However, things seem to change rapidly when several murders begin to take place around Joe. Until this point, it seems that the show has changed its thematic content but then something shocking happens - Joe receives a text from an apparent stalker. This changed the entire dynamic of the series, leading to many reactions from fans across the world.

Several individuals took to the comments section of the trailer shared by the official Twitter handle of the show and shared their thoughts about the same.

You captivated fans for three seasons with its numerous twists and turns. It seems that the new season of the show will feature the biggest twist of them all, role reversal. This new dynamic seems to have made fans of the show very excited.

It seems fans of You are just as impressed with the new plot, which will see Joe turn into a detective-like character investigating the murders.

Penn Badgley previously indicated that the fourth season will be quite different from the previous ones. He previously said in an interview with Collider:

"So I think for the next season, my conversations with Sera are really, I think, the most exciting so far because I think we're really going to get into that. And the next season could be quite different. It really could be quite different."

You season 4 will be split into two parts, with the first part premiering on February 9, 2023, on Netflix.
