The structure split cleanly down the center of the season because Greg Berlanti and I have written so many midseason cliffhangers for old school television.” So instead of keeping audiences waiting even longer, they released the first seven episodes as volume 1, which ended with a “such satisfying breaking point and pay-off moment, that it’ll keep people fed for enough weeks so we can finish up volume 2.”Īs for You season 4's split, showrunner Sera Gamble explained to THR: “Netflix approached us. For Stranger Things, the reason was that the entire fourth season was simply not ready to be released at once, producer Shawn Levy explained to The Hollywood Reporter. However, Netflix has used a similar split-release strategy for some of its bigger titles, such as Stranger Things and Ozark, whose latest seasons were both released in separate volumes last year. That’s a reasonable question, considering You’s first three seasons, which were each also 10 episodes long, were not divided into parts. But is she really alive or is it just a flashback?Įd Speleers as Rhys and Penn Badgley as Joe Netflix Why split the season in two? And, Joe's late wife Love ( Victoria Pedretti) appears. Yes, Netflix released a teaser that features the drama ahead as Joe tries to stop Rhys. New episodes usually appear on Netflix at 12 a.m. Part 1 (episodes 1-5) are already streaming as of February 9, while part 2 (episodes 6-10) begins streaming on March 9. It may seem like a bummer but perhaps think of it this way: You’ve already waited more than a year since the season 3 finale what’s another month? How many episodes will there be? The second half of the season arrives on on Netflix on March 9, just one month after the season 4 premiere. In the second half of the season, we can probably expect Joe/Jonathan to be on the hunt to stop the assailant, but it probably won’t be easy-and it will almost certainly be bloody. At the end of the episode, Joe/Jonathan vows to stop the culprit-“I’m coming for you,” he says before the credits roll. By the end of episode 5, those vigilante, Robin Hood-like themes are made even clearer when Joe/Jonathan comes face to face with the real murderer, an outsider in the friend group with a secret agenda and big ambitions. The on-screen public seem to think so, calling the mysterious culprit the Eat The Rich Killer, and even celebrating some of their kills. Does that make it okay? Is it heroic, even? But in season 4, rich pricks (including one woman, so far) are getting killed instead. And the audience has loved it because he’s played by heartthrob Penn Badgley. An interesting question arises: If the victims are all from this easily hatable group, who exploit the working class and lead selfish, insular lives, are the murders justified? In the past, You has understandably gotten in hot water for glorifying a serial killer-a white man who stalks, tortures, and murders mostly women, and gets away with it every time. Joe has found himself in the midst of annoying friend groups in the past, from New York to Madre Linda, but this lot is immensely richer and more privileged, with members ranging from heirs to real-life princesses who own country homes that could be mistaken for Downton Abbey. This season of You feels tonally different from the others, mostly because of the London setting, the posh academia aesthetic, and those bougie British accents but the show seems to deliver a sharper critique of the upper class than it has before. The deeper he wedges into his new circle of ridiculously wealthy British friends, more bodies start falling. Not only does he wake up hungover one morning to find his neighbor’s boyfriend stabbed like fresh meat in his kitchen, he also realizes he’s being framed and watched-and he must find out the real killer. He thinks death is behind him, but alas, it has followed him across the pond. (He’s also looking for his latest romantic obsession, Marienne, who has fled to Europe after learning of his murderous ways). In season 4, Joe Goldberg-sorry, Professor Jonathan Moore-is working at a university in London to start a new life after killing his wife, burning down their home, and leaving his infant son behind. But still, they were riveting weren’t they? In fact, those five episodes are just a taste of the roller coaster of drama ahead. No, You’s fourth season doesn’t end just like that.
