Once upon a time a bunch of girls got stranded in the wilderness. They hunted their friends, feasted on their flesh and they went completely nuts.
BC-filmed Yellowjackets season 3 drops a trailer ahead of its Valentine Day’s premiere.
Yellowjackets is about a group of survivors from a girls’ high-school soccer team who 20+ years ago were stranded deep in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash and forced to go feral to survive.
Season 2 ended with the Yellowjackets cabin shelter burned to the ground in the Wilderness. Season 3 starts months later in a new Wilderness camp with teepees.
As summer arrives, the Yellowjackets face a fragile victory — the brutal winter that nearly claimed them is finally behind them, but distrust in leadership and tension within the team jeopardize their chances of being rescued. In the present, long-buried secrets from their pasts begin to surface. As the women fight to keep their lives from unraveling, they must confront a chilling question: who are they really, and what dark truths are they hiding from each other and themselves?”
The Past: Yellowjackets continue to fight for survival after a brutal winter in The Wilderness.
Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) was the new Antler Queen of the teen survivors at the end of season 2.
But there seems to be a leadership shakeup.
You’re not in charge anymore. — teen Shauna to teen Natalie.

The Present: Still reeling from adult Natalie’s death, the survivors are forced to uncover secrets they thought were buried for good.
The past has come back to hunt them. Season 2 ended with them mourning the death of adult Natalie (Juliette Lewis) in a ritualistic hunt gone wrong.
But now someone is trying to kill them. Is it adult Misty (Christina Ricci)? 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.
Think about how screwed up we would be if we had survived a plane crash only to end up eating each other — adult Misty tries to gaslight Callie who’s having none of it.
Some fans are predicting Hilary Swank’s character will be the adult version of teen survivor Melissa.

You really are insane.

It’s good to see teen Jackie (Fallout star Ella Purnell) continues to haunt adult Shauna.

[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 last June..
Season 3 wrapped production in Vancouver last October.
