Call us biased, but when we learned that Netflix’s You, with creepy main protagonist Joe Goldberg, would be making its way across the pond to terrorise the unsuspecting folk of London, we were extra excited for the return of the series. Fans will remember that the end of series three saw Joe travel to Paris in pursuit of his most recent ill-fated love interest Marianne, leading some optimistic viewers to speculate there could even be a You/Emily in Paris crossover in the makings, but producers have thrown us all a curve ball with Joe making use of the ever-convenient Eurostar and ending up in The Big Smoke.
It’s been one of Netflix’s runaway hits, on a par with the likes of Stranger Things and Bridgerton. And Joe, with his sinister obsessions and penchant for violent murder, has become the deeply problematic fictional crush we definitely did not need but have embraced all the same.
With the confirmation that the series will arrive in two instalments, the first landing on the streaming site in early February and part two a month later, an extended trailer has dropped and it’s got us seriously excited about how Joe might assimilate with the London elite. He’s somehow managed to land a job as a professor, and has fallen in with a crowd of pseudo-intellectuals and white-collared socialites, so you can be sure this series is going to be full of grisly murders of the absolute finest degree.
One such socialite is Kate, whose last name we’re not yet privy to and who’s played by Charlotte Ritchie.
What else has Charlotte Ritchie been in?
Charlotte is already a very familiar face on UK telly, having made her name primarily on comedy sitcoms like Channel 4’s Fresh Meat – alongside Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas, Jack Whitehouse and Zawe Ashton – and BBC’s Ghosts, where she played the recipient of a derelict country manner which she planned on renovating before realising the home was already occupied by a group of squabbling spirits.
More recently she’s made the shift away from light comedy with roles in Call The Midwife, Grantchester and 2021 psychological thriller feature film, Repeat.
