Then four episodes in, they gave me a girlfriend and I was like, oh cool."
James then continued to state: "I think Forty would have sex with whoever he decided he wanted to have sex with. Among the new set of cast, including Natasha Behnam, Pete Ploszek, and Tom Francis, the inclusion of Francis and his character’s description has evoked excitement among fans.
According to Deadline, Francis will play a character named Clayton, who is a pretentious, self-absorbed, wannabe author.
RIP messy queer king.
You became a surprise hit for Netflix, upon its premiere in 2018, which follows the story of a bookstore manager named Joe Goldberg, who is also a serial killer. Many fans assumed that Forty is straight because of this but... he's not.
In a recent Q&A via Netflix's official You Instagram account, James Scully answered fan questions about the series and what his experience was like filming season 2.
Speaking of the scene, the actor said: “I found myself surprisingly disgusted like I did not want to do i.” But even though he doesn’t “enjoy nearly everything” about Joe, he finds it interesting how divisive the show ended up being.
You is available to stream on Netflix.

And it was nice being able to play the character even if I was realising retroactively that [he] was sexually fluid where we didn't need to stress that in any way.
James Scully confirms Forty is not straight in You season 2 on Netflix

Forty never states if he is straight, gay or otherwise in You season 2 on Netflix and now James Scully has opened up about it.
James Scully has responded to comments from You fans assuming that Forty is straight in season 2 of the hit Netflix series.
You returned to Netflix with its second season last month (Dec 26) and a brand new set-up for Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley).
However, his vindictive, controlling nature will draw Joe’s attention, who is a homicidal psychopath himself. Based on Caroline Kepnes’ novel by the same name, the Penn Badgley-led show has enjoyed four seasons so far and is set to wrap up with its fifth season, which is rumored to release sometime in 2024.
Even though the fourth entry in the series was seen as a step down in quality, compared to its predecessors, following Tom Francis’ inclusion in the upcoming season, fans are excited.
Fans Are Expecting You Season 5 to Confirm Joe Is Bisexual
With season five set to bring things full circle, as it’ll take place in New York, the location where it all began, a plethora of new faces has been added to the cast.
Having spent the better part of the last two years pumping out articles for FW, Santanu excels at covering movie analysis and news surrounding Pixar, DCU, DreamWorks, and Batman’s cinematic legacy.
With psychological thrillers and intimate slice-of-life dramas ranking among his favorite genres, Santanu is a big admirer of Luca Guadagnino, Shane Black, Park Chan-wook, and Brad Bird.
He then replied: "There actually was.
Love's co-dependent brother Forty (James Scully) also plays a key part in it. I definitely had jobs before where that was a point of contention, but that's when I was like, I'm just not focusing on this.

One fan asked: "Since you're queer, what made you guys decided Forty would be straight?" James then shut down the claim, responding: "We didn't, and he wasn't, and he's not, and he never will be."Discussing Forty's sexuality further with Entertainment Tonight, James was asked if there were conversations about making Forty pansexual.
After murdering Beck (Elizabeth Lail) in season 1 and successfully covering it up, season 2 sees Joe move to LA in a bid to hide from his ex Candace (Ambyr Childers). He has been pursuing a degree in Animation and possesses a deep love for the medium of animation. It was what it was and he was who he was."
In other words, Forty is not straight and him dating Amy/Candace doesn't change that.
He then becomes obsessed with aspiring chef Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti).

Just like season 1, You season 2 is filled with stalking, killing and plenty of shock twists. Candace finds Joe in LA and pretends to be a film producer called Amy. She then starts dating Forty before all hell breaks loose.
Even though the character engages in all sorts of reprehensible actions, including murder and harassment, following the show’s first-person perspective, many enjoy Goldberg as a character.
Sharing his stance on the character, the Gossip Girl star stressed that one shouldn’t admire his You counterpart, explaining that he isn’t someone one should root for to have a happy ending.
He told Vanity Fair:
“We can’t lead ourselves to believe that if Joe would simply find the right person that he would be happy because he’s a f-cking murderer.”
Badgley also recalled the scene in the show that pushed him to his limits as an actor, which involved Joe watching Elizabeth Lail’s Beck while performing a s-x act outside of her window.
Considering that fans have long suspected Penn Badgley‘s Joe to be bisexual, especially following his obsession with Ed Speeler’s Rhys Montrose, fans are hoping for Joe to hook up with Clayton.
Although time will tell if Netflix will lean towards a romantic plotline for the two characters and finally put an end to the theories surrounding Joe’s sexuality, as of now, fans can only wait.
Penn Badgley Isn’t a Fan of Joe Goldberg
Penn Badgley has been pretty vocal about his viewpoints on his You counterpart and the show’s controversy.
