Yellowjackets

by

The situation seems grim for the Yellowjackets team. The first full-trailer of their upcoming third season on Showtime hints at a violent and gruesome chapter in their tale, with bodies falling – whether it’s from the past or present.

In a different phrasing: “Shauna, played by Melanie Lynskey, asserts that the only way to ensure safety is if there’s no one else left,” this sentiment echoes as the heavy beats of Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” fill the background. And considering the chilling events portrayed in the past two seasons of this suspenseful mystery series, it seems her grim prediction may hold true. Regrettably, a significant number of bodies have met their end – whether on hardwood floors, pavement, or deep within the forest.

Who Is Coming For The ‘Yellowjackets’ Crash Survivors?

In my cinematic journey, I found myself captivated by a gripping tale about a group of teenage girls who unfortunately became stranded in the heart of the wilderness. What started as a survival situation quickly spiraled into something far darker – they resorted to hunting their companions, feasting on their flesh, and descending into madness. This chilling account is a fitting summary for the acclaimed series “Yellowjackets”, which, as you may well be aware, barely scratches the surface of its intense narrative.

Throughout its seasons, this series has skillfully woven together two distinct timelines: one in the immediate aftermath of their harrowing crash landing, and another set in our present day where these girls, now women, are grappling with their haunting past, fighting for survival, and desperately guarding long-buried secrets.

The show, filled with mysterious, supernatural-like aspects that keep viewers on edge, has proven to be an exhilarating journey for many. For those brave enough to watch past dusk, it can be downright terrifying, as if it’s designed specifically to give nightmares (though I might be the only one who feels that way).

Written by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, the upcoming third season of “Yellowjackets” is set to deliver more clarification than earlier seasons, which should be satisfying for viewers who have been eagerly seeking clearer insights since the show’s debut in 2021. As suggested by its official summary:

During the third season, with summer upon them, the Yellowjackets experience a tenuous triumph – having survived the harsh winter that pushed them to the brink, yet their doubts about leadership and internal conflicts threaten their hopes of being found. In the current timeline, secrets buried deep in their pasts start resurfacing. As they struggle to maintain control over their lives, they are compelled to confront a haunting query: who are they truly, and what ominous truths are concealed within them, from one another and themselves?

Starting from February 14, the fresh season of Yellowjackets will be available for streaming on Paramount+ and Showtime. For those with cable, episodes will air on the traditional Showtime channel every Sunday, starting from February 16 at 8pm ET/PT.
