Did you wolf the second season of You as much as we did?
Well, if you can’t get enough of Joe Goldberg, you’re in luck, because Netflix decided to renew the series for a third season.
The news comes less than three weeks after Season 2 was released, with Season 3 set for a 2021 premiere date.
Season 3 will be 10 episodes long and Penn Badgley (Joe Goldberg) and Victoria Pedretti (Love Quinn) have already confirmed that they will be reprising their roles.
Series co-creators Sera Gamble and Greg Berlanti are also returning as executive producers, and Gamble will return as showrunner.
The first two seasons are based off of Caroline Kepnes’ books You and Hidden Bodies. In the second season, Joe moves from New York to Los Angeles to run away from his past and get a fresh start. He doesn’t expect to meet the woman of his dreams, Love, so soon after his last relationship ended in murder.
You started off on Lifetime, with the second season being moved to Netflix as an original. The third season will also be released by Netflix.
Gamble, the co-writer, confirmed the third season, saying we should expect to see Joe adapting to life in a new environment, just like he did in the previous season.
“We would move the lens for a Season 3, because one of the things that we like about this show is that Joe dives into a different fishbowl every season… Culturally, he’s going somewhere totally different. And his problems are totally different in Season 3,” she said.
The renewal was expected, as You’s second season was No. 5 on Netflix’s top ten list of most popular series in 2019, just a few days after its December 26th release date.
