While we have not heard a lot about all issues You season 3, we do know that Caroline Kepnes, the writer behind the novels from which the present is impressed, has completed the third guide within the collection. So a lot in order that, on Twitter she says she “saw possible covers” in August. So in the event you’re determined for more You forward of season 3, preserve an eye fixed out for that.

You season 3 cast: Joe and Love will return

Most importantly by way of casting, we now have affirmation of two returning cast members: Badgley will return as Joe, and Victoria Pedretti as Love. The continued presence of Love in Joe’s life was a fairly certain factor given how season two ended, with the couple in a fairly unholy union (more on what that twist means for season 3 under). Hopefully, we’ll see the return of the prolonged cast of Quinn household and associates from season 2 as nicely.

We’ll even be getting a brand new face within the form of Scott Speedman (Animal Kingdom, Underworld. According to Deadline, “Speedman will play Matthew, a successful CEO, husband, and uncommunicative father. He’s reserved, at times mysterious, and has a tendency to be withdrawn, all of which masks a deep well of emotion underneath.” 

Speedman joins the opposite new cast members: Travis Van Winkle and Shalita Grant. Grant is to play a imply woman who feels threatened by Love, who places on a entrance as a pleasant ‘Momfluencer’. Van Winkle can be Cary, a rich, charming “Master of Self-Optimization”. With Cary and Matthew round, Joe has some more competitors within the eligible bachelor division.

You season 3 story: what to anticipate subsequent 12 months

Season 2 of You drastically stepped up the melodrama, diverging from the books with a fairly surprising character reveal. When Love is compelled to confront Joe’s true nature by his first sufferer, Candace, she takes the information in a manner few individuals noticed coming – by stabbing Candace within the throat. 

It was a jaw-dropper of a second, revealing that Love is as obsessive and inclined towards homicide as Joe is. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Badgley provides some perception into the gender politics the present explores via Joe’s rejection of his companion’s darkest tendencies. 

“…it’s like, ‘OK yeah, theoretically they’re the same – but then he denies her, which again brings up the archetypes of man and woman and the oppression of women, the inequality of men and women,” Badgley says. He goes on to trace at a deeper look into Love in season three, noting that she: “…she doesn’t appear to be the same kind of person, she doesn’t appear to be the same kind of predator.”

It’s not simply Love that season three plans to interrogate more totally. Showrunner Sera Gamble is planning a fair darker future for Joe, too. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gamble talked about how the ending of season 2 would not point out good issues for our protagonist. 

In the wake of Love’s revelations of homicide, she additionally surprises Joe with the information that she is now carrying his youngster, securing her future with him (for now). We see the 2 transfer to the suburbs (with Love’s mom in tow) and it is right here that Joe spies his new neighbor via the fence – a attainable new topic of his obsessive nature. 

“I think to me, the most important thing about that last scene is just it is confirmation that Joe is still Joe,” Gamble says, “in a way that’s not going to be great for Joe.” What drives Joe, and how that makes us really feel about his actions, was clearly Gamble’s imaginative and prescient for season two, which noticed an in depth dive into the traumatic childhoods of each Joe and Love. Even although their histories are fairly completely different, we study that each leads skilled bodily and emotional abuse in addition to perpetrating acts of violence at a really younger age. 

The finale was designed to arrange, “a much more suburban, insular world where Joe would be a complete fish out of water”. How Joe handles fatherhood can be an fascinating factor of subsequent season – the previous two seasons have proven that he is notably protecting of the youngsters in his life.

Badgley informed TVLine that Joe and Love are “not soulmates. He’s afraid of her at the end. Basically, it’s set up for season 3 in a way where they would be each other’s arch nemesis.” That’s a number of potential materials for You season 3 to discover. 

You may run for even more seasons on Netflix

Joe’s story will not essentially be full with season 3, both. “I am not scared at all of saying that we definitely could follow Joe for several more seasons,” Gamble informed THR. Don’t fear concerning the writers operating out of the way to check their protagonists, both. “Because we believe in the world that Caroline gave us and we believe in these characters, we just know they’ll keep finding really fucked up shit to get into.”

You is a one-of-a-kind present

No matter the place the twisted romance of Joe and Love takes us subsequent, Netflix clearly has a responsible pleasure smash on its arms. Author Caroline Kepnes is at present exhausting at work on books three and 4 in her You collection, which implies that You season 3 may face a Game of Thrones-style dilemma in outpacing the supply materials. 

You is only a contemporary, attractive and considerably harmful present. It takes the thrilling complicity in horrible acts seen within the present Hannibal, and completely matches it with biting millennial satire. Naturally, it is generated controversy for its darkish material, however Gamble has managed to navigate the present’s themes with a deft contact, giving viewers a twisted and compelling present.

Bring on season 3.
