GHOSTS Star Charlotte Ritchie Joins Penn Badgley in YOU Season 4
Charlotte Ritchie, star of the British series Ghosts, is set to star opposite Penn Badgley in Netflix’s upcoming fourth season of the twisted murder thriller series You.
The series is based on Caroline Kepnes’ best-selling novel and the story follows Joe Goldberg, a man who will do just about anything when love is at stake, including torturing and murdering people.
Season 3 of the series concluded with Joe moving to Paris to search for Marienne (Tati Gabrielle) after a wild season finale. I won’t get into the details of that, though, in case you haven’t seen it.
In Season 4, Ritchie will take on the role of a character named Kate. “She’s fearsomely smart, independent, suspicious, 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.”
It’s explained that when Malcolm invites Joe (Badgley), 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.”
The series was developed by Sera Gamble and Greg Berlanti, with Gamble serving as showrunner. Gamble said in a previous statement: “Reading Caroline’s novel, Greg and I were instantly obsessed with Joe Goldberg and his twisted world view. And it’s been thrilling to watch Penn bring Joe to creepy yet compelling life. We’re deeply grateful that Netflix has shown You such monumental support, and that people around the world have enjoyed watching Joe really get it all very wrong over the past 3 seasons. The whole You team is excited to explore new, dark facets of love in season 4.”
It sounds like You Season 4 is going to be a good one!
