The same month that You season 3 dropped on Netflix (October 2021, FYI), the streaming service confirmed a season 4 is officially happening. Yep, Joe is back again. Here's what we know about the fourth instalment of the serial-killer-turned-married-dad-in-the-suburbs' story.

*Spoilers*

When did Netflix's You season 4 start filming?

"Feeling YOU-4-ic. YOU Season 4 is now in production," the official Twitter account wrote on 22nd March, revealing filming had begun on the next instalment of the story

Who will star in Netflix's You season 4?

Netflix have slowly been drip-feeding details about You season 4, so far including one new cast member. Lukas Gage from The White Lotus "plays Adam, the warm, funny, and hard-partying son of a wealthy family who is famous for failing to meet their standards. But the one thing he did learn from his parents is to do whatever it takes to get what you want."

Other than that, not that much is known about the fourth series, but we can assume Joe (Penn Badgley) will take centre stage living his new life in Paris. Some fans have been speculating about whether Ellie (Jenna Ortega) from season two might reappear, after a specific conversation she had with Love (Victoria Pedretti) resurfaced.

As a Reddit user noted, "I'm rewatching season 2 and Love tells Ellie if the film thing doesn't work out you should go to culinary school in Paris... Idk I feel like could she be there?"

Now that would be a plot twist.

In addition to the show's recurring characters, we could be set to see a pretty unexpected cast member joining the show - thanks to some intense fangirling between Penn Badgley and Cardi B.

Following a Twitter love affair between the pair - which saw the actor and rapper exchanging a series of gushing tweets and changing their profile pictures to each other - Penn has now addressed speculation that Cardi could land a role in You.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Penn answered questions on a possible Cardi cameo, saying, "Well, I don't know, I definitely can't say. But there is actually - I believe this is true - there's an actual Change.org petition." After being questioned further, he reiterated, "I can't say because I don't know."

The speculation follows yet another Twitter exchange from the rapper, with Netflix changing their Twitter bio to read, "Petition to get Cardi B to guest star in Season 4 of You," followed by a pitch tweet from Cardi: "So it's episode 1 and I'm at Paris Fashion week shutting it down! I turn around and there stands YOU. Ok finish it off @netflix."

Honestly, it sounds amazing.

As for the rest of the cast, season 3 introduced a whole host of new characters so, depending on where Joe ends up, it's questionable whether the likes of Sherry (Shalita Grant), Cary (Travis Van Winkle), Matthew (Scott Speedman) and Theo (Dylan Arnold) will return.

In the final episode, we saw Joe arriving in Paris in search of Marienne (Tati Gabrielle), so we're pretty sure the librarian will be back too. However, thanks to Joe's killing spree in season three, we know for sure that his latest victims Love (Victoria Pedretti) and Ryan (Michael Foster) won't be returning, unless it's in flashback form.

When was Netflix's You season 4 confirmed?

On 13 October (two days before You season 3 dropped), Netflix announced on Twitter that another season was happening. "YOU Season 4 is in the [body] bag," the official account revealed, along with some clips from the story so far.

What do we know about Netflix's You season 4?

The truth is, not a lot. Season 3 saw Love and Joe move to the suburbs with her mother and their son Henry in tow. They got married (and in marriage counselling), and unsurprisingly, weren't able to fully detach from their violent urges.

As a result, the pair got themselves into some sticky situations involving murder and framing, all the while trying to be good parents to their son and fit in with the clique-y new crowd.

What is Netflix's You season 4's expected release date?

No word on when it might be released. Season 1 was released on 9 September 2018, season 2 dropped on 26 December 2019, and season 3 on 15 October 2021. So we can *probably* assume it'll be late 2022, or 2023 judging by the rough timeline of previous seasons.
