The series debuted in 2018 on Lifetime and is based on the You book series by author Caroline Kepner.
In the first season, Joe worked in a bookstore and fell in love with writer and NYU graduate student Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail), at least until he met his untimely end.
The second season moved to Netflix, where it has remained ever since, and found Joe living in Los Angeles as a bookstore clerk, now under the name Will Bettelheim, who falls for heiress and health guru Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti).
Season three found Joe/Will buying a house, marrying Love, and having a child with her… although he was still obsessed with two new women.

The two connect, “over literature and loss,” which “stokes in him a nostalgia for his old self, making him question what his life has become.”
