Molly Ringwald joins Yellowjackets for its fourth and final season of filming in Vancouver.
In the 2010s, Ringwald had a recurring role on Riverdale as redhead Archie’s Mom.
Now she will recur on Yellowjackets as redhead Van (Lauren Ambrose)’s Mom, according to Deadline: Hollywood.
Will she take revenge on adult Melissa (Hilary Swank) for killing her daughter last season?
Veteran actress June Squibb joins Yellowjackets too for the fourth and final season in an undisclosed role.
Last survivor?
What is Yellowjackets about?
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 went feral.
At the end of season 3, stranded-in-the-wilderness teen Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) broke away from the Winter hunt and cannibalistic feast of Mari aka Pit Girl to climb a mountain and make contact with the outside world.
The teen Yellowjackets survivors will be rescued in the fourth and final season.
After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season — creators and co-showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson.
How did season 3 end?
In the teen survivors 1990s timeline, scary teen Shauna (Sophie Nélisse) is the new ruthless Antler Queen, wearing locks of butchered Mari’s long black hair.
In the adult survivors 2020s timeline, scary adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) vowed to reclaim her power.
It’s all coming back to me now. The danger. The thrill. The person I was back then. Not a wife or a mother, I was a warrior. I was a f—king queen. I let all of it slip away from me. It’s time to start taking it back. — adult Shauna.
Here she is taking a bite out of adult Melissa (Hilary Swank)’s arm.
Can adult Misty (Christina Ricci) and Taissa (Tawny Cypress) take down Shauna?
Steven Krueger’s coach Ben, Alexa Barajas’s Mari aka Pit Girl, Simone Kessell’s adult Lottie and Lauren Ambrose’s adult Van all died in season 3 and will not be returning as series regulars for the fourth and final season. But there could be flashbacks?
The final season of Yellowjackets started production today.
