Shows that are able to focus on love, mystery, and crime so effortlessly are few and far between. Netflix's YOU is a thrilling TV show that deserves all the respect and clout in the world. Penn Badgley takes the lead in this ultra-creepy, super addictive show about a young man who obsessively pursues love.
Penn Badgley has come a long way since his Gossip Girl days even though the characters he plays on the two shows have a few major similarities. With Season 2 in the bag, fans are wondering when they will see Season 3 and what it will be about.
The 3rd Season Will Be Based On Caroline Kepnes' 3rd Novel
Many people might not know that Netflix's YOU is actually based on a novel series by an incredibly talented author named Caroline Kepnes. Her third novel will carry out the continued storyline. Shows and movies based on books are usually great.
For people who want season 3 spoilers ahead of time, her novel is the first place to look. Reading novels to figure out a movie or TV shows storyline is a fun way to prepare and Carol Kepnes has made that possible.
Penn Badgley Is Returning As Joe Goldberg
Penn Badgley is an awesome actor and seeing him take on the role of Joe Goldberg proves how talented he is. The character is super creepy and weird -- playing him can't be easy for Badgely but somehow he is able to pull it off.
Badgley has expressed many times that he does not approve of his character's behaviors or actions but that does not stop him from playing the part and playing it well.
Victoria Pedretti Is Returning As Love Quinn
By the time viewers finished season 2 of Netflix's YOU, they were able to uncover the fact that Love Quinn was just as crazy as Joe Goldberg. Victoria Pedretti is the actress behind the role of Love Quinn.
Knowing that she will be returning for the third season makes it so much more exciting. The last audiences saw of Love Quinn, she was pregnant with Joe Goldberg's child. Fans might find out if the baby actually belongs to her other ex-boyfriend.
According To Season 2's Finale, Joe Will Have A New Target
At the end of the second season, fans saw Joe Goldberg staring at the back of a woman's head with a whole lot of admiration. He was looking at her in the exact same way we have seen him creepily look at women before.
He stared at the character of Beck that way and he also stared at Love Quinn that way. Chances are, Joe Goldberg's intentions are not great because every time he finds interest in someone new, things start to go awry.
Season 3 Won't Make It To Netflix Until 2021
It is looking like eager YOU fans will have to be extra patient because no one is laying eyes on season 3 until some time in 2021. 2021 isn't so far away, but it still feels like quite a bit of a wait.
The exact release date has not yet been announced so as far as fans know, it can be expected at the beginning of next year or at the end. Here's to hoping that the third season comes sooner than later.
Producer Sera Gamble Has The Most "Exciting" Idea For The 3rd Season
Producer Sera Gamble told Cosmopolitan UK, "I will say that we have an idea for season three that is SO exciting that people talk about it in the [writer's] room every day." What sort of idea might she have?
No one knows for sure but if the first seasons are any indication, her idea is most likely an epic one. Whatever plotline the third season follows is going to be amazing.
Season 3 Most Likely Won't Be The Last Season
According to THR, show producer Sera Gamble said, "I am not scared at all of saying that we definitely could follow Joe for several more seasons." It sounds like fans might be able to follow Joe way past season 3.
Gamble went on to say, "Because we believe in the world that Caroline gave us and we believe in these characters, we just know they'll keep finding really f**ked up shit to get into." She was referring to author Caroline Kepnes novel series and she is definitely correct.
The Mystery Woman Is Definitely Not Joe's Mother
Fans have come up with plenty of theories while awaiting the third season and one of those theories is about the woman Joe admiring being his mother.
Penn Badgley shut that theory down real quick. He told Bustle, "She's definitely not his mum. I can say that." It would be very creepy if he was admiring his mother that way so it's good news to hear that the women he saw in season 2's finale is not the woman who bore him.
Jenna Ortega Doesn't Know If The Character Of Ellie Alves Is Returning
Jenna Ortega is the young Disney Channel actress behind the role of Ellie Alves. She told Insider, "I don't think her storyline has fully run its course and I say this because the writers have been so brilliant in the way that they left so many possibilities open." Viewers are hoping to see her return.
With Penn Badgley and Victoria Pedretti being the only two confirmed for season 3, a lot is still up in the air. One thing viewers know for sure? Ellie's storyline is nowhere near finished.
They Will Start Filming Season 3 In November 2020
In November of 2020, filming for season 3 will begin. It was delayed because of the pandemic but the cast and crew are getting ready to start filming very soon. YOU was one of the shows affected by current worldwide events.
November 2020 is not too far away and if all goes as planned, the third season will be able to premiere sooner than later in 2021 for everyone to enjoy.
