YOU Season 3: Everything To Know

Fatherhood is always a complicated rite of passage for TV serial killers, and Joe Goldberg is no exception.

As we learned in YOU's second season finale, Joe (Penn Badgley) and Love (Victoria Pedretti) were expecting a baby. And when the Netflix drama returns for Season 3 next month, the killer couple have become the overwhelmed parents of a baby boy named Henry, whom Love's helicopter mother actually believes is Forty reincarnated. But hey, Dottie's gonna Dottie.

Read on for a breakdown of everything we know about YOU Season 3, from the long-awaited premiere date to the sprawling cast of new characters — one of whom might just be Joe's next big obsession. Then drop a comment with your own hopes and predictions.

Just in time for spooky season, YOU will return for its 10-episode third season on Friday, Oct. 15.

"Joe and Love, now married and raising their baby, have moved to the balmy Northern California enclave of Madre Linda, where they're surrounded by privileged tech entrepreneurs, judgmental mommy bloggers and Insta-famous biohackers," reads the official logline for Season 3. "Joe is committed to his new role as a husband and dad, but fears Love's lethal impulsiveness. And then there's his heart. Could the woman he's been searching for all this time live right next door? Breaking out of a cage in a basement is one thing. But the prison of a picture-perfect marriage to a woman who's wise to your tricks? Well, that'll prove a much more complicated escape."

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina star will play Marienne, a "smart, no-nonsense librarian who doesn't let much get by her. Marienne is a keen observer of the neighborhood's denizens, too savvy in the ways of the real world to be taken in by patrons' privilege and oblivious entitlement. Beneath her practical, buttoned-up exterior, Marienne is hiding personal struggles that continue to set her back, hard as she tries to create a better life for herself and her young child."

The Felicity star will play Matthew, a "successful CEO, husband, and uncommunicative father. He's reserved, mysterious, and has a tendency to be withdrawn ... all of which masks a deep well of emotion underneath."

The Village star will plays Natalie, "Joe's next door neighbor and subject of his growing fascination. Married to a powerful man, Natalie is a professional and social success. But she sees through the shallow, Stepford-esque vibe that surrounds her, and beneath her wry exterior, she leads a secret life. One that Joe is willing to work hard to learn more about."

The Last Ship star will play Cary, a wealthy gentleman "who invites Joe into his inner circle."

Grant (NCIS: New Orleans) will play Sherry, "a 'mom-fluencer' who appears down to earth, but is actually a mean girl who only pretends to welcome Love into her social circle."

O'Shea (Madam Secretary) will play Andrew, "an adoring member of Sherry's cliquish inner circle. A fit stay-at-home dad, Andrew is dependably tuned in to the latest town gossip."

Kent (Good Trouble) will play Kiki, a "devoted member of Sherry's cliquish 'mean girl' friend group. Kiki is a wife, mother and life coach who enjoys a life of entitlement, frequenting mid-day fitness classes and enjoying lengthy gossip sessions at the local cafe."

The 9-1-1 actor plays Jackson, "Andrew's wry husband; they have an enviable, loving marriage. Despite Jackson's high-powered job as a tech attorney, he's managed to stay humble."

The Days of Our Lives and Hawaii Five-0 alum will play Brandon, "Kiki's husband, who struck it rich in his mid 20's as a tech investor, is now a stay-at-home dad for his kids."

Best known as Nashville's Twig, Arnold will play Theo, "a college student with a strained and complicated relationship with his stepfather. Theo is wise and perceptive, but vulnerable and troubled, with a propensity to get tangled up in his loved ones' problems and to drown his own in controlled substances and dangerous behavior."

Other characters you can expect in Season 3 include...

Ben Mehl (pictured left) as Dante, "a librarian who retains his wit and equanimity no matter what the day brings. A veteran whose eyesight was damaged, Dante is a dedicated family man with a husband and two stepchildren who longs to expand his family, and delights in helping his friends with their children."

Mackenzie Astin (Homeland) as Gil, a "mild-mannered geology professor who is thoughtful, friendly and genuinely good-hearted — if a bit vanilla and naive.

Ayelet Zurer (Daredevil) as Dr. Chandra, a "chic, brusque, but extremely seasoned couple's therapist who has every intention of getting to the bottom of her patients' issues."

Jack Fisher (pictured right) as Young Joe Goldberg. "Seen in flashbacks to a boys' home where he is bullied mercilessly, Young Joe is sensitive and vulnerable to influence."

Mauricio Lara as Paulie, a friend of Young Joe. "Savvy with hard-earned smarts beyond his years, Paulie attempts to help his friend toughen up and negotiate the tough world of the boys home."
