Sophie Nélisse has wrapped on Yellowjackets, the show which catapulted her to fame as teen Shauna to Melanie Lynskey’s adult Shauna.
Sophie Nélisse on Instagram:
Not to get sentimental, but it’s hard to find the words to encapsulate the end of this chapter. This show – and everyone apart of it – truly has changed my life.
[Melanie Lynskey] sharing Shauna with you has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. You are a second mom to me and I can only aspire to become half the women that you are.
[Courtney Eaton} you are one of the greatest gifts life has given me. You are my rock. My partner in crime. My forever potato.
To all my Yellowjackets, I will forever be howling to IT with you guys. To everyone that poured all their love and relentless work into the show for the last 7 years, it’s an honor I’ll never take for granted.

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, 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.
In the final season, we will see what happens when the teens are rescued and try to reintegrate into their former lives.

These girls have changed remarkably, for better or for worse, in their time out there, especially because of their age. They’re so malleable to begin with, and they’ve become very different people, And to see those people readjust to a world that is almost — I wouldn’t say insignificant to them; it’s obviously very significant — foreign to them now in a way that we think would be really ripe for storytelling and to dig deeper into their characters. — Co-creator Ashley Lyle to the Los Angeles Times.
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?
Molly Ringwald as Van’s Mom and June Squibb in an unidisclosed role joined the final season.
