Netflix’s hit stalker thriller, You, has cast its new female lead – and the actor will be well known to fans of the streaming service’s own The Haunting of Hill House.
Victoria Pedretti, who plays Violet McGraw in the horror series, will appear as Love Quinn when You returns for its second season.
Quinn, a Los Angeles native, differs from Guinevere Beck, the female lead of the first season, in many respects.
An aspiring chef working as the produce manager of a high-end grocery store, Quinn, unlike Beck, has no interest in social media – one of the many tools used by stalker Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley).
She is going through a “deep grief”, which will cause her to bond with Goldberg.
You‘s second season will see Goldberg move from New York to Los Angeles, having apparently murdered Beck and framed her therapist Dr Nicki (John Stamos) for the killing.
“To me, Love embodies the best of Los Angeles,” showrunner Sera Gamble told Entertainment Weekly.
“Joe is not moving to LA because he f****** loves the West Coast. He’s a New Yorker and he has bought the party line on how terrible LA is and when he gets here, very little dissuades him from his initial opinion.”
You originally aired on Lifetime and became a viral success after moving to Netflix in December 2018.
A release date for the second season has yet to be announced.
