Shay Mitchell Was Instantly Hooked To New Show 'You'

Shay Mitchell stops to talk with her friends while out in New York City on Wednesday morning (September 5).

The 31-year-old actress recently opened up more about her new series, You, and what initially drew her to the show.

“I read the pilot episode while I was on a flight, and as soon as I landed, I called everybody,” she explains to ET Canada. “I was like ‘I don’t care if I’m on this show or not, I need to know when it’s going to air because I need to watch it. I need to know what happens next.’”

Shay also went on to explain how the show opens up and talks about the dangers of social media.

“There were moments where I was like ‘done that before’…now, you are using it [social media] to find out about people.”

You premieres this month on Lifetime.

FYI: Shay is wearing Prada Eyewear sunglasses.
