Once upon a time, a bunch of teenage girls crashed in the wilderness, and – well, we know what happened. But do we??
Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” returns for his third season in February, and in the full Season 3 trailer, there are clearly plenty of secrets still buried among the survivors of Flight 2525. Back in 1997, they’ve made it through a ruthless winter which claimed several lives – but they have also developed an appetite for new meals and rules after listening to the wilderness all these months, which may not survive the summer. Tensions rise among the former teammates as they question their leadership and customs, as they consider (or at least one of them does) what they will tell people in the outside world if they ever get back there alive. They’ve already alienated Coach Scott (Steven Kreuger), but what happens when they find him?
Well, you can guess. But that doesn’t make it any less terrifying.
For those living in the present, that question still hangs; fresh off death of one of their own, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) informs the grown-up Yellowjackets that “Someone wants us dead.” They will have a tough job pitted against citizen detective Misty Quigley (Christina Ricci) state senator Taissa Turner (Tawney Cypress) and killer Shauna Sadecki but sure! Good luck with that. (But what’s that letter to Shauna Shipman about, with the wilderness symbol drawn where the return address should be?) The trailer offers another look at new actor Hilary Swank, but none of the other new addition, Joel McHale. Mystery!
“Yellowjackets” is executive produced by Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson and fellow showrunner Jonathan Lisco. Creative Engine’s Drew Comins also serves as executive producer along with Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon. The series is produced for SHOWTIME® by Lionsgate Television.
Season 3 premieres on Friday, February 14 with two episodes. It will be available to stream starting that day and will air live Sunday, February 16 on Showtime and Paramount+ with Showtime.
