Showtime Announces “Yellowjackets” Season 3 Update On Instagram

Showtime posted four photos on their IG account, including three images that teased how surviving members of the WHS Yellowjackets soccer team are doing after the cabin fire that decimated their sole form of shelter, during Season 2’s finale.

The fourth and last photo showed a picture of Season 3’s “premiere” script, showing that episode 1 is written by co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, as well as Jonathan Lisco. This epi marks Nickerson’s debut as a director.

The caption on the post read, “We know you’re starving… #Yellowjackets Season 3 is officially in production.”

Yellowjackets Season 3 Was Delayed Due To The WGA Strike

Due to the WGA strike, which began in May 2023, Yellowjackets pre-production closed down after a mere day in the writer’s room, which then re-opened in September 2023, once the strike was over. Now, filming has officially begun!

Yellowjackets highlights a group of New Jersey soccer players in high school who find themselves fighting for survival after their airplane crashes in a remote area of wilderness.

The team was on their way to the Nationals; however, that never came to be. After two decades fighting to stay alive, the show focuses on their present-day timeline, and the surviving members of the crash.

Created by Nickerson and Lyle, the cast includes Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Nelisse, Sophie Thatcher, Courtney Easton, Samantha Hanratty, and Liv Hewson in the 1996 flashbacks of the show, while their 2021-era counterparts are played by Tawny Cypress, Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Simone Kessell, and Lauren Ambrose. Juliette Lewis was also in the 2021 timeline in the first two seasons; however, it is not certain if she’ll return for the next season as adult Natalie passed away in the finale of Season 2.

Season 3 is currently slated to premiere sometime in 2025.
