Who could’ve thought that this show could get any darker?
Well, the creators apparently, because You are… or wait, You is about to get a whole lot darker than the first season!
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
Let’s talk about ‘You’.
The hit series is about a sociopathic guy who wants to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him.
It’s creepy, it’s dark and above all, it’s horrifyingly real.
Now, fans are gearing up for season 2, and we couldn’t be more excited!
Since the first season Joe Goldberg (played by Penn Badgley) has moved to the West Coast to escape the horrors of what happened last year.
However, things aren’t going great for him.
As they shouldn’t be, considering if it was all hunky-dory we wouldn’t have much for a second season, now would we?
However, this second season is supposed to be a lot darker, according to showrunner Sera Gamble.
“At least one scene comes to mind that’s gorier and scarier than anything we had in season 1,” she said in an interview with Us Weekly .
Sera continued, “I would say that season 2 of You, kind of, doubles down on some of the stuff that you might come to expect.”
Sounds spooky!

“Moving the show to Los Angeles brought out a whole different side of Joe Goldberg,” Sera added.
“It’s also not for the weak stomachs!”
Gamble also chatted with “TV Guide” recently to discuss the much anticipated second season and what episode she’s most excited about.
“Episode 2 of the season has my single favorite shot that I have been a part of in my entire career.”
Which means a lot, considering Sera’s career has been filled with horror.
“My career is full of blood and gore and monsters,” she admits.
“It’s also beautifully shot and the director who shot the second episode lavished a lot of love.”
“Joe is forced to do something he really doesn’t want to do,” Sera spilled.
Season 2 will also feature a few new faces, of course.
The Haunting of Hill House‘s Victoria Pedretti has signed on to play Goldberg’s latest “love” interest, named Love Quinn.
The two meet early in the new season and will bond over the fact that they’re both grieving a loss.
“I will say that Love is a person he could only have met after what happened between him and Beck,” Sera dished.
“And by the way, Joe is not out there looking for love,” she told Entertainment Weekly . “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.”
I think it’s safe to say season 2 can’t come soon enough!
No release date has been announced, but it is rumored that the show will premiere in 2020.
