Victoria Pedretti Actually Auditioned For A Different Role In You

Season 4 of “You” does not yet have a release date, per TV Guide, so it’ll be awhile before fans know for sure if Love Quinn is actually dead. But even if she is, Victoria Pedretti’s arc still lasted longer than it would’ve had she gotten the role she auditioned for initially. According to the actor’s interview with Byrdie, she actually auditioned to play the role of Guinevere Beck (played by Elizabeth Lail), Joe Goldberg’s Season 1 obsession. “I auditioned for Beck during my first time in LA while I was showcasing with my university,” shared Pedretti. “I got pretty far in the audition process. It was the furthest I had ever gotten in an audition process.” Afterward, the actor pushed the audition from her mind until “You” producers Greg Berlanti and Sera Gamble saw her performance in “The Haunting of Hill House” and reached out to her personally.  “I haven’t even talked to them about whether or not they remember me auditioning for Beck, to be honest.” 

Ultimately, Goldberg murdered Beck at the season’s close, so it’s probably safe to say Pedretti’s happy she didn’t land the role of Guinevere. Lail, who played the object of Goldberg’s affection, wished her arc had turned out differently. “The unfortunate thing is, the woman doesn’t win in the end,” Lail shared with Radio Times, referring to Beck’s unfortunate end, adding, “And I’m so sick and tired of that.”
