Are you ready for another solar eclipse?
One of the most polarizing series of the last 20 years is staging a comeback.

The good news is that it won’t be rewriting history. It will share a universe with the original series and the 2015 limited series reboot, Heroes: Reborn.

Yellowjackets Season 2 left fans with more questions than answers during the season finale in 2023.
And with many popular shows getting canceled without resolutions, a lot of viewers worry that the hit drama/horror show Yellowjackets might be one of them.
Has Showtime announced a new season of Yellowjackets? And if so, will we see all of our favorite Yellowjackets return? Here's everything we know about the upcoming Season 3 horror drama Yellowjackets.
Has Yellowjackets Been Renewed?
Hot on the heels of the success of Yellowjackets Season 1, the Showtime network announced plans for Seasons 2 and Season 3.
According to Showtime and Paramount Media Networks CEO and President Chris McCarthy, "Season 1's success was so impressive, we fast-tracked the approval of Season 3 to maximize the momentum."
So, before Season 2 even aired, we knew there was another season to come.
Perhaps that should have prepared many viewers for the major cliffhangers we experienced with the Season 2 finale,...

[This story contains spoilers from the Feb. 22, 2024 episode of Law & Order, “Last Dance.”]
Jack McCoy left the world of Law & Order the way he came into it — in a courtroom.
Sam Waterston said goodbye to the long-running NBC franchise in Thursday’s episode, ending his 19-season, 405-episode run as prosecutor-turned-New York County District Attorney Jack McCoy. Waterston’s final episode saw Jack returning to the courtroom to finish trying a murder case in which the defendant is a billionaire with close ties to New York’s mayor.
The episode, titled “Last Dance” and written by showrunner Rick Eid, constructs a solid but not slam-dunk case against Scott Kelton (Rob Benedict), who’s accused of killing a former employee, Veronica Knight (Shay Guthrie), who was about to go public with an accusation that he had sexually assaulted her several years earlier. McCoy instructs prosecutor Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) not to accept a plea deal with less than a 10-year sentence...

Fans of Showtime‘s hit drama series Yellowjackets have a long wait ahead of them, as Deadline reports that the third season will not be premiering until 2025. This is due to the production delays caused by the WGA and SAG strikes last summer, with pre-production on the psychological drama shut down just one day after the WGA strike began in May. According to Deadline, the writers room for the show reopened in September. Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, Yellowjackets follows a high school girls’ soccer team involved in a plane crash in 1996 and the aftermath of the event years later. It stars Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose, and Simone Kessell in lead roles. Despite the long wait until a new season, the cast has been keeping fans invested by teasing what’s to come, with Steven Krueger, who plays Coach Ben, anticipating “the wildest,...

Fans of supernatural cannibal drama Yellowjackets are facing a long wait for season 3 which won’t grace our screens until 2025 now.
In 2023, Hollywood came to a standstill for several months while writers and actors went on strike for better terms and conditions. The effects of those strikes are still being felt.
Yellowjackets is one of the many shows that faces a long delay in getting a new season out. Showtime’s drama aired its second season earlier in 2023, which ended on a pretty shocking note – you’ll have to watch the series to find out exactly what that note was.
Deadline now reports that Yellowjackets season 3 is looking at a 2025 release. The pre-production of the new season was interrupted by the writers’ strike just one day in, and writing only got back underway in September 2023.
The series follows a girls football team that find themselves stranded in the woods after a plane crash.

While fans of the Showtime series Yellowjackets (read our review of season 2 Here) patiently wait to see the bonus episode that’s going to air sometime between the second and third seasons, showrunners Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson, and Jonathan Lisco have confirmed that they and the writers that populate the show’s writing room are deep into the writing process on Yellowjackets season 3.
The show’s writers had already assembled to work on the next batch of episodes when the Writers Guild strike hit at the start of May – and that strike kept the development of season 3 on hold through the end of September.

This story about the editors of “Yellowjackets” first ran in the Drama Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
The opening theme to “Yellowjackets” goes, “keep simple, nothing tired,” and this mantra could not apply more to the people who might actually be the true heroes behind the Showtime hit: the tireless editing team. The drama’s second season about a group of women grappling with the aftermath of a crash landing in the wilderness in their youth has pushed the envelope even further (cults! cannibalism!) and introduced more characters (including Elijah Wood’s wealthy amateur sleuth). But for two of the prominent editors on the show, Kevin D. Ross and Jeff Israel, it was just another day at the office, conveniently located in their own residences.
“We all work from home, so we have to keep contact in with each other constantly,” Israel said. “They’re writing the episodes...

Most notable is Melanie Lynskey, who earned a Best Actress bid for playing Shauna Sadecki last year and currently ranks second in our odds to win the prize this time around. Cast mates joining her in the Best Drama Actress field are Tawny Cypress (Taissa Turner), Juliette Lewis (Natalie Scatorccio) and the teen version of Shauna, Sophie Nélisse.

