Showtime confirmed that production on the highly-anticipated Yellowjackets Season 3 has finally started in Vancouver. This comes nearly a year since the series concluded its 9-episode second season.
The network also shared the first official behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the latest season, teasing the titular girls’ worsening living conditions after their cabin burned down during the Season 2 finale.
Further details about the next installment’s plot and new characters remained under wraps. It’s also still unclear if Juliette Lewis would be returning as adult Natalie, after she was last seen by fans get accidentally killed by Misty with a lethal injection.
What is Yellowjackets?
“Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, it tells the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness,” reads the series’ synopsis. “The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.”
Yellowjackets is created and executive produced by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson. It stars Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Samantha Hanratty, Sophie Thatcher, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Steven Krueger, and Warren Kole. Season 2 also featured the introduction of Lauren Ambrose as adult Van Palmer, Simone Kessell as adult Lottie, and Elijah Wood as citizen detective Walter.
