Penn Badgley says his 2-year-old son almost saw a 'really crazy' scene from 'You' after the actor accidentally sat on the TV remote

• Penn Badgley said that his 2-year-old son almost saw a "really crazy" scene from his show "You."
• In the hit Netflix series, Badgley plays a stalker and serial killer.
• Badgley said on "The Tonight Show" that he accidentally sat on the TV remote and turned on Netflix.

"You" star Penn Badgley said his 2-year-old son almost saw a "really crazy" scene from the hit Netflix show in which he plays a serial killer.

Badgley welcomed his first child with his wife Domino Kirke in 2020. The pair married in 2017 after dating for three years.

In an interview on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday, Penn said that his son, James Badgley, is currently unaware of his father's famous role as fictional stalker and killer Joe Goldberg.

"We're gonna have to break that one to him," Badgley said. "There was recently a day where I was doing something really sweet with him in my lap. And then I sat on the remote. You wouldn't think this would [happen], it just went right to Netflix on the TV and my face was right on the TV."

The actor continued: "And he was like, 'Daddy!' and I started to race around because the next thing he was gonna see [was] something really crazy."

Luckily, Badgley said he "got it off" the TV before his son was able to see the full scene.

The final part of the fourth season of "You" premiered last week on Netflix.

In the show, Joe becomes obsessed with numerous women and kills the people around them in an attempt to get closer to them and ultimately control them. This eventually backfires and he has to move to a new city and create a new identity for himself.

In the latest season, the New York Native flies to London and becomes a professor there after killing his wife at the end of season three. However, this time he is embroiled in a murder mystery when members of a privileged group of rich socialites start being killed off by a mystery killer.

In a recent interview with GQ, Badgley said that the next season of "You," which has not yet been confirmed by Netflix, may be the final season.

"I know what Greg pitched me a few years back as what he thought was the right way to end. If there's another one, it's going to be, I think, a grand finale," the "Gossip Girl" star said.

All four seasons of "You" are available on Netflix.
