Filming for the highly anticipated fourth season of You resumed last month.

And Penn Badgley, who leads the series as Joe Goldberg, was photographed in London performing some of the final scenes of the new season on Friday.

The actor was also caught climbing onto the edge of the bridge railing during what appeared to be tense scenes.

Penn donned a pale green shirt covered in dirt for filming, which matched khaki pants.

During the scene, he spoke to a man in a navy suit, with the pair appearing emotional during the exchange – grabbing each other’s faces before sharing a hug.

But other footage showed the two actors engaged in a heated conversation, shooting each other stern looks, before what appeared to be a physical fight on the bridge.

Penn’s co-star turned to look across the bridge with an extremely distressed look on his face as he gazed out at the water.

Before his own character starts scaling the bridge, he stands on the edge while holding on to a catenary.

Earlier this month, Penn was spotted kissing new co-star Charlotte Ritchie for the Season 4 scenes as it appears he has another love interest.

The third season of You ended on a dark and dramatic note when Joe decided to flee his suburban life, kill his girlfriend Love and abandon their child.

While the new season doesn’t have a release date yet, showrunner Sera Gamble teased that Joe could be in for more trouble.

In March it was reported that former EastEnders star Tilly Keeper was among several British soap stars joining the case for season four of You, which began filming after season three was critically acclaimed last year .

Penn will be joined by Dario Coates, 29, who played Alex Neeson, son of Kym Marsh’s Michelle Connor in Coronation Street, and Eve Austin, who portrayed Tabitha Taylor-Rudd in Emmerdale.

A TV insider told the publication: “This will come as a huge surprise to the show’s millions of fans around the world, who have become accustomed to the first three seasons taking place in different locations across the US.

“The last thing they expected was the next gig going by any means across the Atlantic and featuring a mostly British cast.”

The series is based on the best-selling novels You, Hidden Bodies and You Love Me by Caroline Kepnes.
