You don’t need to wait for Season 4 of ‘You’ to enjoy new unsettling narration from Joe Goldberg. Just when we thought our cravings for the creepily captivating Netflix series could only be satisfied by rewatching old episodes and exploring various theories, the streaming giant surprised us with a delightful two-minute treat. To promote the upcoming season of the stalker drama, Netflix launched the #NarrateMeJoe challenge on TikTok. Two fortunate fans got a taste of what it would be like if Joe Goldberg set his sights on them, before things inevitably took a dark turn.

The official Netflix TikTok account shared two fan videos featuring a duet with Penn Badgley as the menacing stalker, where he improvises narration in Joe’s voice while observing his potential victims engage in everyday activities. We are both impressed and slightly unnerved by Badgley’s skill at crafting these narratives.

Video Highlights

In the first video, ‘Joe’ watches a TikTok user named Alex clean a vintage sweater. “The first step to fixing something is knowing that, no matter how ruined it appears, it can always be redeemed,” Badgley begins. As the video unfolds, it becomes clear that poor Alex is on the verge of becoming one of Joe’s unfortunate targets, as Badgley continues, “The right mix of tenderness, love, care, and sometimes a dangerously potent dose of industrial-grade bleach can make everything right again.”

The second video, which has garnered over 9 million views and 2 million likes since its release a few days ago, features a TikTok user named Jamie browsing the manga section of a bookstore. Naturally, in this setting, Badgley kicks off his narration with the spine-chilling, “Hello, you.” He then humorously critiques Jamie’s choices, saying, “Beaststars? No, not you. You prefer to explore your moral dilemmas elsewhere.” A friend of Jamie’s follows closely behind, sporting a baseball cap reminiscent of Joe’s style, which Badgley cleverly points out. “You carefully search volume by volume. You’re discerning. I can tell, because I’m just a few feet away from you.”

Fan Reactions

Viewers have expressed strong opinions about these TikToks. Some acknowledge that despite Joe Goldberg’s violent and obsessive nature, there’s an undeniable charm to his narrative voice. It’s somewhat concerning, actually. Others commend the creative approach to promoting the show.

We can only hope that Badgley is inspired to narrate more TikToks while we eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for Joe Goldberg after the rollercoaster of Season 3.
