Who's in the You season 2 cast? Ambyr Childers and Victoria Pedretti join Netflix thriller

The second series of the hit Netflix show drops on Boxing Day
Tom Herbert23 December 2019

Surprise Netflix hit You is back for a second season and anticipation couldn't be higher.

The psychological thriller introduced us to a range of characters on its release last year, including the super creepy protagonist Joe Goldberg.

In case you can't remember, the end of season one left on bit of a cliffhanger with Joe's love interest Beck seemingly murdered and his sights set on someone new.

With the release dropping just in time for to help (or potentially increase...) those post-Christmas blues, here's all you need to know about who's returning for You season two...

You season 2 cast list

Gossip Girl's Penn Badgley is set to reprise his role as the pretentious bookshop manager/killer Joe - now Will - Goldberg.

Right at the very end of season one we also saw Joe's ex-girlfriend Candace, played by Ambyr Childers, arrive back on the scene after being missing throughout most of the season, so expect to see a lot more from her.

Joe now has a new love interest/obsession in the form of Love Quinn. Played by Victoria Pedretti, Quinn is set to play a big part in the upcoming series.

Entertainment Weekly labelled Quinn as "an aspiring chef working as a produce manager in a high-end grocery store."

She's also "uninterested in the world of social media, branding and self-promotion, focused instead on leading an interesting life," they said, and "tending to a deep grief, and when she meets Joe Goldberg, she senses a shared knowledge of profound, life-changing loss."

Viewers could also be set to see a return of Dr Nicky (John Stamos), Joe's bearded psychologist.

While the last time we saw him he was in prison after being framed for murder, showrunner Sera Gamble told the Hollywood Reporter: "It's too soon to say definitely whether John Stamos will return in season two but we have been talking a lot about the character and we're excited to keep telling that story."

Beth Dubber/Netflix

New faces this year include Charlie Barnett (Chicago Fire, Russian Doll) as Gabe, Jenna Ortega (Stuck in the Middle, Jane the Virgin) as Ellie, Robin Lord Taylor (Gotham, John Wick: Chapter 3) as Will and Chris D'Elia (Whitney, The Good Doctor) as Henderson.

Sadly, it looks as though both Shay Mitchell won't return as Peach Salinger, as she was killed in the last series at the hands of Joe after she saw through his act.

Similarly, it doesn't look like Elizabeth Lail will reprise her role as Joe's ex-girlfriend Beck, even in the form of flashbacks.

The last time we saw her she was getting dragged down into Joe's basement, Lail does not appear in any of the teaser trailers or images, so it looks like Beck is well and truly dead.
