“Yellowjackets” Renewed for Season 2

"Yellowjackets": Showtime

Showtime is responding to all the buzz: “Yellowjackets” has been renewed for a second season. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news.

Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, “Yellowjackets” tells the story an elite New Jersey-based high school girls soccer team who get in a plane accident en route to a national tournament in the ’90s. Survivors are left stranded deep in the wilderness, forced to learn how to fend for themselves. The series shifts between the girls’ experiences in isolation and their present-day lives as adults dealing with the fallout of their trauma.

The critically acclaimed series’ ensemble cast includes Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, and Sammi Hanratty.

“‘Yellowjackets’ has been an unadulterated sensation for Showtime,” said Showtime entertainment president Gary Levine. “We are overwhelmed by both the acclaim and the audience response to our series, including several ‘Best of 2021’ lists, a 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, and snowballing viewership. Clearly there is a hunger for originality and audacity, and our incredible showrunners Ashley, Bart, and Jonathan, along with their pitch-perfect cast, have delivered that and so much more. I can’t wait to see the surprises they have in store for us in season two.”

Season 1 will conclude with a January 16 finale.
