The brand new neighbor goes to play a job.

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 girl although: she’s not Joe’s long-lost mom. Penn Badgley, who debunked the fan favourite concept 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 position has not but been formally solid.
A 3rd ebook might or might not think about. YOU‘s first season, which initially debuted on Lifetime, was primarily based on Caroline Kepnes’ 2014 book of the same name, whereas YOU Season 2 was primarily based on her 2016 sequel, Hidden Bodies. Kepnes is at the moment engaged on the third novel within the sequence, and the writer has confirmed that she’s “almost done” writing the story.
