*MAJOR SPOILERS FOR SEASON 3 OF YOU BELOW!*

The third season of You dropped forever ago at this point, but if you’re here, then there’s a good chance you’ve binged it already and you’re wondering when on god’s green earth we’re getting a season 4. Don’t worry, you’re not alone! As if three seasons of get-under-your-skin-uncomfortable stalkings, brutal murders, and glass-box imprisonments weren’t enough, Netflix is getting ready to do it all again. That’s right, the streaming giant officially confirmed a season 4 of You before the third season even premiered—that’s how confident it is that it’s going to do well.

Here’s everything you need to know about You season 4.

So what is it going to be about?

For those who didn’t know, the show is actually based on a best-selling book of the same name, written by author Caroline Kepnes. The second season was based on the sequel Hidden Bodies and the third on the book You Love Me. Sadly, there isn’t yet a fourth book to go off of, so it’s really anyone’s guess as to what’s going to happen in season 4. You’s showrunner Sera Gamble did give a teeny-tiny teaser in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, saying, “The whole You team is excited to explore new, dark facets of love in season 4.”

And just like season 3, we’ll be heading somewhere new this time around as well. Joe is now in London and has taken on the persona of Professor Jonathan Moore. And it looks like he doesn’t plan to stop doing what he really loves as he also climbs up the ranks in London society while living his new life.

It has started filming though!

We don’t know when the season will hit Netflix, but we do know that production has started and filming has begun!

Yes, there are some new cast members.

Penn Badgley and Tai Gabrielle are back as both Joe Goldberg and Marienne Bellamy this season. However, the rest of the cast is completely new, as revealed by Deadline.

Lukas Gage is playing Adam, “an expat American and 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.”

Charlotte Ritchie is Kate. She is “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. 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.”

Lady Phoebe is played by Tilly Keeper. “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 is 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.”

And rounding out the main cast is 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, although he enjoys staying in touch with his eccentric circle of friends. After all, they were there for him in his troubled youth.”

When will You season 4 come out?

As part of Tudum, Netflix showed off a new teaser for the show and revealed the big news: Season 4 will be split into two parts. That’s right, You is pulling a Stranger Things 4 and will have two release dates. Luckily, there isn’t a long wait between the two parts. Part 1 will be released on February 10 and part 2 will follow up just a (short) month later on March 10.
