Warning: This post contains spoilers from season 4 ofYou.
Penn Badgleybelieves there’s still more story to tell onYou.
The second half of the Netflix hit’s fourth season, released Thursday, concluded with Badgley’s Joe Goldberg getting away with an assortment of crimes once again. This time around, Joe — who had recently been living under the pseudonym Jonathan Moore — kidnapped former girlfriend Marienne Bellamy (Tati Gabrielle), though she later escaped after pretending to overdose on pills.

While Joe’s story reached a seemingly tidy conclusion in the fourth season finale, Badgley exclusively tells PEOPLE his hopes for exploring things further.
“I feel like it’s building towards a greater resolution,” says Badgley, 36. “That’s what I want for Joe … because now, the circumstances are actually different. He has a level of power and wealth that he’s never had.”
TheGossip Girlalum continues, “With Love, he technically had wealth and he was adjacent to some power, but he hated it and he didn’t take it for his own. Whereas now, he seems to be embracing it and taking it for his own. And to be honest, that’s sort of terrifying prospect.”
Badgley says it’s “an evolution of the whole conceit.”
“It’s interesting,” he adds. “I definitely want to see where it goes.”
Like Badgley, Gabrielle is interested in seeing what happens next for Marienne — and whether she will work to help catch Joe.
“I would love to see Marienne come back because I feel that though she was able to get out alive and be with her daughter, and she is able to live a peaceful life now, Joe thinks she’s dead,” she explains.
“But I feel like something just still doesn’t sit right with her in her moral compass, the fact that he is still out there and is not facing any consequences for the things that he’s done,” she explains. “So I would be interested to see Marienne come back and break Nadia out and go and do the thing. But we’ll see.”
