Since Season 1 of the famous television series, Yellowjackets left several (many, many) questions unresolved, there is still plenty for us to learn from its secrets. Showtime provided us a cause to rejoice today, however, by announcing the release date for the Second season of the show.
Beep Beep! The Emmy-nominated show will continue to cover two different timelines when it returns: One takes place in the mid-1990s and has soccer team members who escape an aircraft crash but get stuck in a forest, while the other takes place in the present and features the survivors attempting to live regular adult lives while keeping what happened in the forest a secret.
In the most recent blockbuster thriller, characters from a high school women’s soccer team are followed in two time periods: immediately following a 1996 plane crash that left them stuck in the wilds for 19 months, and 25 years later as the women still alive attempt to keep what they did to survive a secret.
Yellowjackets Season 2
The horrific idea is half psychological drama, part survival horror, and it demonstrates how young friendships begin to deteriorate before being distorted over time by tragedy and secrets. And that’s before you take into account the superb ’90s punk music.
Halfway through the first season, Showtime announced that the series had been renewed for a second season. The drama presently has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating and is nominated for the best drama series at the Critics’ Choice Awards. The Hollywood Reporter quotes Gary Levine and Jana Winograde, the network’s entertainment executives, as stating that they are “overwhelmed by both the plaudits and the public reaction.”
The suspenseful supernatural series, which stars Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Melanie Lynskey, and Tawny Cypress as adult versions of four teenagers who were left behind after a 1996 plane crash, was picked up by Showtime for a season 2 in December 2021—even before the first five episodes of Season 1 had aired, demonstrating just how quickly the disaster drama has become a cultural phenomenon.
Where to watch Yellowjackets Season 2?
If you’re an Australian or British resident, you can watch the whole second season of Yellowjackets on Paramount Plus. You may try the service risk-free for 7 days if you’re new here. Showtime (now part of Paramount Plus) streams it in the United States, whereas Crave is the channel where Canadians can see it.
Yellowjackets Story
A high school girls’ soccer team from New Jersey travels to Seattle, Washington for the 1996 national tournament. The aircraft crashes in the middle of nowhere in the Canadian wilderness, leaving the remaining members of the crew stranded there for nineteen months. The series documents the team’s struggle for survival, with some members resorting to cannibalism. It also follows the survivors in 2021, twenty-five years after their rescue, as they struggle with the aftereffects of their trauma.
The cast of Yellowjackets Season 2
There will be more survivors of airline crashes this season. Along with Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Simone Kessell playing an adult Lottie, Lauren Ambrose (Servant) will be joining the cast as an adult Van.
Elijah Wood has been tapped to appear as a series guest star. In the present-day plot, the former Lord of the Rings actor will portray Walter, a nosy citizen investigator who is presumably aware of Misty’s evil deeds. According to Showtime, Walter will “push Misty in ways she won’t see coming.”

Yellowjackets Season 2 Plot
A high school girls’ soccer team is followed by Yellowjackets as they get stuck after an aircraft disaster in 1996 while en route to a competition. The survivors start lying and cheating before becoming violent and even cannibalism.
The series also explores the effects of the incident 20 years later on the survivors’ psyches, all the while dropping tantalizing hints about what truly occurred in the forest. The Season 2 story hasn’t been announced yet, not even to the network, and fans are beyond themselves with curiosity.
As the episodes go on, these riddles are provisionally solved, but it’s safe to predict that by the conclusion of Season 1, there could be more questions than answers. There were several mysteries in the climax, but the one involving Lottie (Courtney Eatondestiny )’s is still shocking viewers to this day.
With the program attracting such high watching numbers, writers will be keen to sate the thirst of thousands of viewers who are hungry for answers. It is hoped that some of the numerous issues asked in the finale will be addressed in the forthcoming Season.
Who is in the pit dead? The meaning of the sign is: What will become of Shauna’s child? Even though it would be disappointing, not all of those questions may be resolved in the upcoming Season. Yellowjackets fans may think this is terrible news, but it’s really quite exciting since there are rumors that there will be a whopping five seasons of the program, giving us plenty of time to solve all these interesting puzzles.
Yellowjackets Season 2 Ending
We return to the woods in the season two finale’s closing minutes. Smoke catches Shauna’s attention as she jots down thoughts in her diary. To get everyone to wake up, she dashes downstairs and shouts. There is a fire in the cabin, and nobody can get in. Taissa pries open the door with her axe.
In the end, everyone escapes the burning cottage in time. The fire’s arsonist remains a mystery, although Coach Ben is widely believed to be responsible. But his choice could drive the remaining survivors even further insane.
How many episodes are there in Yellowjackets season 2?
Yellowjackets’ first season consists of 10 episodes. It is unknown how many episodes there will be in total in Seasons 2 and beyond.
Is there a trailer for Yellowjackets Season 2?
A new teaser for Yellowjackets’ second season has debuted on Showtime, and it suggests a big reunion. The second season trailer for Yellowjackets features Simone Kessell as an adult Lottie, set to Florence + The Machine’s rendition of “Just A Girl” by No Doubt. Plus, it seems like the rest of the gang is making preparations to find her…
Some new video shows the long-awaited reunion of adult Van (Lauren Ambrose) and adult Taissa (Tawny Cypress), and it also confirms Natalie’s (Juliette Lewis) survival.
The drama (and likely another cliffhanger) is set to unfold in season two, so, fortunately, co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson are predicting another three seasons.
Is there a Yellowjackets season 3?
Before Season 2, it was made known that the show would return for a season 3 at Showtime. Therefore, we won’t see these characters for the last time this Spring.
Showtime decided to spoil the viewers even more given their high excitement for Season 2. Ahead of Season 2’s spring release, the network ordered a third season of Yellowjackets. On December 15, Variety received confirmation from Chris McCarthy, the president and CEO of Showtime and Paramount Media Networks.
We wanted to capitalize on the momentum by hastening the release of Season 3 right immediately, McCarthy said, given the overwhelming popularity of Yellowjackets in Season 1 and the pent-up excitement for Season 2.
