Spoilers for You season 4
The first half of the fourth season of You has been pretty different from the previous three seasons so far. There’s less sex and the object of Joe’s obsession is not a woman, but a serial killer that’s obsessed with Joe. I mean, of course there is a woman, but she’s secondary and Joe’s narration even says that he can’t be into her because he’s already in a relationship with the killer. Anyway, the killer was revealed in the mid-season finale and now the trailer for the back half of the season has dropped. It’s showing a lot of mayhem and a surprise character from Joe’s past in the final moments.
The trailer for the final episodes of You season four just debuted online and there’s a major shocker!
Here’s a synopsis of season four: After his previous life went up in flames, Joe Goldberg has fled to Europe to escape his “messy” past, adopt a new identity, and, of course, to pursue true love. But Joe soon finds himself in the strange new role of reluctant detective as he discovers he may not be the only killer in London. Now, his future depends on identifying and stopping whoever’s targeting his new friend group of uber-wealthy socialites…
The video teases the return of Victoria Pedretti as Love Quinn. Fans of the show will remember that Love was injected with poison at the end of season three, and she’s also the estranged wife of Joe (Penn Badgley). The new season continues on March 9, 2023.
The most interesting part of the trailer is not all the chaos that seems to ensue after the killer reveals himself, but the last few seconds which indicate that Love seems to be alive. Yes, the wife that Joe (of course) killed and framed for his death turns up in a glass box in the last few seconds of the trailer while Joe looks on in fear and disbelief. Um, what? It’s not a flashback because Love is holding a book written by one of the new characters. This show occasionally indulges in fantasies that seem real for a few minutes, but they’re usually the sex kind and not ones where Joe is afraid, so it’s not a dream sequence. So is Love still alive? It would track with the whole PI and secret account thing. And this show has done it before with Joe sloppily thinking he’d killed Candace when he actually hadn’t. So are Love and Rhys going to band together to f-ck things up for Joe and make him the most beleaguered murderer of all? Hope so.
