   (Spoilers Ahead)

   The last season of YOU was a crazy one, with Joe Goldberg taking up a post at a British University in the hopes of finding his love obsession Marienne (Tati Gabrielle).

   However, it doesn't take long until Joe (who takes on the persona of Jonathan Moore) to get involved with a group of wealthy elites, where a mystery killer is taking them out one by one.

   The mystery killer is revealed to be a figment of his own imagination, and he also has Marienne hostage in the glass box used throughout the series.
