You season 4 premiered with its first half of the season on February 9, 2023, a crude deviation from the format of the series. This new season saw Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) renounce his past and move to Europe, as suggested at the end of the third season. The third season indicated that Joe would be moving to Paris in pursuit of his new love/stalking interest. Instead, it seems Joe moved to London, England.
This new location plays a key part in the plot of You season 4, which is based heavily around an academic setting, with Joe working as an English professor named Jonathan Moore. This season had a lot of intriguing aspects that set it apart from the ones that came before it. Apart from Joe's attempts at redemption, this season also features a whodunnit mystery that is sure to be the core plot point in the fourth season of You.
All this while, the location plays a key part in the narrative, much as it has in the previous editions of the show.

Here are the significant locations whereYou season 4 was filmed.
Lincoln's Inn, 11 New Square
One of the most prominent locations in the series that recurred throughout the first five episodes, Lincoln's Inn, 11 New Square, doubled up as the fictional Darcy College, where professor Jonathan Moore taught. This gave a platform to all the library scenes and the college scenes.
Royal Holloway University in Egham
Another prominent London location that served as the ground for all the university scenes is the Royal Holloway University. Penn Badgley was spotted walking around campus by a student last year. This appearance made its way into TikTok.

Gaddesden Estate, Gaddesden Home Farm

The Bargehouse
The art gallery in Oxo Tower Wharf, London SE1 9PH, was the home to leading lady Kate's exhibition space, which recurred in the series quite a few times.
