Yellowjackets Season 1 Coming to Netflix Next Month

As a cinephile who has traversed through the vast landscapes of television and film since the early days of VHS tapes, I must say that “Yellowjackets” is a series that has left me both captivated and divided. The intricate storytelling, the stellar performances, and the seamless blend of genres have undeniably made it a standout in today’s streaming era.


The well-regarded thriller series “Yellowjackets” is arriving on Netflix starting October 1st. This show was initially released in 2021 and quickly drew viewers in with its story about a New Jersey high school girls’ soccer team who, after their plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness, must use extreme measures to stay alive. The first season received a perfect score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, while Season 2 has been rated at an impressive 93%.

Featuring an impressive cast including Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis, and Christina Ricci, Yellowjackets tells a captivating tale that oscillates between 1996 and 2021. The series explores the girls’ harrowing experiences in the wilderness and how those events continue to impact their lives a quarter of a century later. Having garnered multiple awards already, Yellowjackets, created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, skillfully combines horror, drama, and mystery in a compelling narrative that instantly hooks viewers from the first episode.

While many people have differing opinions about the show, it hasn’t received universal acclaim like some critics suggest. At the moment, the series has a 58% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The first season was well-received with a 73% approval score, but its second season didn’t keep up that pace, currently sitting at a 42% approval rate. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Season 3 in 2025 to see if it will regain the series’ original appeal for those who felt it started to lose its touch.

When Will Season 3 of Yellowjackets Be Released?

After a grueling finale for Season 2 of Yellowjackets on May 28, 2023, fans have been on tenterhooks about the next chapter. But don’t fret, as good news comes your way! Production for Season 3 is underway. Although the specific release date remains undisclosed, it’s projected to air in 2025. The actress portraying Misty Quigley (Ricci) has hinted that this season will be even more unexpected than its predecessors.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter this year, actress Christina Ricci, who became famous as Wednesday Addams in the 1991 version of The Addams Family, hinted that Yellowjackets Season 3 will be another intense installment in the series. Without revealing any spoilers, considering the surprising turn events took at the end of Season 2, Ricci’s claim is quite daring, showcasing how dedicated creators Lyle and Nickerson are to delivering a compelling narrative.

This upcoming season will be more jaw-dropping and unpredictable compared to its predecessors. It promises to be intense, but there’s also a good deal of humor mixed in. Therefore, it seems the season is going to be incredibly typical of the Yellowjackets series.
