Now, this is the news that 2020 needs!
Calling all You fans...
We've just been given some exciting news...
Now, the obsession started when Netflix's You hit our screens.
Perfect for those in the post-Christmas slump, the psychological thriller followed the ill-fated romantic pursuits of a terrifying sociopath, named Joe.It was based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Caroline Kepnes.
In the series, Joe becomes absolutely obsessed with a writing student and all-around Millenial cliche named Guinevere Beck, stopping at nothing to gain her affections.Some of Joe's actions are pretty questionable.
And it got worse...
By the end of series one, not only were all of Beck's closest acquaintances murdered but (spoiler alert), Beck had to go too. She simply knew too much about Joe's horrifying habits.Because you can't get away with this stuff forever, right?
Although (worryingly enough), Joe seemed to have managed to go on a full-blown killing spree without consequences - and there was an even more bizarre reaction to his behavior.Because in spite of the fact Joe Goldberg was a stalker and murderer?

Anyway, the show was a major success globally...
After the trail of destruction Joe left behind in New York, season 2 of You had to have a slight change of scenery.
And with a new city, comes a new love interest.
As Beck is (sadly) no more, Joe obviously needed a new victim - sorry, sorry, girlfriend. Joe's new victim, Love Quinn, was played by Victoria Pedretti and she certainly threw a spanner in the works.But season 2 also saw some recurring characters.

One thing was for certain throughout the season, however...
And that was that Joe was utterly unable to outrun his past for too long. You can take the man away from stalking, but you can't take the stalker out of the man, after all!The second series of You was based also on Kepnes' follow up book.
The second book, called Hidden Bodies, came out in 2016.Season 2 was a thrilling one, to say the least.
"Joe is always trying to be a good guy but yet somehow he's finding himself in these thriller, horror kind of situations. It's terrible for him but I think it's going to be so much fun for the audience," the show's producer, Sera Gamble said.But in similarity to the first season, it wasn't for the faint-hearted.
"My career is full of blood and gore and monsters," Gamble explained, much to fans delight.Of course, You season 2 was a huge success upon its release...
Well, luckily for us obsessed fans...
Penn Badgley was the one who may have revealed the much needed season 3.
Yep, that's right. The star of the show was the one who accidentally revealed that season 3 is on the horizon... just days after the release of season 2!And he also dropped some plot secrets.
