Who’s in the cast of You season 2 on Netflix?

Penn will of course reprise his role as bookstore manager Joe Goldberg.

In the first series, he had a chilling obsession with Guinevere Beck, played by Elizabeth Lail.

He stalks her and makes him fall in love with him which leads to the series’ tragic finale.

In the second series, Joe heads to Los Angeles to start afresh, now introducing himself to potential victims as Will.

Joining Penn will be The Haunting of Hill House actress Victoria Pedretti who is set to play the female lead and Joe’s love interest, Love Quinn.

Victoria will play Love Quinn an aspiring chef in Los Angeles.

Netflix’s co-showrunner Sera Gamble has  described the character as :

“A Los Angeles native. She has really absorbed the best of the city and she’s really artistic with the way that she lives her life.”

She has also revealed that:

“Love is a person he could only have met after what happened between him and Beck.

“And by the way, Joe is not out there looking for love.

“He’s truly heartbroken by what has happened, and so what Love offers is a different kind of friendship and a different kind of relationship.”

Ambyr Childers will be returning as Candace Stone – Joe’s mysterious former girlfriend.

She made her first appearance in the final episode of Season One and is now set to play a more central role in the second series.

Though she will be a series regular, we’re not clear where the story line will be taking her character.

Crossing paths with Joe might not end well for Will as according to hints, he will find himself trapped in a bad situation shortly after meeting the obsessive book store manager.

You is based on the novel of the same name by Caroline Kepnes so it’s possible that the second series will follow the sequel called Hidden Bodies.

Co-creator Sera Gamble told Vanity Fair: “But there’s a lot of great material in the second book that we’re gonna do, starting with being in Los Angeles,”

She added: “It so happened [with Season 1] that a lot of stuff remained intact, but the guiding principle has always been to kind of bring to life the spirit of the story and not to obsess too much over plot details. . . Caroline has always been on board with that, and I think that’s going to continue to be the path in Season 2.”
