The brand new neighbor goes to play a task. Though particulars concerning the plot of YOU Season Three haven’t been revealed, Netflix has hinted that the season will tackle the most burning question after Season 2: the id of the brand new lady Joe was eyeing throughout the fence within the last sequence. In a tweet accompanying the announcement of Season 3, the show’s official social media channel teased, “See you quickly, neighbor.” There’s one factor we all know for certain concerning the thriller lady although: she’s not Joe’s long-lost mom. Penn Badgley, who debunked the fan favourite idea in an interview with Bustle, mentioned, “She’s positively not his mother, I can say that.”
In July, Gamble and Badgley confirmed to TV Information that whereas Joe’s new neighbor appeared briefly within the Season 2 finale, the function has not but been formally forged.
