Netflix announced that You season 3 will release in 2021. ‘You’ has been renewed for a third season consisting of 10 episodes. It has been confirmed by Netflix that Penn Badgley and Victoria Pedretti will be reprising their roles in season 3.

‘You’ is a popular psychological and stalker thriller series developed by Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble. The first two seasons of the series have been based on the best-selling 2014 novel. This novel is the same name by Caroline Kepnes and its sequel, Hidden Bodies. The series also is the Netflix Original series. The second season of the series was viewed by over 54 million people.

Netflix confirmed You season 3 back in January 2020. The official renewal of the series arrived on January 14th, 2020 with the below short teaser.

Although production on Season 3 started in February, filming officially restarted in November 2020 due to the pandemic. On November 2nd, 2020, Netflix made the announcement by posting a selfie of Badgley in a You-themed face mask. We guess ‘You‘ Season 3 will release in Winter or Spring 2021.

What will happen in season 3 of You?

You showrunner and co-creator Sera Gamble told The Hollywood Reporter: “When we originally sold the show, we very broadly described it. As each season would be a new love obsession and a new world. Season one is Beck in New York, and season two is Love in L.A., and so we are evoking where we would like to go, which is to a much more suburban, insular world where Joe would be a complete fish out of water. And now Love occupies a very different place because she is the mother of his child but also not the woman he thought she was.”

She added: “I think to me, the most important thing about that last scene is just it is confirmation that Joe is still Joe in his way. That’s not going to be great for Joe. That he has not learned that he cannot just keep looking for the next person to attach his hopes and dreams to that way. It seems clear that he’s falling into some version of that same pattern. I can’t say that we know exactly what a season three would be, but I can say things won’t go well for Joe.”

Moreover, Sera Gamble spoke on Us Weekly’s Watch With Us podcast: “I think the very best thing inside of Joe is his desire to protect innocent young people. That’s so sincere. It’s obvious that he doesn’t have any ulterior motive beyond maybe just wanting another kid to have a better childhood than he did.” She continued, “I mean, the argument can be made that he saved both [Paco and Ellie], but the argument can probably more strongly be made that he came into their lives and destroyed them.”

On October 16th, 2020, Netflix Queue, one of Netflix’s Twitter accounts announced the addition of two new cast members.
