Description:
You season 3 is confirmed to release on Netflix in 2021. This is everything
we know about the twisted thriller's next season.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

You season 3 finished filming in April 2021, and Netflix has confirmed that a release date is set for the final three months of this year. While we're not sure exactly when that'll be yet, it's exciting news for fans of Netflix's twisted, soapy drama, especially since it's been almost two years since we last checked in on the dark story of Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley).

You wasn't a hit when Netflix got the streaming rights. Starting out as a modest success on Lifetime in the US, Netflix turned the show into a monster success, meaning that anticipation for this third season is incredibly high. The producers have drawn praise for turning what could've been a deeply problematic show about obsession into a deep, character-led drama.

While we don't know You season 3's precise release date yet, there's a lot to talk about already below, we'll round up everything we know about the show's return so far. That includes how season 2 ended, which new cast members are coming in season 3, and where we expect the story to go next.

Netflix officially confirmed that You season 3 will release in the second
half of 2021 in a letter to investors. That's a relief for fans waiting to
see how Joe's descent continues. In a follow-up conversation captured by Deadline , Netflix narrowed the official release date down to the last
quarter of 2021 so some time between October and the end of December.

You season 3 resumed filming in November 2020, and officially wrapped filming on April 24, 2021, according to the show's official Twitter account: dont worry we have eyes on joe at all times. happy S3 wrap pic.twitter.com/IriRlToUc2 April 24, 2021 See more

That means the show should have no problem hitting its late 2021 release
date.

While we haven't heard much about You season 3's story yet, we do know that Caroline Kepnes, the author behind the novels from which the show is
inspired, has finished the third book in the series. You Love Me was
published in April 2021, continuing the story. You season 3 cast: 13 new characters have been added

In November 2020, we got a huge number of new You season 3 cast announcements (see all their character backgrounds at Variety ). Here's the core cast, including the 13 new names, the fresh cast members they'll join, and the returning faces: Penn Badgely: Joe Victoria Pedretti: Love Scott Speedman: Matthew Travis Van Winkle: Cary Shalita Grant: Sherry Saffron Burrows: Dottie Dylan Arnold: Theo Tati Gabrielle: Marienne Michaela McManus: Natalie Shannon Chan-Kent: Kiki Ben Mehl: Dante Chris O'Shea: Andrew Christopher Sean:
Brandon Bryan Safi: Jackson Mackenzie Astin: Gil Ayelet Zurer: Dr Chandra
Jack Fisher: Young Joe Goldberg Mauricio Lara: Friend of Young Joe

In 2020, we got confirmation of two (obvious) returning cast members: Badgley will return as Joe, and Victoria Pedretti as Love. The continued presence of Love in Joe's life was a pretty sure thing given how season 2 ended, with the couple in a pretty unholy union (more on what that twist means for season 3 below). Hopefully, we'll see the return of the extended cast of Quinn family and friends from season 2 as well.

We'll also be getting a new face in the shape of Scott Speedman (Animal Kingdom, Underworld. According to Deadline , "Speedman will play Matthew, a successful CEO, husband, and uncommunicative father. Hes reserved, at times mysterious, and has a tendency to be withdrawn, all of which masks a deep
well of emotion underneath."

Speedman joins the other new cast members: Travis Van Winkle and Shalita Grant. Grant is to play Sherry, a mean girl who feels threatened by Love, who puts on a front as a friendly 'Momfluencer'. Van Winkle will be Cary, a wealthy, charming "Master of Self-Optimization". With Cary and Matthew
around, Joe has some more competition in the eligible bachelor department.

Season 2 of You drastically stepped up the melodrama, diverging from the
books with a pretty shocking character reveal. When Love is forced to
confront Joe's true nature by his first victim, Candace, she takes the news
in a way few people saw coming by stabbing Candace in the throat.

It was a jaw-dropper of a moment, revealing that Love is as obsessive and inclined toward murder as Joe is. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight , Badgley offers some insight into the gender politics the show explores through Joe's rejection of his partner'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 hint 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 just Love that season three plans to interrogate more thoroughly. Showrunner Sera Gamble is planning an even darker future for Joe, too. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Gamble talked about how the ending of season 2 doesn't indicate good things for our protagonist. (Image credit: Tyler Golden/Netflix)

In the wake of Love's revelations of murder, she also surprises Joe with the news that she is now carrying his child, securing her future with him (for now). We see the two move to the suburbs (with Love's mother in tow) and it's here that Joe spies his new neighbor through the fence a possible new
subject 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 feel about his actions, was clearly Gamble's vision for season two, which saw an extensive dive into the traumatic childhoods of both Joe and Love. Even though their histories are pretty different, we learn that both leads experienced physical and emotional abuse as well as perpetrating acts of violence at a very young age.

The finale was designed to set up, "a much more suburban, insular world where Joe would be a complete fish out of water". How Joe handles fatherhood will
be an interesting element of next season the past two seasons have shown
that he's particularly protective of the children in his life.

Badgley told TVLine that Joe andLove are "not soulmates. He's afraid of her
at the end. Basically, it'sset up for season 3in a way where they would be each other's arch nemesis." That's a lot of potential material for You season 3 to explore. You could run for even more seasons on Netflix

Joe's story won't necessarily be complete with You season 3, either. "I am
not scared at all of saying that we definitely could follow Joe for several more seasons," Gamble told THR . Don't worry about the writers running out of ways to test their protagonists, either. "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 show (Image credit: Beth Dubber/Netflix)

Netflix's guilty pleasure hit deserves its status as one of the biggest shows on the platform. With author Carlone Kepnes already working on book four in her You series, it should mean the producers have enough source material to chew on for a while yet.

You feels like a fresh, sexy and oddly dangerous series it's like an odd mix of soap opera and Hannibal, mixing dark thriller vibes with ludicrous twists for something extremely watchable. While on paper it looks a little too problematic to work, Gamble has found the right balance between darkness and deep characterization to pull it off. We can't wait for more.