"Yellowjackets" was renewed for season three before the second season even premiered this spring, promising fans more chaos, cults, and cannibalism. Showtime confirmed season three in December 2022. The show's creators, Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, have planned for the story of the ill-fated New Jersey soccer champs to be told over the course of five seasons, so the next season will put the story over the halfway mark.
But when the third season will finally air is, unfortunately, a huge unknown thanks to the ongoing writers' strike. Back in March, Lyle and Nickerson told The Hollywood Reporter that they were trying to start writing the new season before the strike began. "The possibility of the strike is very real. All we can do is keep moving forward until we have to put our pencils down," Lyle said. She added that the writers' room would begin officially meeting in April.

The Yellowjackets are currently on strike, but they’re going to return with something for fans to buzz about. A bonus episode of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” is expected to premiere before Season 3 officially premieres, showrunner Ashley Lyle has said on Twitter.
Lyle, who created the series with her husband Bart Nickerson and co-showruns with him and Jonathan Lisco, revealed the news when responding to a fan’s tweet claiming they stayed up late in the hope that a surprise bonus episode would premiere on the Showtime app.
“Noooo. Go to bed! Get some rest!” Lyle tweeted in response to the fan account. “There will be a bonus episode between seasons, but I love you guys and I don’t want y’all to lose sleep thinking it’s tonight.”
When contacted by IndieWire, Showtime declined to comment on Lyle’s announcement.

The show’s sophomore season may have been a snowcapped misery tour for its characters, but Showtime’s pitch-black drama about cannibalistic teen survivors — and their adult trauma — did not cease to shock and entertain over the course of its nine-episode run this spring.
“Yellowjackets” executive producer and director Karyn Kusama will join actress Christina Ricci and music supervisor Nora Felder at IndieWire’s annual Consider This event for a panel, this Saturday, June 3 in Los Angeles. The series clinched seven Emmy nominations in 2022, and some of the show’s biggest champions made an appearance at IndieWire’s 2022 Consider This brunch.

Jackie Taylor may have died at the end of “Yellowjackets'” first season, but Ella Purnell‘s Emmy hopes for the second season are still very much alive.
While there’s not yet official confirmation that Purnell has been submitted for the Showtime hit this year — we’ll know for sure when Emmy ballots are released for the start of voting on June 15 — she is eligible in Best Drama Guest Actress, having appeared in new footage in less than 50 percent of the show’s nine episodes this season.

Spoilers for "Yellowjackets" follow.
My favorite "Yellowjackets" character is Natalie Scatorccio (Sophie Thatcher/Juliette Lewis), the most grounded, no-bs of the 1996 plane crash survivors and seemingly the group's conscience. I've written before that she is the series' heart and soul, but after the season 2 finale — "Storytelling" — I realized that I hadn't considered if Natalie herself would agree with that description.
In "Storytelling," Natalie says in both past and present that she doesn't see herself as a good person. We already knew that she accidentally caused her abusive father to shoot himself when she was younger. Season 2, episode 8 —"It Chooses" — reveals that she let Javi (Luciano Leroux) drown to save herself from ritual sacrifice, exacerbating her survivor's guilt.
Most "Yellowjackets" fans, myself included, thought this would be the last straw for Nat. Some theorized that the survivors were ultimately rescued because she left them in disgust, made it back to civilization,...

This post contains spoilers for the season 2 finale of "Yellowjackets."
When the starving, superstitious plane crash survivors who make up the core cast of "Yellowjackets" went tearing after Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) in last week's episode, determined to hunt her down after she drew the queen card that sealed her fate, I was still convinced this could have been a one-time thing. Sure, the very first scene of the "Yellowjackets" pilot shows teammates hunting a girl who falls into a pit, then gathering around to feast on her flesh. But in the world of "Yellowjackets," little is as it seems and the most surreal moments often turn out to be hallucinatory. Would the girls really turn this human hunt into a way of life?
Judging by this week's finale, the answer is yes. When the adult Yellowjackets gather at Lottie's (Simone Kessell) compound for a night that escalates to a bloodthirsty,...

