You season three lands on Netflix this weekend - and we're promised it's going to be the most shocking series yet.

As Joe and Love move to a new town to make a fresh start, they've got a whole host of new characters to meet. One of them is Sherry Conrad, who's played by Shalita Grant - and she's said she can't wait for you to hate her character.

You season three comes packaged as ten one-hour episodes, and they all land at once, so there's plenty for you to binge on. And if you can't quite remember what's happened so far, here's a season one and two recap.

Who is Shalita Grant?

Shalita Grant is an American actress who's best known for playing Special Agent Sonja Percy on NCIS: New Orleans. She's also known for her roles on Mercy Street, Santa Clarita Diet, and Search Party.

Born on 28th August 1988 in Baltimore, Maryland, Grant is 33-years-old in 2021.

Grant attended the prestigious Juilliard school and graduated with B.F.A. in drama. She's also appeared on Broadway shows as well as on TV and in films.

Grant will play Joe and Love's 'mom-fluencer' neighbour Sherry in the third instalment of You.

Sherry comes across friendly and welcoming, but she's actually a snide mean girl, who only pretends to like Love.

Speaking to Bustle, Grant said, " I cannot wait for people to be like 'I hated you' [in the show]."

Grant's character is married to another newcomer to the show, Cary (Travis Van Winkle), who invites Joe into his inner circle.

Speaking of the character's persona and relationship with Cary, Grant told Bustle: "[Before I got divorced], I would've had all the judgement in the world [of Sherry], and part of the work would've been to scale back the judgement on this woman and her marriage."

"Hopefully people understand why she's so b*tchy [to] Love: she's protecting a very precarious inner circle ... letting some new person in is not easy."

Is Shalita Grant married?

Shalita Grant married commercial director Sabrina Skau in 2018. But the two divorced and she's now dating MMA fighter Jessica Auguilar.
