“As I step back from day-to-day showrunning to focus on new projects, I’m immensely grateful to co-creator and all-around genius Greg Berlanti, Caroline Kepnes, my friends at Berlanti Productions and Alloy Entertainment, and our steadfast partners at Warner Bros and Netflix,” Gamble said in a statement, according to TV Line.

“Making the show alongside our writers, producers, directors, cast, and crew has been an honor and ridiculously fun. And I feel lucky to have worked with an artist as gifted and thoughtful as Penn Badgely,” Gamble added.

“We’re excited — and a bit terrified — to see how it all ends for Joe Goldberg, but one thing is for sure: You are in for an unforgettable ending.”

You Season 4 sees Joe relocate to London and become the professor, Jonathan Moore, in a renewed attempt to start over. However, Joe’s past comes back to haunt him, and he ends up where everything started in Season 1 — New York City.

You Season 4 is streaming on Netflix now.
