If you're just starting "You" or plan to do so soon, here's a spoiler-free breakdown of every major character on the show.

Joe Goldberg is the leading man.

The main character on "You" is Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley), a book-loving, book store clerk in New York City who finds himself suddenly obsessed with a recent customer. He is the narrator of the story which is told, for the most part, from his first-person point of view. Joe is, undeniably, a stalker, which is the whole premise for the show. Although he is intelligent, Joe's dark side is present from the very first episode.

Guinevere Beck is an aspiring writer.

The woman Joe instantly becomes obsessed with is Guinevere Beck (Elizabeth Lail): a graduate student with a love for literature and writing. At the start of the season, she's in a rough spot. She is in need of money, dating a not-so-great man and dealing with some clear personal issues. It seems like she's looking for a knight in shining armor, which is why Joe feels so comfortable swooping in.

Paco is Joes neighbor.

Living next door to Joe is Paco (Luca Padovan), a young, impressionable boy who's dealing with living with his mother and her abusive boyfriend. Joe takes Paco under his wing, lending him books and words of wisdom when he can.

Peach Salinger is Becks close friend.

Revealed to be a distant relative of J.D. Salinger, Peach (Shay Mitchell) is one of Beck's closest friends. She's a New York heiress with a nose for sniffing out bad men and she instantly has some suspicions about Joe and his motives. She's very close to Beck and wants to help her in any way possible.

Annika Attwater is Becks social media influencer friend.

Another one of Beck's best friends is Annika Attwater (Kathryn Gallagher), a social media influencer. She's full of energy and always in the mood to make someone smile and post a picture on Instagram.

Lynn Lieser is Becks friend, too.

Beck's third best friend is Lynn Lieser (Nicole Kang). She's similar to Annika in terms of being a young 20-something who loves to have fun and live extravagantly.

Ron is Joes neighbors boyfriend.

Ron (Daniel Cosgrove) is Paco's mother's abusive boyfriend. In addition to mistreating Paco, Ron hates Joe. Ron is known for having a short temper.
