The actor tells Newsbeat about playing the notorious fictional killer who's now moved to London.
This series also sees the introduction of British actors like new love interest Charlotte Ritchie and Tilly Keeper, who was previously in EastEnders, as a famous It girl."When I found out he was coming to London, I was really quite thrilled," Tilly says.Image source,Tilly as Lady Phoebe and Charlotte as Kate - probably wondering what Joe has in store for themAnd there have been concerns that the show glamorises stalking and male violence against women.
Penn has spoken - at length - about how much he hates Joe, there's even YouTube compilations dedicated to clips of him criticising the character in interviews. Speaking to Newsbeat, Penn clarifies that he doesn't "despise" Joe - but does say that he finds it draining playing the character."Because he's such an unreliable narrator and so inconsistently manic. He's predictably unpredictable.
"But I think more than ever, I probably accept him and I think I think despising him would take up even more energy, which I don't want to give him.""That's a question for the writers. I think the question is, is there another season? "And I think for those who haven't seen it yet, I don't want to spoil whether or not that's possible."
