As a seasoned film enthusiast who’s seen more survival tales than I can count, I must say that the trailer for Yellowjackets season 3 has me absolutely intrigued! The dark twist this series takes on the teenage wilderness survival genre is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.
“Once upon a time, a bunch of teenage girls got stranded in the wilderness, and they went completely nuts.” It’s a tale as old as time, and also how the trailer for the third season of Yellowjackets begins, giving us our first real look at the show’s sure-to-be-horrifying next installment.
As a passionate film aficionado, I must say that the situation appears grim for the beloved champions-turned-cannibalistic survivalists of our favorite soccer team. On the brighter side, the bone-chilling trailer has given us a sneak peek at Academy Award winner and season three guest star, none other than Hilary Swank, making her entrance into the Yellowjackets universe. Just in time for things to escalate dramatically, she’s heard whispering an expletive before fleeing in terror from something ominous and unseen.
Where Does Season 3 Find The ‘Yellowjackets’ Team At?
If you’re here just for fun and haven’t watched Yellowjackets yet (hello there! I have a lot to chat about if that’s the case!), this gripping series unfolds through two distinct storylines. The first timeline is set in 1996, following a soccer team from New Jersey who encounter a tragic plane crash in the Canadian wilderness and must adapt to survive. Their struggle involves forming a cult and ultimately resorting to cannibalism to endure the harsh landscape and cold winter.
In the third season, the women are battling an enigmatic adversary. Melanie Lynskey’s character, Shauna, states in the trailer that they are targeted for elimination, hinting at the ongoing danger facing the women in their contemporary forms. Ambrose’s character, Van, suggests that only a few people know about this threat, either because they are among the living or because they are deceased.
Afterward, the video continues with numerous short scenes and captivating glimpses that suggest further enigma, peril, and an ongoing sensation that some otherworldly force could be involved. The preview also features young ghost Jackie (portrayed by Ella Purnell), who appears to torment current-day Shauna, offering a glimpse into their mental state at this particular point in the story.
You can even check out some new images from the forthcoming season below:
In this production, Lynskey is joined by Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose, and Simone Kessell, who portray the grown-up versions of the ’96 team. Additionally, the cast includes Sophie Nélisse, Samantha Hanratty, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liv Hewson, and Courtney Eaton, who represent the teenage counterparts of these characters.
During this season, a couple of new characters, including Swank and comedian Joel McHale (whose part is currently unspecified), will join the cast. Elijah Wood will reappear in multiple episodes after making his debut in season two. As for the rumored extra episode, it remains undetermined if it will be aired this season; however, series co-creator Ashley Lyle has confirmed its production.
The third season of Yellowjackets kicks off on Valentine’s Day, 2025, streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime. If you fancy a laugh or a touch of romance, this is for you! Two days later, it will also be available on Showtime (February 16, 2025). And here’s an interesting twist: if you’re seeking the perfect gift to express your love, how about spending quality time watching a group of teenage girls fighting to stay alive in the wilderness?
