Brown, whose credits include Heathers, The Fosters, and Jane the Virgin, will play Calvin, a true west coaster who’s a mix of both meditation and stress. Calvin manages a high-end grocery store and although he feels his life is more together than most, working at an unconventional store for some unconventional bosses tests him.
Pedretti, known for playing Nell Crain on Netflix’s The Haunting of Hill House and currently filming Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, will play the female lead opposite Penn Badgley in Season 2. Her character, Love Quinn, is an aspiring chef working as a produce manager in a high-end grocery store (alongside Calvin). Love is uninterested in the world of social media, branding, and self-promotion focused instead on leading an interesting life. She is also tending to a deep grief, and when she meets Joe Goldberg (Badgley), she senses a shared knowledge of profound, life-changing loss.
In Season 1 of You, a brilliant male bookstore manager (Penn Badgley) who crosses paths with an aspiring female writer (Elizabeth Lail), pushes the limits of “love” to the test. A charming yet awkward crush becomes something even more sinister when the writer becomes the manager’s obsession. Using social media and the internet, he uses every tool at his disposal to become close to her, even going so far as to remove any obstacle — including people — that stands in his way of getting to her
