Netflix’s You is back for a fourth season, as the hotly anticipated series has finally landed on the streaming service. The hit psychological thriller – based on Caroline Kepnes’ best-selling novel of the same name – has proved a huge hit for the streaming giant, with its previous season topping Netflix’s global most-watched list for four weeks following its launch.
You follows brilliant but psychotic bookstore manager Joe Goldberg, as each season he becomes infatuated with a new woman. The dangerously charming Joe uses the internet and social media to gather the most intimate details of his prey to feed a growing and toxic obsession, as he quietly and strategically removes every obstacle – and person – in his way.
Following the events of season three, Joe has moved to London after following Marienne, and is now going by the name Jonathan Moore and masquerading as a professor. Penn Badgley returns in the lead role alongside newcomers to the series Tati Gabrielle, Charlotte Ritchie, Lukas Gage and Ed Speleers.

Also making her You debut is Tilly Keeper in the role of Lady Phoebe Borehall-Blaxworth. Lady Phoebe is a socialite hailing from an aristocratic family, and the best friend of Joe’s new love interest, Kate.
Here, we get to know the actress behind Lady Phoebe and You’s newest star, Tilly Keeper.
Who is Tilly Keeper in You season four?
The 25-year-old London-born actress began her acting career in 2004 by starring in a series of TV adverts. Her first notable role came in 2005 in a stage production of Dick Whittington at London’s Broadway Theatre, in which she played Babe.
She followed this with a return to the Broadway Theatre in 2006 in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs – also playing a character named Babe – and in 2009 musical Oliver at the Theatre Royal, in which she played ‘Workhouse Child’.

Her first TV role came in 2008 with an appearance in ITV’s The Bill, in which she was credited simply as ‘School Girl’. She had a minor role as a dancer in 2014 British comedy Cuban Fury, alongside Nick Frost and Chris O’Dowd.
But she is perhaps best known to British viewers as EastEnders’ Louise Mitchell – the daughter of Phil Mitchell and Lisa Shaw – a role she played in 392 episodes between 2016 and 2020. Tilly’s performance in the soap earned her a nomination for best newcomer at the 2017 National Television Awards, but she ultimately lost out to Coronation Street’s Faye Brookes.
Following her departure from Albert Square, Tilly had a supporting role in the BBC film Make Me Famous, created and written by Reggie Yates. She followed this up in 2021 with the short films True Colours and Do This For Me, before starring in British psychological thriller Marooned Awakening in 2022, in which she played the girlfriend of the main character.
That same year, Tilly enjoyed a supporting role in R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned, the straight-to-video prequel to Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds’ 2013 supernatural action-comedy. Just months after its release, the actress made her Netflix debut in You, as part one of season four dropped on February 9.
Tilly has said she is “very attached” to Lady Phoebe, a character she describes as “lovely and genuine.” Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar about the role, she said: “After I left EastEnders, I had quite a few auditions for Ladies of London. I wasn’t getting them, and then Phoebe came through, and I was like, ‘I want this one’.
“I enjoyed playing the upper-class-removed-from-reality character and poking fun at it. With Phoebe, she’s privileged, and she’s unaware of any real-world problems. Her main problem is booking in a blow-dry or making sure her boyfriend texted back!
“But there was a caveat of her being lovely and genuine. All she wants is to feel accepted, seen, and loved. I felt very attached to her.”
Episodes one to five of You season four are available to stream on Netflix now. Episodes six to ten will drop on Thursday, March 9 at 8am.