"Yellowjackets" is the type of show that's able to elicit a half-dozen different emotions from viewers in the span of just a few minutes. One second, you can be laughing at Jeff (Warren Kole) as he laments that he won't be able to Google himself anymore if he goes on the run, and the next you can be gasping over Kevyn's (Alex Wyndham) death. The show is often scary, funny, and often deeply emotional, but arguably no episode has been more downright heartbreaking than last night's finale.
The hour saw multiple deaths, losses, and changes of fortune for the Yellowjackets, from the aforementioned poisoning of Kevyn to the fire that engulfed the hunting lodge to the crowning of teen Natalie as the new antler queen. Decades later, though, we also saw grown-up Natalie (Juliette Lewis) meet her end, as she...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Yellowjackets Season 2 finale “Storytelling.”] There’s a lot to dissect about the end of Yellowjackets Season 2. Don’t worry: We have you covered. Simone Kessell talks us through the tragic finale where her character, present-day Lottie, revived the ritual of the hunt, ultimately leading to the death of Natalie (Juliette Lewis). The group’s onetime leader was mistakenly killed by a horrified Misty (Christina Ricci) and died surrounded by the other wilderness survivors: Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), Taissa (Tawny Cypress), and Van (Lauren Ambrose). Kessell shares what it was like to shoot those final scenes, how she can’t listen to a certain Radiohead song anymore, and what she’s hoping for in Season 3. The heart of this episode was this resolution of Lottie and Natalie’s long and twisted relationship, and it really ends in tragedy for both. Natalie dies and Lottie is on her way to being institutionalized again.

One of the things we love most about the dark Showtime series “Yellowjackets” is all the fantastic ’90s music. Half of the show takes place in 1996, when high school girls’ soccer team crash lands in the wilderness and half is set 25 years later, with the still traumatized adult survivors.
Season 2 features an exclusive track by Florence + the Machine, an eerie cover of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” Sharon Van Etten’s “Seventeen,” and such ’90s feminist icons as Tori Amos.
And of course, we love the kind of creepy main title theme, “No Return,” by Craig Wedren and Anna Waronker. The opening credits from Season 1 teased some of the things we would see unfold, and the updated Season 2 credits sequence also gives us hints at what we’ll see in upcoming episodes.

No lie. The tragic season finale of Yellowjackets made us cry by killing off tormented bad-ass Natalie (Juliette Lewis) who was finally starting to heal from her ’90s wilderness trauma. We also shed a tear for the bleak state of her grieving surviving friends: Misty (Christina Ricci), broken with guilt about accidentally killing Nat; Lottie (Simone Kessell), unhinged and about to be hospitalized; Tai (Tawny Cypress) and Van (Lauren Ambrose) whose suddenly rekindled passion has chilled just as quickly; and teary Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) who can’t deny that her daughter Callie (Sarah Desjardins) has inherited her mom’s capacity for violence. The one person who seemed the most stable at the episode’s end was Shauna’s husband Jeff (Warren Kole) – sweet, earnest, furniture salesman Jeff Sadecki! Sure, he watched his old high school friend Kevyn (Alex Wyndham) drop dead and then helped Misty’s murderer boyfriend Walter (Elijah Wood) move the body.

Even though "Yellowjackets" fans are always hungry for more, the Showtime series' sophomore season has come to an end. Season 3 has already been confirmed, but it'll be a while before it airs; for what it's worth, the gap between seasons 1 and 2 was 16 months, the former beginning on November 14, 2021, and the latter on March 24, 2023.
Fear not, antler queens, because there's a movie out there perfect to tide you over. "Ravenous," directed by the late Antonia Bird. Released in 1999, the film's genre is just as hard to pin down as that of "Yellowjackets" — "Ravenous" oscillates from horror to bemused comedy, sometimes in the same scene. What the two works do have in common is that they're both stories about people on the edge of civilization, goaded by supernatural forces to devour their fellow man.

Season 2 of "Yellowjackets" is over and though it wasn't always paced to my liking, the last three episodes bowled me over. I think the season demonstrates how, for good or ill, character and structure are intertwined in storytelling. What made the 2021 storyline of "Yellowjackets" season 1 good was the characters. In the present day, there's less urgency and sustained mystery than in the 1996 wilderness storyline. So the characters' interactions, and all the intrigue and black comedy carried within them, were what sustained interest.
Watching the Yellowjackets plotting to find out who's blackmailing them or covering up the murder of Adam (Peter Gadiot) was just as exciting as seeing their teenage selves struggle to survive. The debut season's highlight was Misty following Natalie around like a poodle desperate for love — the manic Christina Ricci and dour Juliette Lewis was the salt-and-pepper, '90s screen queen pairing I never knew I needed.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from “Storytelling,” the Season 2 finale of “Yellowjackets,” now streaming on Showtime.
The second season of “Yellowjackets” has come to a dark and twisted end. In the 1996 timeline, teen Lottie (Courtney Eaton) handed over the role of leader of the wilderness to Natalie (Sophie Thatcher), as all the young girls bowed to her, confirming she was, in fact, the Antler Queen. However, the celebration was cut short as a fire sparked in the middle of the night. While everyone escaped, the group was left standing outside in the snow, watching flames encapsulate their home.
In the present timeline, the group once again drew cards to see who the wilderness wanted — an idea suggested by Lottie (Simone Kessell). Before they performed this old ritual, Natalie (Juliette Lewis) warned the rest of the residents to leave, including Lisa (Nicole Maines), to whom she had grown close throughout...

