The "Gossip Girl" actor married wife Domino Kirke in 2017 and he explained recently how the intimacy scenes unnerved him.

The father of one was hesitant to ask Gamble at first because he signed a contract for the show and believed that his request might not be feasible. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it publicly, but one of the main things is, ‘Do I want to put myself back on a career path where I’m always [the] romantic lead?'” Are they doing a lot more than that?” Badgley wondered.

“I asked Sera Gamble, can I just do no more intimacy scenes,” he told his co-host Nava Kaveli. “This is actually a decision I made before I took the show. I don ...

Penn Badgley, star of Netflix's 'You,' asked for fewer sex scenes in Season 4 out of concern for his marriage. He also doesn't want to be typecast.

“So, ‘How much less can you make it,’ was my question to them,” he shared from his conversation with Gamble. Whether it’s the real deal or a part of Joe’s fantasies with his latest stalking obsession, Badgley’s character had plenty of sex on screen in the show’s first three seasons. Since her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, Christina Applegate doesn’t anticipate joining a new series anytime soon. Podcast co-host Kavelin followed up Badgley’s story by talking about actor Neal McDonough, who has made similar requests throughout his career. The boundary had gotten the “Band of Brothers” actor fired from the ABC series “Scoundrels” in 2010 and made it difficult to find work because people thought he was “this religious zealot.” Since then, he has found work in a number of shows including “Justified,” “Arrow,” “Suits,” and “Yellowstone.” Bagdley is also a “

Actor Penn Badgley, star of the hit Netflix show You, reveals in a new interview he made an unorthodox demand about the show's intimate scenes.

She was really glad that I was that honest, and she was sort of almost empowered. Badgley, who famously played the role of Dan Humphrey in the 2007 hit teen drama series Gossip Girl, said “It’s got to the point where I don’t want to do that … “I asked Sera Gamble, creator of the show, ‘Can I just do no more intimacy scenes?’” he said.

She was really glad that I was that honest. "Fidelity in every relationship, and especially in my marriage, is important to me. "She appreciated my directness and that I was being reasonable and practical. She has a son from a previous relationship. To put it plainly, there are far fewer sex scenes — and the change was star Penn Badgley's idea. But sharp-eyed viewers might notice there's a reduced degree of intimacy this season.

Here's a review of Netflix's "You" season four and Penn Badgley's loveable serial killer, Joe.

But the fact is that Joe has always wanted to be seen. Joe is not the pauper. The audience knows he’s at fault; the audience knows of his corroboration and his weaseling out of binds. The real story is how Joe is the catalyst in his own narrative. For allowing him to always narrate his way out of the accountability and the lives he so needs to pay for. The Ghostface of the squad, known as the ‘Eat the Rich Killer,’ begins to play a cat-and-mouse game with Joe. Once the robbery is in place, Joe convinces himself into helping on the behalf of his helpful nature instead of his curiosity. It’s about who Joe truly is and what he’s capable of once he’s no longer hiding. As the destination to rekindling his relationship with Marienne plummets, he seems to have grown—or yearned for the ability to be seen as more than just the k-word. Some say it’ll lead to a holiday across Paris and the sights of London. Love reveals herself to be exactly what Joe swears he isn’t: a killer. Others say it may lead to a burial of miscellaneous bones.

We didn’t make the season to make fun of Americans; we did this to make fun of an American named Joe Goldberg. The conversation we have among the writers, between Greg and I, and a lot with Penn is about the fact that it would be nice to end his arc with some form of justice. And here we are several years later and we’re making a season about an objectively horrible man who is going to do what it takes to redeem himself. When we left at the end of last season, it was Joe skulking around Paris looking for the most recent love of his life, so that, at least theoretically, could have opened the door to a Parisian season of the show. The more we talked about the themes of the season and the kind of people we wanted to have Joe fall in with, the more we realized that it was going to be the beating heart of this old money aristocracy, as viewed through an American lens. It’s always part of the conversation because we are not one of those shows that rests on a pile of money. Episode one of the season, we present you with a murder mystery, a whodunit, and we will tell you who the killer is at the end of the first half. This is a show that is in the tradition of these single-lead shows with a guy who does increasingly bad things. Even in the early conversations with Penn, the idea was not to crank out episodes forever; it’s to feel like we have told the complete story. During the interview, excerpts of which you can read below, Gamble opens up about finding redemption for Badgley’s Joe Goldberg, if the character has to die in the end and how much more life is left in the drama that bounced from Showtime to Lifetime before breaking out on Netflix. How much of that decision was Netflix experimenting with the rollout strategy? We could do just an hour podcast on how I stay up at night worrying that things will be canceled or that we’ll make them and they’ll never see the light of day or they’ll disappear from streaming.
