What happened in the Wilderness is far from over.
Season 2 of the twice Emmy-nominated Yellowjackets ended with the teen survivors in 1996 without shelter while Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) becomes the new Antler Queen and the adult survivors in 2021 mourning the death of Natalie (Juliette Lewis) in a ritualistic hunt gone wrong.
Yellowjackets is about a group of survivors from a girls’ high-school soccer team who 25 years ago were stranded deep in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash and forced to go feral to survive.
Entertainment Weekly has some first look season 3 images of the BC-filmed series.
Teepees in the Wilderness: Courtney Eaton as teen Lottie, Liv Hewson as teen Van, Sophie Nélisse as teen Shauna, Sophie Thatcher as teen Natalie, Jasmin Savoy Brown as teen Taissa.

Natalie’s funeral. Tawny Cypress as adult Taissa, Lauren Ambrose as adult Van, Melanie Lynskey as adult Shauna.
Christina Ricci’s adult Misty is missing — maybe because she’s busy burning a photo of her fellow adult survivors.
[Season 3 will be] even more shocking and surprising than the previous seasons. It’s definitely going to be brutal. But they also put a lot of comedy into it. So I think it’s just going to be … extremely Yellowjackets-y — Christina Ricci told The Hollywood Reporter in June..

Longer synopsis:
Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
