Yellowjackets’ first season ended in January 2022, yet we haven’t gone into hibernation because we’ve been too busy looking for clues. Now, the hit Showtime drama seems to be almost returning for a second season of cannibalism, antler rituals, and no book club. We think Season 2 will answer a few of our queries and bring up a lot more.
Yellowjackets is about what happens to a high school girls’ soccer team after a plane crash leaves them stranded in the woods in the 1990s. The story is told in two parts, one in the past and one in the present, and shows how the survivors are doing in the present day. When you combine an interesting, possibly supernatural mystery with teens-eating people, you get a show that everyone can’t stop talking about theories for. We’re excited to find out a few answers and a lot of new queries.
Yellowjackets Season 2
Yellowjackets is one of these shows. It’s about a girl’s high school soccer team that gets in a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness and has to figure out how to stay alive. Critics and viewers alike fell in love with the show right away. The first ten episodes were such a hit that, just a few weeks after the Season 1 premiere, the writer’s team got the go-ahead to start working on a script for Season 2. In reality, the show was so well-liked that the second season was already planned before the Season 1 finale aired.
The show’s network, Showtime, has been enjoying its success. Gary Levine, the president of Showtime’s entertainment division, was quoted as saying, “Yellowjackets has been an unadulterated sensation for Showtime.” With all of this in mind, and because any news about Season 2 is immediately picked up by thousands of fans, here is a look at everything we know so far about Yellowjackets Season 2.
Yellowjackets Season 2 Cast
As of now, neither the network nor the team has given any official news about Season 2’s cast. We think it’s a safe guess that most of the main characters and regulars from the show will be back for another season. So, check out the possible Season 2 cast below:
- Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse as the adult and teenage versions of Shauna
- ShipmanTawny Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown as the adult and teenage versions of Taissa Turner
- Ella Purnell as Jackie Taylor
- Steven Krueger as Ben Scott
- Warren Kole as Jeff Sadecki
- Christina Ricci and Sammi Hanratty as the adult and teenage versions of Misty Quigley
- Juliette Lewis and Sophie Thatcher as the adult and teenage versions of Natalie “Nat” Scatorccio
- Lauren Ambrose and Liv Hewson as the adult and teenage versions of Vanessa “Van” Palmer
- Simone Kessell and Courtney Eatonas the adult and teenage versions of Lottie Matthews
Kevin Alves as the teenage version of Travis Martinez
Yellowjackets Season 2 Plot
When Yellowjackets comes back for a second season, there are still so many mysteries to be solved. Who is the girl from the first episode that the rest of the soccer team ate? Who built that scary cabin in the middle of nowhere? What in the hell is Tai doing?
But Lottie’s rise as a cult leader in the past and her rise again in the present are likely to be at the heart of the main conflict. She had Nat taken away at the end of the first season, so it will probably be up to Shauna, Tai, and Misty (who is a citizen detective) to save their friend. The only issue is that Shauna will also have to deal with the consequences of killing Adam, especially now that her daughter Callie knows. Tai is possessed by an unknown supernatural force that makes her kill dogs, and Misty just poisoned Jessica.
Yellowjackets Season 1 Recap
The last episode of the first season was scary and sad. (Click here to read what we talked about with Ella Purnell) Jackie (Ella Purnell), who was left out by her teammates, died in a shocking way alone in the snow, and Travis’s brother Javi (Luciano Leroux) disappeared after the girls’ night of hallucinogens in the woods. In the present, we learned that Lottie is still alive and may even be the leader of a cult. Also, Natalie (Juliette Lewis) was taken from her motel room and put in a van.
Yellowjackets Season 2 Release Date
The second season of Yellowjackets will start on Showtime on March 26, 2023. We’re not sure how long season 2 will be, but we think it will have ten episodes.
Yellowjackets Season 2 Trailer
On December 7, 2022, a very short, 15-second teaser for Yellowjackets Season 2 came out. The teaser doesn’t say much and doesn’t even reveal any clips from the next season, which everyone is very excited about.
On March 9, 2023, the full trailer for Yellowjackets Season 2 came out. Set to a cover of “Just A Girl” by Florence + The Machine, the trailer gives us our greatest look at the new season so far and shows off some of the new cast members, like Liv Hewson and Elijah Wood.
Will there be a Yellowjackets Season 3?
Back in December, it was announced that the show would be back for a third season on Showtime before Season 2. So we won’t see these people for the last time this spring.
