YELLOWJACKETS: SEASON 2
Created by Bart Nickerson and Ashley Lyle
When the first season of Yellowjackets premiered at the end of 2021, it became an instant sensation. The show follows a group of teen girls fighting to stay alive in the wilderness following a plane crash, with the story flashing forward to the present to follow the characters as adults after returning to civilisation. Dark, full of plot twists and featuring WLW storylines, what’s not to love? While a lot of secrecy surrounds what’s in store this time around, we know we’ll be getting to meet some new faces. Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under) has been cast as adult Van Palmer, so fingers crossed we see some more queer scenes in the present. And Simone Kessell (Our Flag Means Death) is stepping into the role of the adult Lottie Matthews – which can only mean things are going to continue to get messy.
