Q: Will there be another season of “You” on Netflix? Are they going to turn him into a “Dexter” where he just continues his crimes season after season? – V.E.
A: “You,” starring Penn Badgley as a stalker named Joe, premiered on the Lifetime network, but wasn’t a big ratings hit. It took off when season one re-aired on Netflix, and Netflix acquired the rights and developed season two, where a new woman named Love (Victoria Pedretti) became Joe’s obsession.

I do see the similarity between “Dexter,” a Showtime series about a serial killer who outsmarted the law season after season, and Joe. Like Dexter, Joe has settled down with his girlfriend who is expecting a child, but domestic bliss isn’t likely to change his murderous ways.
Fans will be thrilled to learn that a third season of “You” is in the works. Joining the cast this season will be Shalita Grant, a catty mom who befriends Love, and Travis Van Winkle, an affluent neighbor who, according to E!Online, “invites Joe into his inner circle.”
Q: Whatever happened to Becca and the man she chose on “The Bachelorette”? I never heard if they got married. Are they still engaged? – P.C.
A: Becca Kufrin, who was selected to be “The Bachelorette” after auto racer Arie Luyendyk Jr. broke her heart by rescinding his proposal on “The Bachelor,” is single again. She’s only 30, but after her relationship with her chosen one, Garrett Yrigoyen, fizzled this past summer, she announced that she’s undergoing fertility treatments and freezing her eggs in hopes of having a child someday.
Many speculated that she dumped him because of his political opinions on social media, but Kufrin stressed on her podcast, “Bachelor Happy Hour,” that there were several factors. “Garrett and I came to this decision [to split] after many conversations. It wasn’t something we just arrived at one night. There’s much more to it.”
The newest season of the “The Bachelorette,” which was filmed under quarantine restrictions, is airing Monday nights on ABC. It’s a most unusual season for many reasons, so stay tuned.
Q: Is “The Flash” TV series ever coming back with new episodes on the CW or is it finished? –S.R.
A: As of this writing, a return to production of “The Flash” is imminent, but when those episodes will air is the big question. The original plan was for the seventh season to premiere in January, but that’s been pushed back.
Other CW series such as “Riverdale” and “Batwoman” are reportedly in the early stages of production. The shows film in Vancouver, Canada, and according to Deadline.com, there was a big backlog of pending COVID-19 tests contributing to the delay of start-up.
Season two of “Batwoman” will introduce a new actress in the lead role after the departure of Ruby Rose. Javicia Leslie will take over the part. If she looks familiar to you, she played Ali on the short-lived series “God Friended Me.”
