The possibilities of what I want to do with my life has expanded.' 'And that has been expanded upon because I have had the amazing gift of being able to do things I never imagined I would be able to do. 'There's a lot of things I want to do,' she says. Right now, she's got no set plans of how her career will play out in the grand scheme of things - and that's exactly how she'd like it. The show still has a few months left of shooting in Vancouver, and, when she's not decompressing with The Great British Bakeoff, Pedretti is meditating on what is still to come. Told that it looks natural, she starts to laugh. 'She's completely different nothing like Nell,' she says. One spoiler, however, is impossible to hide: Pedretti, a brunette, is currently sporting a previously unseen honey blonde hair color. Even though it's the second season of a show that I've been in before, almost everything is different.' Here's what Pedretti will say: 'I'm really excited about it. The story, loosely based on The Turn of the Screw by Henry James, centers around two orphans cared for by a young governess named Dani, played by Pedretti. Here's what we know, per scarce details Netflix has shared: season two is officially titled The Haunting of Bly Manor and will feature a whole new story and mostly new cast (as of now, Pedretti and Oliver Jackson-Cohen are the only returning season one actors). 'He's like, 'Hello, you.' Why would he say that to his mother? Or it's his mother and he doesn't know it? Or his mother has somehow gotten out of the habitual natures of her entire life and finds herself living in the suburbs?'īeing coy is just part of the job description for Pedretti at this point she's just as vague when it comes to discussing details of The Haunting of Hill House's second season. Okay, but is the woman Joe watches from next door his estranged mother? 'Do I think she's potentially lying? I have no idea. But she can comment on some popular fan theories. While many devoured all of season two when it dropped over the holidays, the show continues to be a trending topic as fans debate what is to come in season three. The continued discussion is interesting.' There was a chance that once she started killing people, people wouldn't like her anymore, but people amazingly seem drawn to her character and this insanity. I was scared not because Love isn't likable, but because it's not the show they expect to see. I was really scared because the character is really different. 'Taking the place of somebody who is, in a lot of people's minds, a really beloved character, there is going to be comparison. 'Probably more than I should.'), she's feeling 'relieved.' 'It was really nerve-wracking, especially having not been in the first season,' she says. 'I wouldn't allow to be something as shallow as a manic pixie dream girl.'įor her part, Pedretti was worried that viewers might not take to a murderous love interest as much as they did, but after reading reactions online ('I don't want to admit how much,' she says. It's a twist the audience never sees coming, and a prime example of why You has enraptured the Internet.

It all happens the way that is meant to be.'Īs the season progresses (spoilers ahead), it becomes clear that Love has more in common with the show's serial killer male protagonist than any female ingenue stereotype. And if I had done that, I couldn't have done it now and I couldn't have done The Haunting of Hill House.

'I could not have done Beck,' she says in retrospect. The part went to Elizabeth Lail, but to hear it from Pedretti, it was all part of some cosmic design.

During a school trip to Los Angeles senior year, she auditioned for a role on You, as season one's heroine Guinevere Beck. It's easy to forget the 24-year-old is just two years out of Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. 'That's nice of you to say,' she says at mention of the made-up title. But she'll still try self-deprecation for now. And as one of just two actors announced as coming back for season 2 of Haunting, you might call her the rising Queen of Netflix. She had a lot to do with two of Netflix's biggest recent successes, The Haunting of Hill House and You: In both roles, Pedretti brings a vulnerability to complicated characters that the audience can't help but be immediately drawn to.

Watching Pedretti, one gets the sense she won't be able to make this kind of joke for long. Pedretti wasn't there but, she deadpans,'It's all me. The Golden Globes were the previous night and Once Upon A Time… in Hollywood, in which Pedretti has a small role, was the big winner, Best Picture - Comedy or Musical. It's the first Monday of 2020, second and third cups of coffee are being poured, and Victoria Pedretti is cracking jokes.
