![]() Joe ends up killing the real Rhys, and that's when the fake Rhys returns on screen, setting forth this wild turn. What sets forth this reveal is Joe going and finding the real Rhys, tying him up in a barn, and torturing him because Kate’s ( Charlotte Ritchie) father, Tom Lockwood ( Greg Kinnear), wants him dead and believes Joe is more than capable of doing so - since he knows all about what transpired in Madre Linda back in Season 3. The killings that were supposedly carried out by him, which include Malcolm ( Stephen Hagan), Simon ( Aidan Cheng), and Gemma ( Eve Austin), were actually all of Joe’s doing - though in his mind, he had removed himself so far from that darkness that he had no clue this other personality of his was actually the one responsible. When viewers see Rhys in Part 1, he actually isn’t there, as the show explains in Part 2. That's because Joe is hallucinating the entire time, with a second personality of his depicted as Rhys Montrose ( Ed Speleers). You believe his anger.The biggest fakeout to date in You is dropped in the eighth episode when it's revealed that Joe was actually behind all of the murders that played out in Part 1. You’d be tempted to make him much more likeable, but he doesn’t do that all the time. Joe is so completely awful and Penn totally commits to that. I did get to know him better later on, though, and it’s so great to watch him delve into the darkest parts of Joe. For those scenes, the less we knew each other the better, really. Also, at that stage, there’s nothing between those two characters-they’re just adversaries so there’s no need for them to be particularly warm or connected. It took a while to get to know each other. When Penn said that, I was like, “Um… thank you.” I was grateful. At that point, we were quite far into filming, but we hadn’t spent that much time together-we’d done a few scenes and in all of them, Kate was telling how much she hated him. I can’t remember, but it was probably something lame, like a fart joke. I read that there was one point on set when he turned to you and said, “Oh, you’re not like your character!” What made him say that? I think that was important, because I think it’d be very easy for me to lean the other way and overdo it. You get a couple moments of Kate being kind of sardonic or spicy, but not all the time. I love that the writers lean into that, and the show is so self-aware and always winking at the audience, but it’s almost like Kate doesn’t get to enjoy that. Well, Kate’s pretty fucking serious a lot of the time. Could you lean into that with Kate, or did you have to play her pretty straight? You has always leaned into its own campiness. Having said that, she can have a good time-she enjoys drinking, she enjoys going out, she enjoys art, she enjoys sex. You get a sense that there’s maybe something in her past that makes her wary of that. That was tricky for me because I’m quite demonstrative with my emotions, so I had to keep thinking, What am I repressing here? There are a few scenes where she opens up a bit about why she’s like that, and I think her biggest fear is having her boundaries overstepped. Her armor is unbelievably strong, and there are moments when a more well-adjusted person might be upset, but for her, there’s a kind of numbness there. The most obvious thing is that she’s chronically unable to express her feelings. Now that you’ve watched the earlier seasons, what sets her apart for you? Kate is very different from Joe’s previous love interests. ![]() And also, I didn’t want to know too much about this character, because Kate doesn’t know anything about this guy, so it’s great to be able to start fresh. I didn’t want to get obsessed to the point where I wouldn’t be able to be normal around Penn. ![]() But I didn’t watch all of it in one go-I actually only did that for the first time last week. I got a sense of the tone of the show and I was so struck by how sharp the writing is, how funny it was, and how layered the performances were. But I decided to audition and found time to go back and watch some of the episodes. So, I was approached to audition and, at first, I was a bit hesitant because I was just coming out of a really busy period of working and in the middle of shooting another show.
