Netflix's You: Why Penn Badgley accepts Joe Goldberg

Hello, you.

Netflix's most notorious fictional killer Joe Goldberg is Back - But , This Time , with a twist.

For season four of The Thriller , he's moved to London, taken up a job as a literature professor and infiltrated a group of incredibly wealthy friends.

London might be new to Joe - But it isn't new to Penn Badgley , The Actor famous for Joe 's creepy voiceovers.

" I wasn't able to be with My Family as much as I would have liked to, " he tells BBC Newsbeat About filming Last Year .

" Apart from that, it was a great time, I remember it so fondly. I do truly love something of the culture there.

" My Wife is British, she was born and raised there until she was a teenager so I just really truly did enjoy it. "

So Penn enjoyed being in the UK, But what About his famous character?

" I think in some ways he settled in quite nicely, apart from the fact that he's Joe Goldberg and he can't settle in anywhere nicely, " he says.

" [London is] The Source of the fantasies in Joe 's mind About how people should be, the literature that he loves.

" He's really trying to make a go of it and I think at The Beginning you see him on one level doing a good enough job.

" Of course by The End of The First episode, you discover that's not the case. "

This series also sees the introduction of British actors like new love interest Charlotte Ritchie and Tilly Keeper , who was previously in EastEnders, as a famous It girl.

Tati Gabrielle also returns as Marienne, another of Joe 's love interests - Yes , he's had a few.

" When I found out he was coming to London, I was really quite thrilled, " Tilly says.

" I think it really plays into this nice kind of dark academia vibe we've got going on this season. "

Joe has always been a controversial character.

And there have been concerns that The Show glamorises stalking and Male Violence against women.

Penn has spoken - at length - About how much he hates Joe , there's even YouTube compilations dedicated to clips of him criticising the character in interviews.

Speaking to Newsbeat, Penn clarifies that he doesn't " despise" Joe - But does say that he finds it draining playing the character.

" It takes a lot of emotional, spiritual and physical energy to play him for so long, " he says.

" Because he's such an unreliable narrator and so inconsistently manic. He's predictably unpredictable.

" But I think More Than ever, I probably accept him and I think I think despising him would take up even more energy, which I don't want to give him. "

Penn might be tired of Joe 's antics, But there's no sign that this will be The Last series.

" That's A Question for The Writers . I think the question is, is there another season?

" And I think for those who haven't seen it yet, I don't want to spoil whether or not that's possible. "
