You Season 4 sets cast and begins filming in London.
Netflix’s controversial, but oh so tantalizing, drama about a sociopathic love-struck murderer, You, has finalized the cast and begun filming in London. After the incredibly shocking ending of Season 3, we find Joe, Penn Badgley, in London looking for his new love, Marienne (Tati Gabrielle). This is likely also an effort to escape any suspicions of him murdering his wife, who did try to kill him first. The series is absolutely psycho and many viewers can not get enough of it. To celebrate the start of production, Netflix shared a photo of Badgley on set with another photo that is a close up of the books next to him. Most likely clues about Season 4.
You Season 4 Begins Filming in London
Those books have to have something to do with You Season 4. However, let’s just say those aren’t very popular books. I also doubt they rhyme or have pictures so chances of me knowing what they are slim to none. Joe is an ardent reader, those could easily be props. However, the close-up focus really seems like a clue of some kind. But I also can’t really make out the titles. So instead of trying to dive deep into books I don’t know, check out the official cast down below. Headshots and character descriptions courtesy of Netflix.
Tilly Keeper as Lady Phoebe
As sweet and kind as she is rich, famous, and chaotic, Phoebe’s every bikini wax has been documented by the tabloids since she was 15 years old. An aristocratic socialite with an avid fan base, Phoebe’s true colors show when she’s alone with her friends. She’s a steadfast cheerleader, especially to American entrepreneur boyfriend Adam. She’s also a wild card: when misfortune strikes, will she rise to the occasion, or shatter? Amy Leigh Hickman as Nadia
A literature major with a love of genre storytelling and the aspiration to be a serious author, Nadia’s outspokenness and intensity are a perfect cover for the insecurities carried by a young woman who’s never been accepted by her peer group. She’s made some big mistakes; now, they threaten to destroy her life. She’ll need help, even if it’s from the wrong people. Ed Speelers as Rhys
Dry, irreverent Rhys is an author whose memoir garnered him acclaim and pressure to launch a political career. Born into poverty, Rhys lived a traumatic early life before he came into money, going to Oxford and making all the right friends. Now, he moves easily in any social circle, while also seeing through those around him. He doesn’t have much time for partying, though he enjoys staying in touch with his eccentric circle of friends. After all, they were there for him in his troubled youth.
Niccy Lin as Sophie
Sophie is an entrepreneur in the body of a pampered jetsetter. Sure, it looks like she’s lying around in a bikini on social media, but every aspect of her feed represents cannily-negotiated high-end sponsorship deals. Underneath her whimsical exterior, Sophie is a watchful protector of her introverted artist brother, Simon. Aidan Cheng as Simon
Simon is impossible to impress and abhors small talk and strangers. The Oxford-educated son of a Chinese technology magnate, Simon proved the world wrong when, despite his wealth and sheltered life, he proved himself an artist worthy of acclaim.
Stephen Hagan as Malcolm
Born to privilege, Malcolm is a literature professor who enjoys all the social perks of the job without working very hard. A drug-loving bon vivant, Malcolm’s friendliness can tip over into bullying if you resist. He’s dating brilliant, successful Kate, which speaks to his own intelligence and maturity. But he’s also seeing a few others on the side, which cancels out those bonus points.
Ben Wiggins as Roald
Roald hails from an old aristocratic family whose names are on many an important building around Europe. He is attractive, stylish and possessed of perfect manners, but there’s a certain cold calculation to Roald, not to mention rumors of a hidden dark side. Eve Austin as Gemma
A member of a privileged circle of friends who met at Oxford, Gemma has never given a day’s thought to life beyond the next VIP event, fashion show, or date. She’s a fun friend to party with, but her insular and privileged life has rendered her shockingly tone-deaf and startlingly lacking in empathy towards those with less.Ozioma Whenu as Blessing
A Nigerian princess with several post-graduate degrees, Blessing is an investor with a passion for cryptocurrency. Wry, fun-loving, unapologetically cliquish with her university friends, her carefree risk-taking in life and business has paid off time and again. What’s her secret? She believes we’re all living in a simulation, so only fools would stop themselves from doing whatever they want.Dario Coates as Connie
Connie attended Oxford with Kate and Phoebe’s friend group. He is upper-crust, posh, a sportsman gone soft. Loud, potty mouthed, loves betting, horses, drinking and cocaine. It’s safe to assume that Connie’s never had to face a negative consequence in his life.Sean Pertww as Vic
Adam’s personal driver/dealer/security, proud and impeccably dressed Vic is loyal and keeps many of Adam and his friends’ secrets. He’s not afraid to get his hands dirty to protect them — the job always comes first. Outsiders are treated with polite but utter suspicion.
Allison Pargeter as Dawn
Dawn is not someone you’d notice in a crowd, and that helps with her work as a paparazzi photographer. But if you’re someone determined to avoid being captured on camera, well, Dawn could pose a problem. Adam James as Elliot
World-weary, calm, grounded, allergic to drama, Elliot has lived in California for decades, but his job requires him to travel throughout Europe. Elliot’s employer is powerful, and Elliot always delivers, no matter how challenging the task.Brad Alexander as Edward
University student Edward’s dad owns a powerful news outlet. Edward is popular and used to being the smartest student in the room. He has a fierce rivalry with fellow student Nadia.
The lack of Tatiana Gabrielle really confuses me because Joe seemed to be adamant about being with Marienne. He usually doesn’t move on from one of his fixations until he convinces himself he has to get rid of them… But Gabrielle is a star on the rise, and with Covid regulations, travel, and scheduling, it just might not have worked out. But that does always leave hope for the future.
So for Season 4, my money is on Nadia (Amy Leigh Hickman) to be Joe’s primary love fixation. She’s a bookworm, needs help, all things Joe loves. However, he is prone to be attracted to “wild cards” and characters with non-traditional names. *cough* Love *cough* Lady seems to be a match there.

The best way to describe Kevin Fenix is the kid you never tell what the buttons do in video games so you have a chance to win. Being 6’ 4” and Asian, he never really fit in, so he got comfortable standing out. Not only is it easy to find him in crowds, he dabbles in the culinary arts, does a little stand up and improv, and can honestly say Spider-Man is the Jesus-like influence of his life. Kevin Fenix loves dogs, movies, television, comics, comedy, and to shoot people… with video.
