Ahead of You’s third season, we got on a Zoom with Victoria Pedretti, who credits her career to the fact that “when my face relaxes, I look pretty miserable. Let’s say that it’s because of my resting existential-crisis face.” Casey_Mink writes
Photo: Julien Sage “God, all this stuff is starting to sound like I think I know something about psychology,” says Victoria Pedretti. She’s video-chatting from Los Angeles on what’s most likely a phone, based on the tenuous video quality. As her device is connecting to the call, her Zoom profile picture, which is a bygone headshot, occupies the square. “I think it’s funny that the picture is from when I was like 18,” she says with a laugh, just as her present-day form fills the screen.
It’s statements such as the above that make something else clear in speaking with Pedretti: She is vastly different from the ill-fated women she’s now known for playing. She’s an actor, so that makes sense, but as Nell on The Haunting of Hill House, as Dani on its follow-up Bly Manor, and now, as the murderess Love on the Netflix psycho-thriller, it seems her trademark has become portrayals of women who are in many ways defined by their trauma.
It’s somewhat confounding, then, that someone distrustful of and maybe even a bit hostile toward all-powerful entities would become the face of not one, not two, but three properties, on the most massive streaming service. Pedretti ventures that it was precisely her indifference that made it so. “Maybe, probably, because I didn’t care,” she says with a shrug.
Photo: Julien Sage Whatever you want to call Pedretti’s preternatural ability to transmit dread, it was enough for The Haunting creator Mike Flanagan to enlist her in his acting troupe, a pool of performers he frequently recasts; he immediately hired her to lead 2020’s Bly Manor following 2018’s Hill House. The former also solidified her as a Lesbian Meme Queen and a favorite subject of Queer Tumblr.
Having been picked up from Lifetime, You became a gangbusters hit for Netflix, and the new season is all but guaranteed to herald more opportunities for Pedretti. But so far, the meteoric success she’s attained hasn’t stifled her spirit of nihilism. If anything, it’s caused her to double down on the inanity of the attention she’s now receiving, and to question why she — or anyone with a dusting of celebrity — has the kind of platform where she can speak and actually be heard.
