On the run and looking for a fresh start, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) escapes the Big City and heads to Los Angeles in Season 2 of You . Fans became obsessed with the 10-episodic series, which featured bookstore manager Joe who became infatuated with aspiring writer Beck (Elizabeth Lail). Killing anyone who he thought came between them, Joe’s got a lot of blood on his hands. And, you can bet Joe’s stalker and killer instincts will reemerge in sunny California.

Ahead of the highly anticipated release of Netflix’s You (which originally premiered on Lifetime), we spoke with Adwin Brown , who joined the Season 2 cast, about what fans can expect from the psychological thriller series. Teasing the “darker” tone, the actor explained to Distractify that the streaming giant made it possible for the series to “go a little harder” and “really elevate” from Season 1.

Adwin Brown talks You Season 2 characters and working with Penn Badgley.

In the Netflix series, Adwin plays Calvin, a high-end grocery store manager in L.A., who hires Joe. “He ends up interviewing for a job at my place and I realize we have similar interests,” the Heathers star explained. “We’re both intellectual; we both love to read. I end up hiring him and we end up having a work relationship.”

Though he couldn’t elaborate on if his character will pick up on any of Joe’s stalker-ish traits, the actor teased, “I can tell you Joe is definitely hiding something. But I can’t really tell you how [Calvin] feels about it.” Adding, “That’s the fun part to watch.”

The majority of Adwin's scenes are with Penn’s character Joe and while he did confess he was a little nervous to join the already established cast, the actor revealed that the group got to know one another off set. “For a show that’s so high stakes, you know, people are dying, people are on the run, it’s such a juicy show, but behind the scenes it was so laid back and chill. Everyone was cracking jokes,” he told Distractify.
