In an announcement shared on Twitter, Nathan responded: “Hey you,” confirming his role on the hit series.
The announcement read: “Nathan Sussex will be appearing in Series 4 of YOU alongside Penn Badgley.
“Part 1 is available to watch on Netflix from February 9th.”
Friends and fans were quick to congratulate the star, with one writing: “Yes Nathan!!! Looking forward to seeing you shine in this!”
A second commented: “Great news Nathan. Can’t wait to see you in this show.”
Another added: “Yes Nathan,” followed by a love heart eye emoji.
Nathan’s character was previously sentenced to prison for six years at the start of 2019 for grooming and abusing teenager Ollie Morgan (Gabriel Clark).
Buster was also put on on trial for abusing Brody Hudson (Adam Woodward) as a child, but the case was eventually thrown out of court.
His previous sinister role means it’s no surprise he is now starring in the drama, following Joe Goldberg – a bookstore manager who stalks a girl named Beck, played by Elizabeth Lail.
The Radio Wales star describes himself in his Instagram bio as: “Welsh and hangs around Cardiff.
“That bald guy from Hollyoaks/ & It’s a Sin Channel 4
