Pedretti, 23, is slated to play Love Quinn, a chef-hopeful who works as a produce manager at a “high-end” grocery store in Los Angeles, Deadline reported.

Unlike the first season’s female lead, Guinevere Beck — who is played by Elizabeth Lail — Quinn has no interest in social media. Rather, she is focused on “leading an interesting life,” according to the publication, which added her character is going through “deep grief” when she’s first introduced to actor Penn Badgley’s obsessive, stalker character: Joe Goldberg.

She also has a spot in the yet-to-be-released Quentin Tarantino film “Once upon a Time in Hollywood,” among other roles, according to the publication.
