It’s official, Showtime’s survival drama “Yellowjackets” is coming to an end with the upcoming fourth season.
The series follows a girls’ high school soccer team in the 1990s that survived a plane crash and then had to live out in the wilderness. The show also flashes forward 25 years later to the present, where the surviving girls are haunted by the memories of what they endured.
Debuting in 2021, it earned multiple Emmy nominations and a lot of buzz, with this past April’s third season finale becoming the series’ most-streamed episode yet. A writer’s room for the fourth season is currently underway and filming slated to begin next year.
In a statement, series co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson say:
“After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season.
We’ve always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it’s our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen.
Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we’re so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life.
Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery and meal — the Hive is nothing without you! We can’t wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it… delicious.”
Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, Sophie Thatcher, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Nélisse and Samantha Hanratty star in the series with Elijah Wood and Hilary Swank joining the cast in later seasons.
