The place everybody wound up on the finish of Half 1….and what’s subsequent for the Netflix hit.
The brand new you of “You” has been unmasked, and it spells a really sticky scenario for Joe (Penn Badgley). The finale of “You” Season 4, Half 1 reveals that Rhys (Ed Speleers) is the infamous Eat the Wealthy Killer, murdering Joe’s glamorous new associates one-by-one as a result of he too hates their guts.
The killer reveal units the stage for Half 2 (premiering March 9), as a result of figuring out the assassin doesn’t defend Joe or anybody else from being his subsequent sufferer. Nobody is protected — some are in much more hazard now — and the subsequent 5 episodes may very well be a complete massacre.
Right here’s what to anticipate for all the foremost characters in “You” Season 4 after that midseason cliffhanger.
Joe
How does a gaggle of individuals make up for condoning the extrajudicial execution of their homely new American buddy? Joe means that perhaps they will’t, and that his dalliance with London’s privileged elite is over. Sadly for them, Joe is the one one who is aware of the killer’s identification, and nobody would blame him for being strongly disinclined to assist them after Roald (Ben Wiggins) held him at gunpoint and chased him by means of the woods.
Joe can also be in a tough spot as a result of Rhys not believes they’re working towards the identical function. He thinks Rhys is totally deranged and plans to cease him, however not till he figures out the mayoral hopeful’s subsequent transfer and sufferer. In an uncharacteristic transfer, Joe politely declines Kate’s invitation to drinks, holding romantic and sexual distance between them as he plans his subsequent transfer. Is that this…development?

The Eat the Wealthy Killer was hiding in plain sight all season (truly he was typically intentionally obscured or out of body in order that the viewers would basically overlook he existed), and now he’s out for much more blood. Self-made Rhys Montrose is working for mayor of London, utilizing a platform of wealth inadequacy whereas publicly denouncing the murders (as one ought to)… and doubtless planning the subsequent one.
Rhys not has anonymity on his aspect in stalking and manipulating Joe, however he’s the one one who is aware of “Jonathan Moore”s true identification and may nonetheless need Joe to kill and body another person for the murders. Is Rhys daring sufficient to maintain killing whereas actively campaigning for workplace? And together with his personal wealth and mania, who can cease him?
Kate (Charlotte Ritchie)
Kate resumes her icy veneer after Joe says no to drinks (and no to many different issues by extension). She may not assume he’s the killer, however they hid a physique collectively and know that the killer remains to be at massive. Rhys wished her useless just some episodes in the past, so she’s hardly protected but, and she or he has no concept what occurred with Roald and Joe earlier than Rhys locked them up.
Roald
Will Roald suck much less in Half 2? Unlikely, however even Joe agrees that being a complete d-bag isn’t adequate grounds to kill the man. Roald owes Joe his life, which implies he may very well be helpful in catching Rhys (and saving Kate, which might be the motivation he wants) and attempt to redeem himself for actually searching a person.
Nadia (Amy-Leigh Hickman)

Have we heard the final of Joe’s astute scholar who had an affair with first sufferer Malcolm (Stephen Hagan)? Almost certainly no. For one factor, Nadia is an knowledgeable in whodunits and Joe remains to be her trainer. She trusts him after he confiscated her letter from Malcolm and Kate’s house, and that belief may result in closeness, which may result in her cracking the case.
Marienne (Tati Gabrielle)
Joe’s newest love is perhaps actually out of the image, which might be a aid since she deserves peace and there’s no want for a Black lady to hitch the skeletons in Joe’s closet. “You” is the uncommon present that thrives on its white nonsense, a collection that doesn’t want range and inclusion if it’s going to make minority characters victims of a white man’s violence. If Marienne does return, she may assist catch the killer or power Joe to repent for his personal crimes, surviving the entire ordeal and even rising victorious.
Everybody Else
We received’t lie; Most of Joe’s shiny new clique are indistinguishable from each other, and spending much less time with them received’t be the worst factor in Half 2. Phoebe (Tilly Keeper) and Adam (Lukas Gage) will in all probability pop up probably the most due to their proximity to Kate, however will they assist or damage Joe’s trigger — or find yourself useless?
“You” Season 4 Half 1 is now streaming on Netflix. Half 2 premieres March 9.
