'You' Season 4 Part 2 Will Bring Answers Next Month
Spoilers ahead for season 4, part 1.
The midseason finale of You season 4 answered the show's latest murder mystery... and left us with many more questions. The London-based installment saw Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) assume the identity of Jonathan Moore, a literature professor who falls in with a monetarily-rich and morally-empty group of socialites. When a serial killer begins killing off his new associates and framing him for the crimes, the stalker becomes the prey as Joe sets out to discover the identity of the Eat the Rich killer.
For fans who are wondering when the second half of the season will arrive, here's everything we know about the new episodes so far.
You Season 4, Part 2 premieres on March 9.
Netflix will release the final five episodes of the season on Thursday, March 9, around 12 a.m. PT, just one month after the Part 1 premiere. As for why the streaming giant split up the season, Netflix has been using a two-part schedule for some of its most popular shows, including Ozark and Stranger Things. The split also gives viewers plenty of time to speculate about the midseason cliffhanger; as creator Sera Gamble previously warned, "you’ll need the time to process… and maybe place a few friendly bets about where it’s all going."
The trailer shows Joe and [spoiler]'s troubled partnership.
By the end of episode 5, Joe has identified the stalker that has been slaying members of London's elite. The Eat the Rich Killer is none other than Rhys Montrose (Ed Speelers), the beloved author who Joe himself admired as the member of the clique with one foot in reality. The murders have both personal and political gains. The public sentiment around the ETRK has amplifying the frustrations of London's working class, and Rhys aims to address those issues in his newly announced mayoral campaign. The episode ends with Joe vowing to take Rhys down, even if it means staying away from his paramour Kate (Charlotte Ritchie).
The official trailer for Part 2 (seen above) shows the next step of Rhys's plan, as he tries to make Joe embrace his homicidal nature. "I want a friend. Someone who shares my interests, someone I can finally tell all my secrets to," he tells Joe, who refuses to see himself in his fellow murderer, insisting "I am not some cold-blooded psycho." And yet, the very next shot is Joe digging another grave.
In addition to Joe and Rhys's twisted game, we also see flashes of Joe failing to stay away from Kate, and Lady Phoebe (Tilly Keeper) kissing a sinister Adam (Lukas Gage). There's also a flash of someone's shackled feet struggling against a chair, as well as Nadia (Amy-Leigh Hickman) running somewhere with a frightened look on her face.
Love (Victoria Pedretti) will make an appearance.
The most surprising shot of the trailer brings back a familiar face, as Joe approaches his signature cage—which was missing in Part 1—to find his deceased wife Love sitting in a chair in front of a mini-library. For anyone wondering whether they missed something last season, this scene is probably a hallucination, similar to how Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail) haunted Joe in Season 2. Or Love somehow survived to kill Joe once and for all. Either way, it's nice to have Pedretti back.
