Netflix’s Penn Badgley’s ‘You’ character hinted to be ‘totally different’

Netflix got a ‘different’ Joe.

Netflix On February 9, 2023, You season 4 part 1 was uploaded on the popular streaming service, and the showrunner indicated that Joe will actually be different this time.

Joe Goldberg, who plays Prof. Moore in season 4, is portrayed by Penn Badgley in the lead role of You, a psychological crime thriller. In 2018, the drama made its debut on the service.

The show centres on Joe, a character with a dangerously endearing personality who will go to exceptionally risky lengths to connect with people.

In a Netflix interview, showrunner Gamble explains why Joe has stopped killing in You season 4.

Joe left for Europe under a new name at the end of season 3 in order to start over and forge a brighter future for himself.

Joe, now going by the name Prof. Moore, decided to teach American Literature in London, which is a suitable career for the intelligent menace.

"Finally, he’s in a position that befits his level of understanding of the books he talks about all the time. He’s genuinely good at it and it’s a pleasure for him to do it" the showrunner explained.

"I can say this without spoiling too much: Even when his life is completely falling apart, he still does enjoy teaching class. It’s fun to put someone who knows literary tropes into one of the tropiest stories possible, and it fits nicely with the idea that he’s genuinely going to be different now" he added.
