The co-creator of You shares details on what we can expect from season 4
You season 3 was a rollercoaster, to say the least. And if you've already finished binge-watching, you're probably excitedly looking ahead to You season 4.
Well, it's good news all round, as a fourth series of the Netflix hit has officially been confirmed! Plus, the show's co-creator has been busy sharing details on what we can potentially expect from the season 4 plot, and we're already excited.
Warning: spoilers ahead.
The end of season 3 saw a now-widowed Joe heading to Paris after Marienne - and You's co-creator and showrunner, Sera Gamble, has opened up about what that might mean for him next.
Speaking to E! News, Gamble explained that Joe's main focus is to find Marienne, adding, "That's why he's there."
Discussing the choice of Paris as a location, Gamble said that the writers ask themselves, "What's a completely different kind of environment to put him in? And then also, what haven't we done that could potentially get him into lots of trouble?"
She continued, revealing that the writers choose locations that put Joe in unfamiliar environments. "That was part of the thinking this season [season 3] as well, with putting him in suburbia among all of these perfect white picket fence families. None of that is really his area of expertise either," she explained, adding that the "more fish out of water he is, the better".
As for whether Joe might reunite with his and Love's son Henry (aka Forty), Gamble revealed, "That's going to be an ongoing conversation, because no, you can't pretend something that huge about a character didn't happen."
"I think it will shape him from this moment forward. And even his exact plan of when and if he would return for his son is something that we will... if we get to the writers room... come together and talk about for hours and hours and hours between snacks."
Of course, Joe still has a lot of enemies out there. Speculating on whether any of them will become targets, Gamble said, "I would put pretty much everyone who's ever met Joe and gotten away to be on the threat list."
Yikes.
Discussing whether we'll ever see Joe being caught for his crimes, Gamble said that she, the writers and actor Penn Badgley (who plays Joe) "like thinking about the possibility that he'll be punished."
She added that the writers "frequently end up spinning out just these theoretical conversations about what the most fitting one would be. Should he be killed? Oh no, that would be too easy. Should he be in jail?"
"Like, people think a lot about this, everyone associated with the show thinks about how to punish Joe."
And if you were wondering whether Love might do a Candace and return from being supposedly dead, Gamble says the answer's no.
"No, like we weren't trying to make you think there was definitely a parachute under her seat in the airplane," she explained. "Like, we stabbed her with the syringe on camera, we dragged her body across the floor and then we blew up the kitchen."
Well, that's that then.
