Everything We Know About You Season 2 So Far

People just can't get enough of Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley). And while their complete devotion to a serial killer should be questioned, that's not stopping Netflix from serving up a second helping of TV's creepiest bachelor.


Netflix's newly procured macabre psychological thriller You was a runaway hit any time it hit the streaming service late last year, fresh from Lifetime. You rapidly elevated to binge-worthy status thanks to the drama's roller coaster ride filled with lies, stalking, and the most alluring serial killer the world's seen since Dexter.


whenever because the opening season wrapped, viewers wanted more. Luckily, there's a second season coming. Yet you can't tune in just however, it'll be hitting Netlix — this time as a Netflix Original — very soon. Here's everything we know about You Season 2 so far.


Spoiler alert! This article contains spoilers for the opening season of You.


The show's currently in production


Netflix took to social media to let fans of You know that Season 2 officially went into production on February 15, just a day soon after Valentine's Day — because, you know, Joe is such a romantic. We got a number of sneak peeks from some of the cast at the table read. As it stands, they're still shooting the season, so @we could be looking at the show being finished a couple of months from right now. Hopefully.


Penn Badgley is returning to reprise the role of Joe


Yep, Joe is coming back for an encore. Badgley will reprise the role in a task to create absolutely each person as uncomfortable as humanly possible. Though, his casting was probably a given by right now — because he practically makes the series, and the actor's social media presence IRL is even more swoon-worthy


There's a host of new (and old) characters joining the cast


Victoria Pedretti, also referred to as Nell from Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House, will be joining the second season of You. She'll be playing Love Quinn, an aspiring chef working to rise via ranks as a produce manager at a food store. While she meets Joe, she takes a particular interest in him that we'll visualize play out throughout the season — and yes it looks like she may very well be filling the Beck-shaped hole left in Joe's life.


Comedian Chris D'Elia (Undateable) was recently tapped, by way of the Deadline, to play Henderson, a comedian with a penchant for black Ray-Bans and expensive shoes. It's unclear if he'll play a similar role to the one he was given in the novel the season is based on (Hidden Bodies), however it sounds like he'll symbolize the world-weary hipster the show will be looking for to balance out its "good vs. Evil" concept.


Robin Lord Taylor (Gotham) will be joining the case in a recurring role as Will, who's described as a mindful, personable, and rather intelligent guy." Unfortunately, he soon becomes "trapped in a bad situation." Like befriending Joe? That's a bad time for each person. The Penguin (Taylor's role on Gotham) could just be being buddy buddy with another sort of villain outdoor the confines of the gritty city.


Russian Doll star Charlie Barnett has also joined the cast as Love's best friend, Gabe. We don't know much else about Gabe, however soon after seeing Barnett's emotional span in Russian Doll, we're intrigued to be able to see more.


There's also rumblings that Joe's ex-girlfriend Candace (Ambyr Childers) will have a significant part to play in the season, as she's been advertised to a series usual. That demonstrates we should be learning a thing or two more about Joe's checkered past, or at least we hope so.


Joe is eventually going to have to answer to the crimes of his past


Everything Joe did in Season 1 — like, mention, stalking and eventually murdering Beck — will come back to haunt him, including framing Dr. Nicky (John Stamos) for murder and the untimely death of fan-favorite Peach Salinger (Shay Mitchell). We don't know what exactly will be Joe's downfall, or if Joe will face any consequences for his heinous actions. Yet that tension should ratchet up speedily as we continue to wonder what might befall our wicked narrator.


Much of the season will play out in Los Angeles


In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, showrunner Sera Gamble spoke the happenings of Hidden Bodies.  The second season is meant to mirror the book, which finds Joe traveling to L.A. It sounds like a terrible idea for him, also it categorize kind of is.


He makes his way there and becomes instantly disgusted by the culture. For example: Things like the way someone drinks their Diet Dr. Pepper, ties their hair in a bun, and lifts their shirt to show off their belly is "why you must kill people," Joe says in the novel. We're, uh, not inclined to agree, however you do you, Joe.


There's still no release date yet


Unfortunately, there's no release date for Season 2 — however. According to the official You Instagram page, we can look forward to it "coming soon." Given the announcements we're seeing about the new characters and actors attached to the series though, it's possible we may visualize it sooner rather than later.


From everything we can ascertain about the new season, You is once again going to deliver spine-tingling chills and light the world wide web ablaze with think pieces. Will Penn Badgley outdo himself this time? Probably.


You's second season will be airing on Netflix soon, and we'll ensure to keep you up to date on any time to clear your schedule and settle in for a night with Mr. Goldberg (at your own risk, of course).
