Production on the hit Netflix series, starring Penn Badgley as series protagonist Joe Goldberg, has officially kicked off. The announcement came from Netflix on their official Twitter handle with a sinister warning.
“We recommend you stay at least 6 feet from Joe Goldberg at all times. YOU Season 3 is back in production,” read the announcement, with a photo of Badgley posing with a mask that read ‘HELLO YOU’ covering his face.

The show, based on Caroline Kepnes’ novels of the same name, follows bookstore manager Goldberg as he turns into a serial killer through the course of the series, simultaneously pursuing uninformed love interests. It first premiered on Netflix in December 2018 after running on Lifetime.
Season 2 opened to positive reviews from fans and critics, and followed Kepnes’ second book Hidden Bodies. It followed Joe from New York to Los Angeles, where he meets a new love interest, Love Quinn, who has secrets of her own.
Netflix first announced the third season in January 2020, roughly a month after season 2 dropped in December 2019. While not much has been revealed, it is expected to take off from where season 2 ended: Love pregnant with Joe’s child and Joe eyeing their neighbour.
