There's something horribly captivating about You on Netflix. Loosely adapted from the book series of the same name by American author Caroline Kepnes, you invite us to the spirit of love psycho Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley). The problem is that Joe has an unhealthy fixation on every one of his partners, causing him to do some pretty wild things in the name of love. Throughout the first two seasons of the show, we saw him lie, manipulate, and even work his way into the hearts of unsuspecting victims in a way that was disturbing and strangely captivating. Although a show with a theme like this should be more controversial, you're clearly a huge hit with the Netflix audience. After being dropped by the Lifetime cable network in the United States, the show was bought by Netflix in late 2018. The second season was watched by 54 million viewers in its first month on the service alone. transmission (well, 54 million people watched at least a few minutes of episode one, anyway). Its season 3 was announced on January 14, with another series renewal helped by a production tax credit of more than €7 million. We'll explore more of the twisted lives of Joe and his new partner, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), after an incredibly unpredictable Season 2 finale. Next, we'll explain when Season 3 is coming to Netflix and recap everything we know so far. about the next series of episodes.
Season 3 Release Date: Expect 2021
See you soon, neighbor. You S3 is coming.
Netflix has not confirmed an exact release date for You season 3, but when the news of the renewal broke on TVLine, it was revealed that 10 new episodes would arrive in 2021. The official Twitter page of the series exhibited a tongue-in-cheek tone. in early January, simply by saying "New Year, New You," a cute play on You's second season's pseudo-self-improvement commentary. While this essentially sentences viewers to a full year before they can return to Joe and Love, it's nice to know that a new season is definitely in the works at a time when Netflix isn't afraid to cancel its original broadcasts.You cast of season 3: Joe and love will return
While there's no word yet on the start of production for season 3, we have confirmation for two cast members: Badgley will return while Joe and Victoria Pedretti will return as Love. Love's continued presence in Joe's life was pretty sure given the season two finale with the couple in a rather unholy union (more on what that twist means for season 3 below). I hope we'll also see the return of the extended cast of Quinn's family and friends from season 2. It's likely that he will continue to be set in Los Angeles for the foreseeable future. With the aforementioned tax breaks for production in California and a season two finale that saw Joe adjust to life in an idyllic suburban home, it's safe to assume that season three won't involve a change of location like moving from season two. from New York to Los Angeles.Season 3 story: what to expect next year
The second season of You dramatically stepped up the melodrama, deviating from the books with a rather shocking character. When Love is forced to confront Joe's true nature by her first victim, Candace, she takes the news in a way few have seen coming: by stabbing Candace in the throat. It was jaw-dropping for a while, revealing that love is just as obsessive and murder-prone as Joe. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Badgley offers a glimpse into the gender politics the series explores through Joe's rejection of his partner's darker tendencies. "...it's like; OK yeah, theoretically they're the same, but then he denies it, which again shows the archetypes of man and woman and Oppression of women, inequality of men and women," says Badgley. He goes on to hint at a closer look at love in season three, noting that she: "...doesn't seem like the same kind of person, doesn't seem like the same kind of predator." It's not just Love that season three plans to question more deeply. Showrunner Sera Gamble also envisions an even darker future for Joe. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gamble explained that the season 2 finale does not indicate good things for our leading man.

We see the two move to the suburbs (with Love's mother in tow) and this is where Joe spies his new neighbor over the fence, a possible new theme of his obsessive nature. "I think the biggest thing about this last scene is just the confirmation that Joe is still Joe," says Gamble, "in a way that's not going to be great for Joe." What motivates Joe, and what makes us feel about his actions, was clearly Gamble's vision for season two, which saw a deep dive into Joe and Love's traumatic childhoods. Although their stories are quite different, we learn that the two leaders suffered physical and emotional abuse and acts of violence at a very young age. The ending was designed to create "a much more suburban, insular world where Joe would be a complete fish out of water." The way Joe handles fatherhood will be an interesting part of next season: the past two seasons have shown that he's particularly protective of the children in his life. Badgley told TVLine that Joe and Love "aren't soul mates. He's scared of her at the end. He's basically set up for season 3 in a way that they'd be there." sworn enemy of the other." That's a lot of potential material for season 3 of you to explore.
