Wild, wilder, wildest. After that it’s over, isn’t it? Can anything be worse than cannibalism? Admittedly, if you wanted to sum up the successful survival drama in 3 words, the terms would probably brutal, nerve-wracking and scary as the young soccer players are still struggling to survive by any means necessary since the plane crash in their teens in the Canadian wilderness. But the psychological thriller has even more to offer.
The 2021 Showtime series With its predominantly female cast, “Yellowjackets” celebrated international fame as well as outstanding ratings, including a tour de force of 100 percent positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, and has been since season one. So it comes as no surprise that a third was confirmed ahead of Season 2 and series creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, who have worked together on shows like Narcos and The Original, are hinting at more sequels to the series. In an interview with the American online magazine Entertainment Weekly, the author duo and also the married couple talked about a 5-season plan. Whether it actually comes to that, we’ll soon see.
Back to Season 3: Since March 24th, a new episode of “Yellowjackets” will be broadcast weekly on the recently launched streaming provider Paramount+ and keeps us in suspense every Friday. The multiply acclaimed and Emmy-nominated series from the USA cleverly combines different genre elements of a survival thriller and mystery drama, without losing the narrative structure on the two time levels – namely that of the past, at the time of the plane crash in 1996, and that of the present , 25 years later after the horrific events – negatively affecting. If that doesn’t sound like the mystery classics “Lost”, “Manifest” or “Dark”. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Jonathan Lisco promises even more for Season 2: “If we do our job right, eating a human is not the worst thing these young women do in the wilderness.”
If you still don’t have enough and have a stable stomach, you’ll soon get more, because here you’ll find all the latest information about the already confirmed third season of “Yellowjackets”.
