Netflix’s hit show You has been renewed for a second season after season one had fans hooked on Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), and his stalker ways.
WATCH: the trailer for ‘YOU’ below:
You is based off the Caroline Kepnenovel of the same name, following New York City based bookstore manager Joe Goldberg, as he falls in ‘love’ with Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail).
We watch as Joe unravels throughout the season, and SPOILER ALERT – murders Beck.
Here’s what we know about season two so far…
Joe is going to be even more twisted
In an interview with ET Online, Penn reveals that filming a lot of his scenes were difficult.
“It’s the ones where I’m trying to embody Joe really living in that house, really having these rare moments of coming to terms with what he’s done, and that’s far more difficult than committing a certain act in a moment, whether it’s hitting Shay Mitchell over the head with a rock or stabbing someone in the neck.
“There are some things I’ve done with prosthetic bodies in this [new] season that were kind of nauseating as I did them, I will say that.”
Season two follows the novel’s sequel
As season one was based on the novel You, season two follows its sequel Hidden Bodies. This book dives into more of Joe’s early life.
The summary of the book reveals: “Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies.
“In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Now he’s heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him.
“In Hollywood, Joe blends in effortlessly with the other young upstarts. He eats guac, works in a bookstore, and flirts with a journalist neighbour.
“But while others seem fixated on their own reflections, Joe can’t stop looking over his shoulder. The problem with hidden bodies is that they don’t always stay that way. They re-emerge, like dark thoughts, multiplying and threatening to destroy what Joe wants most: truelove.
“And when he finds it in a darkened room in Soho House, he’s more desperate than ever to keep his secrets buried. He doesn’t want to hurt his new girlfriend—he wants to be with her forever. But if she ever finds out what he’s done, he may not have a choice.”
Joe’s next love obsession will be A LOT different to Beck
Love Quinn will be Joe’s next victim. She is played by Haunting of Hill House actress Victoria Pedretti, and Penn is SO keen for her story to unfold.
Penn said: “I’m really excited for people to get to know Love. She adds a dimension that hasn’t existed yet.
“There’s a side to Joe that we haven’t seen yet because her character, in some ways, is the polar opposite of Beck.
“Joe was always trying to get Beck’s attention, sort of almost against her own instincts and will, whereas Joe is trying to be better. And Love won’t let him say “no” to her, even though he’s trying desperately.
“It’s very different between Joe and Love than it was with Beck, and thank god, because you can’t do that again. That would just be brutal. To me, that would be irresponsible if we did the same thing again.”
When does season two premiere??
Netflix can confirm that the next season will return by September/October 2019.
