a href=\"\/\/www.etonline.com\/john-stamos-not-returning-to-you-season-3-exclusive-164074&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">ET<\/a> in April, he revealed that his wife Caitlin has told him that Dr Nicky is her favourite character of his.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s see, the second season I had one scene in the jail and I was like, screwed up and I was like, talking to Jesus and stuff, and she goes \u2018That\u2019s the best scene you\u2019ve ever done.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Jenna Ortega, who played Joe\u2019s teenage neighbour Ellie in season 2 (and who Joe continues to send gifts to in season three, though we don\u2019t see her) has said she would be happy to return to the series, telling Cosmopolitan: \u201cI had such an incredible time there that if they would like to have me back, I\u2019m more than happy to take a few digs at Joe again.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You season 4 location<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first season of You was set and filmed in New York, and then the story and production switched to LA for season two. \u201cIf you went straight from season one to season two, you\u2019ll notice the sun-drenched colour palette,\u201d Sera Gamble told Variety. \u201cThere\u2019s something creamier about the light in LA than in season one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third season of You was also filmed in California, with locations in the Los Angeles area doubling for the fictional town of Madre Linda and a street in the LA suburb of Van Nuys used for the exteriors of Love and Joe\u2019s idyllic house.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of season three, the plot has Joe is in Paris looking for his latest obsession, Marienne, although the scene was filmed in LA with a fake backdrop showing the Eiffel Tower. It\u2019s likely that the next season will continue to be filmed in LA even if the story is not set there, as most of the series\u2019 creative team are based nearby.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>You season 4 trailer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While there isn\u2019t a full trailer yet, on October 13<sup>th <\/sup>Netflix did release a teaser to announce season four with the caption \u201cYOU season four is in the [body] bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the teaser:<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;YOU\" season=\"\" announcement=\"\" netflix=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LmggeWtx_B4?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p><strong>You seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix.
