PUBLISHED SEP 11, 2018

Lifetime’s newest drama ‘You’ was previewed this weekend at Paleyfest in Los Angeles and premiered on Sunday, September 9. It’s definitely a new series that is worth watching. Based on Caroline Kepnes novel, ‘You’ is about an unassuming bookstore manager Joe (played by ‘Gossip Girl’ alum Penn Badgley) whose crush on blonde Manhattanite student Beck (played by 'Once Upon A Time' alum Elizabeth Lail) turns into a deadly obsession.

Greg Berlanti ('Riverdale') and Sera Gamble ('The Magicians') serve as executive producers, so you know you’ll be in for a fun, crazy ride with these two behind the project.

After having an adorable meet-cute at the bookstore Joe works at, his fascination with Beck gradually turns into something far sinister. The first episode is through Joe’s eyes, exploring how his wide-eyed enthusiasm (which does seem a little over-kill, but cute nonetheless) is turned into a full-on obsession.
