Warning: This article contains spoilers for the third season of You. The third season of You is set in the fictional California town of Madre Linda, one so wealthy and insular it can sustain a strong clique among the enclave's adults.
But that's not how Grant thinks of Sherry. No monarch is purely good or evil. Sherry and her husband, Cary Travis van Winkle , are perfectly matched as self-promotional millennials who turned their personal brands into a career. Sherry is a "momfluencer" who documents her life with two children; Cary markets his fitness-centric lifestyle to seem accessible to aspiring he-men.
At first, theirs appear to be a marriage of convenience. But there's more to Sherry and Cary, and their marriage, than meets the eye. In episode 7, audiences learn Sherry's regal baring may the byproduct of her extracurricular hobby. Turns out the adults of Madre Linda are in bed together, and not in a metaphorical sense. Sherry and Cary are at the nexus of the town's swingers.
Joe and Love are masquerading as newlyweds, but actually are serial killers for whom taking a life is as a casual an act as, say, taking a bath. After their sultry evening goes off script, Sherry and Cary end up locked in Joe's cage, unsure if they'll ever see Madre Linda's palm trees or their Instagram followers again. Speaking to Oprah Daily, Grant unpacks the show's action-packed swinging sequence, her time in the box, and what she learned from playing Sherry.
In short? Oprah Daily: Did you learn anything from playing Sherry? Shalita Grant: Yeah, actually. For Sherry, I focused on the marriage aspect of it, and what keeps marriages together. I had all this judgement about this specific marriage. You have to just live. But honestly, their marriage stayed together! OD: How does it feel to play a character in the very small club of characters who survive Joe Goldberg?
