Penn Badgley spoke to Tudum about the show, staing that his character didn't "feel great about anything" while trying to digest the fact that he is a billionaire.

“Joe doesn’t feel great about anything, really. He’s trying to stomach being one of the 0.01%, a billionaire. He’s fooling himself, but he’s doing a pretty good job, as he always does,” the actor said.

You season 4 recap

Ad

You season 4 was released in 2023, and in the early stages of his trip, Joe looks for Marienne (Tati Gabrielle). After finding her in Paris and getting rejected, he begins a new life as a literature professor using the name Jonathan Moore.

Joe meets Rhys Montrose (Ed Speleers), a mayoral contender for London, as he joins this high-society group. Initially, Joe and Rhys grow close, but an unanticipated event reveals Rhys to be a hallucination of Joe's darker side. This other personality, which takes control over Joe's mind, is responsible for the deaths of Malcolm, Simon (Aidan Cheng), and Gemma (Eve Austin).

Joe believes Rhys is the real murderer since he cannot recall carrying out these offenses. The "Eat the Rich" killer, however, is Joe, whose second personality controls his violent behavior.

As the season progresses, Joe's obsession with women persists. He targets Kate, Malcolm's girlfriend. At first, Kate is frosty towards Joe, but following Malcolm's death she gets more engaged with him.

Following a strained talk with Kate's father, billionaire Tom Lockwood (Greg Kinnear), it becomes clear that Kate is his daughter. Joe murders Tom to save Kate.

Nadia (Amy-Leigh Hickman), one of Joe's students, discovers Marienne in the glass cage and releases her at the same time. Marienne returns to Paris under Nadia's guidance by pretending to be dead. However, before Nadia leaves for New York, Joe murders her lover and accuses her of the crime.

Knowing he hasn't changed, Joe attempts to take his own life at season's end. He survives and he and Kate start a new life together as the season comes to an end.
