YOU season 4 episode 6 return date: Why the wait?
In general, we think the move to split this season into halves is surprising when you think about the streaming service’s typical pattern of giving you all of the episodes at once. They are the people who really revolutionized the whole model of binge-watching and convincing viewers to check out a whole season at once. Are they moving away from that?

For the time being, let’s just go ahead and say that the answer to that is a little bit complicated. We don’t think that Netflix is ever going to completely abandon their old identity. However, they may also be starting to recognize the value in keeping people subscribed for more than a month to watch a show they enjoy.
Beyond just that, there is also another consideration here: Actually having people talk about a show for a little while longer than just a week or two. One of the real challenges with the binge model is that it’s so easy to just move from one show to the next at a pace that leaves some forgotten. For a show like YOU, we do think there is some value in having the story told in halves — you still give people something to binge, but also leave them wanting a little bit more. Isn’t this the best of both worlds?
At least the break in the middle isn’t an extremely long one, as you are going to have a chance to see the second half kick off in March. At some point in between it would be great to have a formal season 5 renewal, but we’ll have to wait and see if that happens.
