Robin Lord Taylor has landed his next major TV role and will join the cast of You Season two in a brand new role.

The actor, who has been a fan favourite on Gotham for the past five years, has been reported by Deadline to be joining the Netflix series as it moves to LA.

There, Robin will cross Penn Badgley’s twisted character of Joe Goldberg, as his latest obsession takes hold and causes trouble for everyone.

Robin will be taking on the role of Will, who is used to ‘dealing with unsavoury sorts’ as part of his job, which we are yet to find out.




Despite being a good guy, he finds himself ‘trapped in a bad situation’, which could cause all kinds of problems for the show’s protagonist Joe, who has an unhealthy addiction to becoming obsessed with women in his life.

The good news of Robin’s new gig was quickly shared by his Gotham cast mates, with Cameron Monaghan (who plays Jeremiah) and Camren Bicondova (Selina Kyle), both cheering Robin on.

After the end of the first season of You, it’s been revealed that Joe will relocate from New York to Los Angeles for a fresh start – but it doesn’t take long for the skeletons in his closet to start rearing their ugly head.

Loosely based on the sequel book of You, titled Hidden Bodies, Joe will fall in love with a new girl, and as always, will do whatever he can to keep her.
