Penn Badgley has begun working on season three of the killer Netflix show, You.

Netflix announced Monday production on the series had begun, tweeting a photo of Penn, 34, emerging from the shadows wearing a black 'Hello You' face mask.

Penn has been playing the unhinged Joe Goldberg since 2018, when the series officially premiered on Lifetime before moving over to Netflix.

The series follows Joe committing gruesome murders, before getting away with it.   

Season two of the series saw Joe falling for aspiring chef Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) after murdering girlfriend Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail) in New York.

Penn hilariously accidentally revealed the show would be returning for a third season last year during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

The actor started talking about the role of an unmasked female serial killer in the upcoming 'third season', before adding, 'Oh, God'. 

'She doesn't appear to be the same kind of person. She doesn't appear to be the same kind of predator.

'She doesn't appear to be the same kind of… you know, dare I say, in the third season...oh, God!' he said. 

Interviewer Lauren Zima pressed him for more information as Penn slapped his head.   

The actor insisted: 'I literally know nothing about the third season.'

Lauren then replied: 'Are we going to get a third season?'

'Technically I can't… I mean, like, unofficially?' he added, nodding his head as he did so.
