Netflix has revealed that the highly anticipated second season of the suspenseful thriller YOU will premiere just after Christmas, on December 26. So, consider it a holiday treat!
Fans of the show can breathe a sigh of relief as Penn Badgley returns as the unnerving stalker, Joe. This season will see Joe in a fascinating twist of fate—he’s gone from being the pursuer to now being pursued. As hinted by the streaming giant’s official announcement, Joe has left New York City behind, which means a whole new array of challenges awaits him.
Exciting Announcement and Poster Reveal
The announcement came with a captivating poster featuring Joe caught between two significant figures: his potential new love, Mia (played by Julia Roberts), and his ex, Vanessa (portrayed by Ambyr Childers). The Instagram post teased, “Joe’s back, but where?” and confirmed the December 26 release date. So, mark your calendars—Joe’s tumultuous and twisted journey is set to unfold soon.
Plot Overview
The storyline picks up with Joe trying to escape his past, particularly the wrath of his determined ex, Vanessa. He relocates to Los Angeles, a city far removed from his familiar haunts, but one that proves to be just as challenging. The official synopsis elaborates, “When we last encountered Joe, he was heartbroken and confronted by Vanessa, who is now intent on teaching him a lesson. Season 2 finds him fleeing to L.A., fresh from a relationship that ended violently.”
But, let’s be real—do you really think Joe can resist the urge to find yet another romantic obsession? This time, the object of his fixation is named Mia. Though Joe may be deluded into thinking this could be true love, it’s clear he’s “crazy enough to take the chance.”
Mia: A New Kind of Love Interest
Interestingly, Mia seems to be quite different from his previous love, Beck. While Beck was always focused on social media validation, Mia possesses a warm and carefree spirit. The showrunner, Sara Gamble, describes Mia as someone who embraces the best of L.A. and lives life to the fullest. In contrast to Beck, Mia is “extremely disinterested” in social media, which might just appeal to Joe’s complicated psyche.
However, don’t expect Joe’s arrival in L.A. to usher in a brighter chapter. Gamble notes that Joe is still grappling with his heartache from the past, so while Mia may offer a new kind of friendship, he’s not exactly looking for a romance—at least not yet.
