You season 3 theories: Joe left devastated as Love kidnaps their baby?

After You’s riveting second season, Netflix confirmed that the series would be returning in 2021. No specific date has been set, but trends are indicating another January drop. Keen viewers have already taken to the internet to discuss clues and theories, especially surrounding Joe Goldberg (played by Penn Badgley) and Love Quinn’s (Victoria Pedretti) journey in parenthood. 

When Joe Goldberg fled for a new life in sunny Los Angeles, he quickly became embroiled in a succession of paranoia, conspiracy and obsession. 

He started a new relationship with health guru Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) but little did he know she was also hiding a dark secret. 

It transpired that Love also had a history with murder, and the deadly pairing seemed perfect for each other by the season finale as they moved into suburban LA and expected their first child together. 

However, their idyllic new spot is likely to become the stage for fresh new drama as a rather convincing theory surrounding Love’s kidnap of her own child has taken the internet by storm.

One fan took to Reddit claiming insider knowledge of the upcoming season.

User u/berny666lol69 claimed: “So my cousin works as a DP in Hollywood and knows some of the producers on this show.”

As ever with info on Reddit, claims should be taken with a pinch of salt.

They continued: “The season starts off with Joe stalking the neighbor, and begins a secret relationship with her.”

Viewers will remember that the season finale ended with Joe seemingly content with his life with Love, before peering over the fence and sowing the seeds of a new obsession. 

The Redditor added: “Love apparently discovers Joe and the neighbor’s relationship, so she kidnaps their child and takes off to South America, where Joe follows and attempts to track them down.”

If You season two lifted inspiration from neo-noir thrillers like The Long Goodbye, this fan is suggesting the upcoming season could have a more modern point of reference, namely the Liam Neeson action film Taken. 

This is where the theory gets pretty far-fetched, as the Redditor continued: “The final scene is apparently Joe finding Love and them getting into a big physical fight; then they start arguing as they’re both pretty injured.

“As this is happening their baby picks up a gun and straight up shoots Love. This makes Joe realize he can’t change and moves back home, and moves in with the neighbor.”

If this is to be believed, season three could potentially feature a time jump of some years to justify Love being shot by her own child. 

However, Love’s irrational decision to take off with their baby is pretty in line with her unpredictable character as established in the previous season. 

Whether this insider knowledge is to be believed, it would make sense for the show to mix things up for the next season.

Some fans were concerned that the formula of Joe fleeing his life for a new city and new obsession each season could grow predictable. 

While Love being shot by a baby falls a little outside the realms of believability that the show usually sticks to, the kidnapping plot would be a refreshing change of pace.

Fans would also be excited to see South America explored by a pair of unhinged sociopaths if the new season introduces more of a globetrotting angle. 

You season 2 is available to stream now on Netflix.
