The Haunting of Hill House actor Victoria Pedretti cast as female lead in Netflix's You season 2

‘The Bent Neck Lady’ is returning to Netflix. Victoria Pedretti, who played the troubled Eleanor “Nell” Crain in The Haunting of Hill House , has been roped in as the female lead for the second season of psychological thriller You. The first season follows Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg who is obsessed with a budding writer, Guinevere Beck, played by Elizabeth Lail.

Love is more focused on leading an interesting real life than a designed one on social media. As she is coming to terms with a deep grief, she meets Joe, she senses a shared knowledge of profound, life-changing loss. Showrunner Sera Gamble said she was bowled over by Pedretti’s performance in Haunting… and thought she would be the perfect actor to play Love. “It is very f**king cool that Victoria is playing this role. 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,” Gamble told Entertainment Weekly. You, which moved from Lifetime to Netflix following season one, is yet to set a premiere date for the sophomore chapter.
