Netflix's You star Shalita Grant discusses 'making history' on the hit show

Netflix's You season three star Shalita Grant graced our screens as the quirky influencer Sherry Conrad. As if appearing in the third series of the popular series wasn't exciting enough, the actress, who has also appeared in shows such as Mercy Street and Santa Clarita Diet, has now gushed over her character making HISTORY on the show.

To be super clear, there are some major spoilers to come, so if you haven't quite binged all 10 episodes of series three yet, we suggest saving yourself the heartache and reading up on this one when you're finished.

As those of you who have finished You season three will know, Sherry finds herself in a pretty sticky situation towards the end of the series, as the infamous Joe Goldberg and Love Quinn lock her in the glass box in the basement, alongside her husband Cary.

As well as being a shocking twist for the show, fans may have noticed that this is in fact the first time a couple have been sealed away in Joe's glass cage.

Speaking to TV Line, the actress gushed: "We were the first caged couple! That was one of the first things that Sera Gamble, our brilliant showrunner, told us. We were going to be making history within this series as the first caged couple."

Travis Van Winkle, who plays Sherry's husband Cary, opened up about how we see the pair's characters develop as they experience being locked in the infamous box, saying: "All of their layers were peeled back when they got into that cage, and what you realize is that they're a damn good team.

"You spend most of the season not liking Sherry and Cary, but then you see them in the cage."

Did he miss the part where he shot Sherry in the ear?

Not only were Sherry and Cary, played by Shalita and Travis, the first couple to be locked in the cage together, but they were the second (and third) people to get out of there alive - preceded by none other than the real Will Bettelheim.
