The series is based on the novel series of the same name by Caroline Kepnes, which currently consists of three books, with the author currently working on a fourth entry in the series. Though Variety reported that the upcoming season would not be an adaptation of Kepnes' third book, You Love Me. It will instead take the story in its own direction.
You's first season originally premiered on Lifetime and the channel would even renew the show for a second season before the show even aired. Yet, the show became more popular when it was streaming on Netflix. By December, the streaming giant announced that You was now a Netflix Original series. The second season premiered on December 26, 2019, with the series getting renewed for another season in January 2020.
