Ex-EastEnders star Tilly Keeper 'joins Netflix's You' as filming for fourth series begins

EastEnders star Tilly Keeper is reportedly joining the fourth season of Netflix hit You.

The actress, who played Louise Mitchell in the BBC soap for four years until she left in 2020, has been filming for the drama, according to reports.

Filming for You has already started, and it is being filmed in the UK, rather than the US.

Tilly is reportedly set to join Dario Coate - who plays Alex Neeson in Corrie - and Eve Austin - who plays Tabitha Taylor-Rudd in Emmerdale, alongside Penn Badgley, who plays the lead Joe Goldberg.

A source told The Sun: "This will come as a huge surprise to the millions of fans of the show around the world, who got used to the first three seasons being based in various locations in the US.

"The last thing they would have expected was for the next outing to move lock, stock and barrel across the Atlantic and feature a largely British cast.

"But the producers wanted to provide a fresh take on the show, though Joe will no doubt be going back to his dark deeds when he arrives in London."

Filming for the fourth season is said to be taking place in and around London.

Tilly previously played the role of Louise in EastEnders from 2016 to 2020.

She bowed out of the soap when she left Walford with mum Lisa.

Louise confessed her involvement in Keanu Taylor's murder and was struggling with the birth of her daughter Peggy.

Speaking to The Sun Online after her departure, Tilly said: "I have loved playing Louise Mitchell over these past few years, and I feel honoured to have been part of such an iconic show.

"Working with our incredible cast and crew has been a joy and I shall miss my EastEnders family greatly."

Executive producer Jon Sen added: "Tilly has been an incredible asset to the EastEnders cast and a wonderful company member. Her portrayal of Louise Mitchell over the past years has been a joy to watch.

"We wish her well in all her future endeavours."

Netflix's You will be her next big acting project.

The Mirror has contacted Tilly's representative for a comment.
