Bhagavan “Doc” Antle, the zoo owner brought to notoriety by Netflix’s Tiger King, has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to launder money and conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, which prohibits the trafficking of illegally obtained wildlife, including those protected through the Endangered Species Act. The U.S. Justice Department announced on Monday, Nov. 6, that the 63-year-old faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and three years of supervised release per count.

This article contains spoilers for the season 2 finale of Yellowjackets
The identity of the Antler Queen first seen in the Yellowjackets pilot has been one of the most intriguing mysteries of the series so far. We first see her during what has become known as the “pit girl” scene that shows an unknown survivor being hunted through the wilderness until she falls into a pit and dies. She is then butchered and offered to another unknown survivor wearing a crown of antlers for approval before the others are allowed to partake. This Antler Queen has long been thought to be Lottie Matthews (Courtney Eaton), but the season 2 finale shows that might not be the case going into Yellowjackets season 3.
After learning of the hunt that took place while she was recovering from being nearly beaten to death by Shauna (Sophie Nélisse), Lottie decides to relinquish her role as leader. She...

The opening scene of Netflix's "Yellowjackets" begins with one of the most haunting TV sequences in recent memory. A dark-haired girl in a nightgown runs through a frozen forest, looking scared for her life - and for good reason. As she runs, a pit opens up beneath her feet, and she falls in. The next frames show her limbs nailed to the ground with sticks, and then she's getting hung up by her feet and flayed while a bunch of people clad in animal skins look on. Eventually, after the girl's remains are placed in front of an antler-clad figure, the group devours her.
The specter of that scene haunts all of "Yellowjackets," which tells the story of a girls' soccer team who crash-land in a forest and are forced to survive there for 19 months. Interspersing that story with scenes set 25 years later - when...

[This story contains major spoilers to the season two finale of Yellowjackets, “Storytelling.”]
Sophie Thatcher is relieved that the season two finale of Yellowjackets has landed. It’s been buzzing around in her head for quite some time, and the double-whammy ending for the character of Natalie wasn’t an easy secret to keep. So, she told a couple of her friends.
“They made a big deal out of it but I was like, ‘You can’t tell anybody!'” she told The Hollywood Reporter, speaking shortly before the May 25 episode released. When asked which spoiler she shared — the one for teen or adult Nat — Thatcher says both: “It’s in a package to me.”
Thatcher plays Natalie Scatorccio, who is affectionately known as Nat, in the 1996 wilderness timeline of the hit Showtime series. In the penultimate episode, her character made the fateful decision to let Javi (Luciano Leroux) die in her place after she had pulled the Queen of Hearts; the young survivors,...

[This story contains spoilers from the seventh episode of Yellowjackets season two, “Burial.”]
Sunshine Honey’s Wellness Community is opening its doors to Yellowjackets viewers.
The Showtime series launched a stunt in the seventh episode of its second season, but only a viewer with citizen detective skills at the level of Walter (Elijah Wood) and Misty could have spotted it.
In the episode, titled “Burial,” the adult main cast of Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), Natalie (Juliette Lewis), Misty (Christina Ricci), Taissa (Tawny Cypress) and Van (Lauren Ambrose) finally reunite onscreen after a season spent apart when they arrive at the wilderness compound run by their fellow 1996 plane crash survivor, Lottie (Simone Kessell). The prior episode ended with all of the survivors laying eyes on Lottie, as the camera panned out to reveal that the infamous symbol at the center of the show (one promoted by Lottie as her spiritual power appears to grow stronger in the wilderness) is etched out in the grounds.

The second season of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” begins as winter finally envelops the Canadian Rockies and visits greater misery upon Wiskayok High’s girls soccer team. For the hit survival thriller’s costume department, though, it comes bearing a shot at an Emmy.
“Yellowjackets,” seventh in our combined Drama Series odds and clawing its way toward the top five, follows the aforementioned regional champions after the plane carrying them to nationals crashes in the wilderness, as well as their dysfunctional adult lives back in society two and a half decades later. The verdant setting to which they’d acclimated in Season 1 has become a gnarled, frostbitten Neverland. Amy Parris (“Stranger Things”), taking over for Emmy-winning costume designer Marie Schley (“Transparent”), rises to the creative challenge with striking designs that approximate what wardrobes for retro genre hits like “The Goonies” and “The Breakfast Club” would look like in an A24-produced folk horror.

This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of "Yellowjackets" season 2.
The second season of "Yellowjackets" has been so jam-packed with intriguing mysteries and exciting payoffs that it was easy to forget that one of its most recognizable motifs has been conspicuously absent. We've seen neither hide nor tail of The Antler Queen, an image that haunted the show throughout its first season before being revealed as Lottie's (Courtney Eaton) Doomcoming costume — until now.
The latest episode of "Yellowjackets" brings the Antler Queen back to the forefront in a big way, but also asks viewers to reconsider our established theories about the figure. In a breakthrough moment, present-day Lottie (Simone Kessell) treats Nat (Juliette Lewis) with a sort of hypnotic regression, asking her to focus on her voice and watch a blinking flashlight in order to remember her last moments with Travis. It works, perhaps too well.

The first season of Showtime's "Yellowjackets" enthralled a lot of viewers for good reason. The series, which could be inadequately summed up as "The Lord of the Flies" but with a 1990s high school girls' soccer team, successfully blended "Lost"-like mystery (with a hint of potential cannibalism) with the angst, anger, and trauma of often comes with being a teenage girl.
The "Yellowjackets" season 1 finale answered a few of the questions viewers spent weeks on subReddits trying to parse out. It mostly, however, left a slew of things unanswered. Back in 1996, those who are still alive after the plane crash are facing an ominous winter, while the four survivors we know about in the present day have come together to try to cover up an accidental murder. Season 1, in what has become expected "Yellowjackets" fashion, also ended on more than one cliffhanger. And even though we know from casting...

After months of anticipation and fantasy casting, the hit Showtime original "Yellowjackets" has finally found the adult version of our Antler Queen. New Zealand actor Simone Kessell has been cast to play Adult Lottie Matthews, one of the surviving members of the 1996 Wiskayok High School Varsity Girls Soccer team following a plane crash that stranded them in the Canadian wilderness for 19 months. "Yellowjackets" explores both the aftermath of the plane crash in the 1990s when the girls were teenagers, and the present day as they all struggle to exist as adults harboring huge secrets. When we last saw Lottie (Courtney Eaton) in 1996, she had killed a full-grown grizzly bear with a single knife to the head, solidifying her place as a pseudo soothsayer and garnering a small group of dedicated followers like Van (Liv Hewson) and Misty (Samantha Hanratty).
