You have cast Joe’s nemesis for season two and you will definitely recognise them

Keeley Ryan

From Gotham City to Los Angeles.

Gotham’s Robin Lord Taylor has reportedly joined Netflix’s You in a reoccurring role.

The actor has played Oswald Cobblepot – also known as The Penguin – in the Batman prequel series since it began.

But with the series set to come to an end after its fifth season, it looks like he will be moving on to a very different role.

Deadline report that the actor has signed on to the second season of You as a character named Will.

The site describes Will has a “thoughtful, personable and highly intelligent” guy who moves “to the beat of his own drummer.”

Until he gets trapped in a bad situation (which, if we had to guess, Joe Goldberg will play some part in).

The second season of You is expected to follow Joe’s move away from New York City.

Loosely based on Caroline Kepnes’ second book, Hidden Bodies, it will follow the kidnapper/murderer/stalker/bookstore manage as he leaves NYC for Los Angeles, where he meets Love Quinn – an aspiring chef working as a produce manager in a high-end grocery store.

However, Love will be a completely different character to the main love interest of the first series, Beck. She’s not into social media and is more interested in living an fulfilling life.

The Haunting of Hill House’s Victoria Pedretti will play the character.

You showrunner Sera Gamble told EW:

“I binged Hill House, and she was incredible. And then a couple of days later, [executive producer] Greg [Berlanti] sent an email asking, ‘Have you seen Hill House? Have you seen Victoria Pedretti, wouldn’t she make a perfect Love?’

“Leave it to Greg to put that together.”