“Yellowjackets” has returned, and if you thought things couldn’t get any more wild on the Showtime drama series, prepare to be proven wrong. Season 2 continues the bifurcated storylines of the titular soccer team stranded after a plane crash in the 1990s, and the grown-up survivors dealing with their past trauma in present day.
New revelations, expanded mythology and new characters permeate the new season as the story barrels forward, with Shauna, Taissa, Misty, Natalie all returning.
Elijah Wood joins the cast as Walter, a citizen detective, while Lauren Ambrose appears in Season 2 as the adult version of Van (played in the 1990s timeline by Liv Hewson) and Simone Kessell plays the adult version of Lottie (played in the ‘90s by Courtney Eaton).
The new season picks up pretty immediately after Season 1 left off, with the survivors dealing with a harsh winter and dwindling food supply back in 1996 while the...

Yellowjackets Season 2 Episode 8
The cabin fever escalates yet again in the past, and in the present, the survivors have the most macabre group therapy session ever in “It Chooses,” the penultimate episode of Yellowjackets’ second season. The show continues to benefit from having the present-day characters convened at Charlotte’s wellness center, and while the ‘90s segments suffer from some head-scratching character behavior, it’s still entertaining as ever watching the group descend ever deeper into madness.
Last week’s episode saw Shauna have a huge moment, unleashing her resentment and rage on Lottie in what was one of the show’s most graphic, ultra-violent moments to date, which is saying a lot. Lottie’s idea was to sacrifice her body to let Shauna exercise her demons, and it seems to have worked. We see Shauna helping the others care for Lottie, who’s obviously in horrendous shape,...

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Yellowjackets, Season 2 Episode 8, “It Chooses.”]
After a riveting first season filled with sonic callbacks to the ’90s, Season 2 of Showtime’s Yellowjackets kicked off with a similarly wistful tone, thanks to the new trailer, spotlighting Florence and the Machine’s cover of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl.”
Season 1 of the series took viewers back to 1996 when a young group of soccer players survives a plane crash and the aftermath forced the characters to deal with a string of psychologically unfortunate events. Considering when the story starts, music from the era is paramount to the series. So far, we’ve heard everything from Portishead’s “Glory Box” to “Rump Shaker” by Wreckx-n-Effect in the series, with Season 2 promising to keep that same energy while jumping in between timelines.
The ’90s part of the series shows Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Sammi Hanratty, Liv Hewson, and Courtney Eaton playing...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “It Chooses,” Episode 8 of “Yellowjackets” Season 2, now streaming on Showtime.
In the last moments of the Season 1 finale of “Yellowjackets,” viewers were tipped to the fact that Lottie was alive and well, and out there somewhere in the world. In the show’s second season, the adult version of Lottie, played by Simone Kessell, is revealed to be running a wellness center in Upstate New York — and there’s been an air of doubt around her. Can she be trusted or not?
As it turns out, not.
Lottie’s sessions with her therapist have been purely a figment of her imagination, and she’s still haunted by the Antler Queen, as well as her past in the wilderness.
Episode 8 sees Lottie’s mask really come off, as she reveals to her fellow Yellowjackets that they have to make a blood sacrifice, and their...

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “Yellowjackets” Season 2 Episode 8, “It Chooses.”]
“Does a hunt that have no violence feed anyone?”
That’s the question posed to Lottie (Simone Kessell) by her “therapist” — quickly revealed to be her subconscious — in “Yellowjackets” Season 2, Episode 7, the question whose answer and meaning reveal themselves in ghastly fashion in Episode 8, “It Chooses.” Not only are our survivors starved and delirious, but they now hunger as much for food as for fight to acquire it.
Directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer and written by Sarah L. Thompson & Liz Phang, “It Chooses” is littered with indicators of everyone reaching the end of their tether during the bleak midwinter. There is hunger, there is starvation, and then there is whatever this is; exhaustion, blurred vision, hallucinations of blood spilling from the walls, cradling your pet mouse corpse and being tempted to take a bite out of his emaciated body. Only Nat (Sophie Thatcher) says it,...

This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of "Yellowjackets."
I don't know about you, but I think I might have to unsubscribe from Lottie's cult's email list. The plane crash survivor turned new-age commune leader has straddled the line between impressive (we've seen a lot of her unorthodox treatments work) and questionable (she's getting her advice from a therapist who's actually the Antler Queen) all season, but in the latest episode, she finally went where I can't follow. I'm not the only one, either; when Lottie (Simone Kessell) tells her fellow survivors they should play a game of poison roulette with cups of tea, pretty much none of them are on board. The girls who once zealously followed Lottie's every order in the woods are in the real world now, and it doesn't seem like a place where the rules of the forest apply.
According to Lottie, though,...
