YOU Relocates To London For Season 4, Sets Cast — Meet Joe's New Frenemies

Hello, YOU? It's London calling.

Netflix on Friday confirmed that the fourth season of Penn Badgley's hit thriller (release date TBD) will take place in England, rather than Paris, as was previously announced. You may recall that YOU's third season finale ended with Badgley's character Joe Goldberg following Marienne (Tati Gabrielle) to the City of Light.

"Every season of the show is new place, a new conversation about love with a lowercase L," showrunner Sera Gamble told TVLine back in October. "I would be excited to do a European season. I think that would be so fun. One of the questions we always ask on this show is, What pool of privileged douchebags do we want to throw Joe into next? And there are a lot of untapped pools around the world, if you just leave the borders of the United States."

So, who will Joe encounter across the pond? Read on for a breakdown of the three newest additions to the show's ever-expanding cast (as first reported by Deadline), along with the names we already knew to expect.

Once you've met the newbies, drop a comment with your hopes for Season 4 below.

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 Speleers 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."

Lukas Gage as Adam

Adam is an "ex-pat American, the youngest son of a wealthy East-Coast magnate. He's famous for spectacularly failing to meet the standards of his successful, venerable family. An entrepreneur and a gambler, Adam is a warm and funny party host and fast friend. But underneath, Adam is hiding a trove of secrets and papering over problems with heavy self-medication. Determined to prove himself, Adam's taking big, risky swings, living by the truism that a good businessman does absolutely anything he can get away with. Does he love his wealthy, titled girlfriend, or is he using her? There's no doubt he's manipulating his friends; the only question is how far he'd go."

Charlotte Ritchie as Kate

Kate is "smart, independent, suspicious and misses nothing. She is fiercely loyal to her friends, a brick wall to everyone else. The daughter of a chaotic, bohemian single mother, Kate worked hard to create the life she now leads. She's an art gallery director whose job means managing tempestuous artists. Kate tends to be 'the adult in the room,' and has embraced the moniker of 'icy bitch.' She's especially protective of best friend Lady Phoebe, a sweet and trusting person whose extreme wealth and fame tend to attract opportunists. Kate prefers "arrangements" to love, which is why she dates fun but self-centered partier Malcolm. When Malcolm invites Joe, an American outsider of no apparent means, into their privileged world, Kate not only immediately dislikes him, she strongly suspects something about the man is not what he seems.

Tati Gabrielle as Marienne

Joe followed Marienne to Paris in the Netflix drama's third season finale, and although Gabrielle is returning as a series regular, it's not year clear how Marienne will fit into the narrative of YOU Season 4.

Supporting Characters

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 Pertwee 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.

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.

Alison 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."
