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.
Season 2 of the twice Emmy-nominated show ended with the adult survivors in 2021 mourning the death of Natalie (Juliette Lewis) in a ritualistic hunt gone wrong on Lottie’s compound.
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..
Someone wants to kill us — adult Shauna.
Is it Misty? There’s a scene in the trailer of Misty seemingly stabbing Shauna. And if that’s not enough, Shauna’s daughter Callie (Sarah Desjardins) wants to know what really happened in the Wilderness and the ghost of teen Jackie (Ella Purnell) is haunting adult Shauna.
In the Wilderness, season 2 ended with Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) as the new Antler Queen of the teen survivors in 1996.
But there seems to be a leadership shakeup.
You’re not in charge anymore. — teen Shauna to teen Natalie.
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.
