Development
Netflix confirmed that You was renewed for a 10-episode third season on January 14, 2020, approximately three weeks after the second season was released.[8][9][7] Prior to the official announcement, lead actor Penn Badgley accidentally let slip that there would be a third season during an Entertainment Tonight interview.[10] Production had begun as of November 2020.[8] Sera Gamble returned as showrunner and served as co-executive producer with series co-creator Greg Berlanti.[8]
The first two seasons were loosely based on the books You and Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes.[8] A third book written by Kepnes will be published on April 6, 2021, but it is unclear the extent to which that novel's plot will inform You's third season.[1]
Filming
For the third season, the series was awarded $7.2 million in tax credits by the state of California.[11] Filming for the third season began on November 2, 2020, and was originally scheduled to conclude in April 2021.[12][13] On December 31, 2020, production for the third season was suspended for two weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic; it was expected to resume on January 18, 2021.[14]
Casting
Penn Badgley will return in the lead role of Joe Goldberg, and Victoria Pedretti will reprise her role as Love Quinn, Joe's girlfriend, who is pregnant with his child as the second season ends.[8] In October 2020, Travis Van Winkle and Shalita Grant were cast as series regulars, while Scott Speedman was cast in a recurring role, for the third season.[3][4][8][15] On November 18, 2020, Dylan Arnold and Tati Gabrielle were announced as new series regular cast members, and recurring guests Michaela McManus, Shannon Chan-Kent, Ben Mehl, Christopher O'Shea, Christopher Sean, Bryan Safi, Mackenzie Astin, Ayelet Zurer, Jack Fisher, and Mauricio Lara were also announced.[2] McManus will portray Joe's mysterious neighbor shown briefly at the end of the second season.[16] Saffron Burrows was promoted to series regular after appearing in a recurring role in the second season.[2] On January 25, 2021, Scott Michael Foster joined the cast in a recurring role for the third season.[5]
