You fans puzzled by major change in season three trailer - and share dark theory for it

The third season of Netflix's You is set to be released on October 15 and fans can't wait to find out how the murderous Joe Goldberg (played by Penn Badgley) will handle being a father.

A trailer for the next instalment was recently shared online, revealing Joe and his partner Love are having a baby boy that they will call Henry and the new parents will stop at nothing to protect their child.

However, eagle-eyed fans noticed that this information was a big change from what viewers discovered at the end of the last season.

In the season two finale episode, Joe as the narrator confesses that they are expecting a little girl - not a boy.

Fans have been left puzzled by this change, with a number of videos cropping up on TikTok sharing possible theories.

A user named Erin uploaded a video pointing out the discrepancy and asking people to respond with their thoughts.

She said: "Ok so the You trailer just came out for season three and he talks about having a son, but then I totally forgot at the end of season two, he talks about his daughter."

Erin then inserts a clip from the show, where Joe can be heard saying: "I'm ready to meet my daughter, I'm ready to be the good father I never had, to make the family I always dreamed of.

"The one she deserves."

Erin continues: "But in the trailer, Joe is talking about his son he's gonna name Henry, so what's going on?!"

Her video has been viewed over 700,000 times and garnered more than 65,000 likes.

Many fans of the hit Netflix show were also puzzled by the change, but some reminded her that in the trailer, Joe does say a boy was not what they were expecting.

One person had a rather dark theory that Love might have lost her baby and then instead kidnaps a boy.

They said: "Okay but she's already crazy, right, they both are, so what if baby girl doesn't make it, she snaps and kidnaps a baby from the hospital but it's a boy."

Another replied: "Maybe she's having twins."

A third wrote: "It's something crazy, it's not going to be simple like the ultrasound tech was wrong."

Someone else stated: "Love said she just felt like it was a girl, they never actually really knew for sure yet."

A different user added: "Okay, in the books though at the end of book two he is hoping for a daughter, but in book three he ends up having a son."
