Netflix's thriller 'YOU' is officially returning with a second season

Here's everything we know about it so far

Netflix's recent binge-worthy thriller, YOU, has stirred quite a social media debate. While the first season left fans shocked, the show is already in works for the second season, reported The Sun.

So, here's what we know about the upcoming season so far.

SPOILER ALERT!

Penn Badgley is going to return in the lead role of Joe Goldberg, but as of yet it’s unconfirmed whether any other characters we saw in the first season will join him. However given the body count of the first ten episodes, it’s likely that new characters will be brought in for the next season.

It’s currently up in the air whether John Stamos will reappear as therapist Dr Nicky. Last we saw Nicky was in prison, after being framed for several of Goldberg’s murders, but speaking to The Hollywood Reporter showrunner Sera Gamble has expressed interest in him returning.

“It’s too soon to say definitely whether John Stamos will return in season two but we have been talking a lot about the character and we’re excited to keep telling that story," she commented.

Deadline have reported that the second season of the show will follow bookstore manager “as his search for love takes him to Hollywood where dreams can be made or shattered”.

However even if he’ll be in LA, loose ends from Goldberg’s past could return.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Gamble said, “If you look at every act of violence that he does in season one, that is potentially something that could come back and bite him”

She added, “Part of the fun of continuing the story is that the loose ends from Joe’s past are still dangling and could come back to him at anytime. He is very worried about the fact that Peach Salinger’s family has hired people to investigate her alleged suicide, and there is evidence potentially still at her house from season one."

Gamble has also said that Joe’s past, and in particular the abuse he received from mentor Mr Mooney, will be further explored in the next season, “Joe was taken in by a guy who had a certain type of life philosophy that really did rub off on Joe. Joe was already a teenager by the time he even met Mr. Mooney. There’s a lot more to explore about Joe from earlier in his life. Those are the things we’re starting to get into for season two”.

Season one was also left on a cliffhanger, where Joe’s ex-girlfriend Candace (Ambyr Childers) appeared in his bookstore and tells him they have unfinished business, so we can expect to find out more of what happened between them.

The release date or first look from second season is yet to be released. We cannot wait!
