You season four is nearly upon us, and we cannot wait to see what else Joe Goldberg, or should we say, Professor Jonathan Moore, gets up to as he flees across the pond to London town to assume a new identity.
I mean, it was about time he fled the country, as his kill count was getting a bit out of hand. Just for a quick recap, season one saw him take the life of Benji Ashby, Peach Salinger, Elijah Thornton, Ron and the object of his affection, Guinevere Beck. Season two saw the same fate for the characters Jasper and Henderson, while season three saw him shockingly end the life of his partner-in-crime, Love.
“Heartbreak is always a catalyst for a new path.”
Now, getting in with an outspoken and glamorous new group of wealthy socialite London friends, will Joe (played by Penn Badgley) change his ways, or will he run back to his murderous comforts? Only time will tell, but there's one thing for sure. Joe will come across a whole new host of new British faces that will irritate him, and while it might take him some time to get used to all of them, let us introduce you to the You season 4 cast, and the actors that play them before Joe has a chance to get his evil paws on them.
Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg/Jonathan Moore
Who? Joe is, of course, our obsessive and creepy lead, who has doubled as a professional stalker in the previous seasons. After causing absolute chaos and killing his wife, Love (Victoria Pedretti), Joe has escaped to London and assumed a new identity as professor Jonathan Moore. By the trailer, we already know that he is annoyed with the new group of "insane, privileged, damaged" people he falls in with, and before he knows it, his desire for murder comes back to haunt him. But that's only if a rival killer running riot doesn't take the spotlight away from him...
