Following its seven-time Emmy-nominated first season, the new episodes once again switched back and forth between the present and the past, complete with flashbacks from the soccer team’s time in the Canadian wilderness following a traumatic plane crash that left them stranded for 19 months — and the “darkness” that’s potentially followed them now over two decades later.
Starring Melanie Lynskey (Shauna), Lewis (Natalie), Tawny Cypress (Taissa), and Christina Ricci (Misty) as the adult versions of their characters, the newest season of Yellowjackets also features appearances by Simone Kessell (Lottie), and Lauren Ambrose as adult Van, played by Liv Hewson. Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, and Samantha Hanratty also star in the new season, with Elijah Wood playing a detective named Walter.
“I did all this press talking about how I thought she was not interested in men and would never have had a relationship, and then they’re like, ‘Bam! Season Two, love interest!'” Ricci previously told Rolling Stone‘s Angie Martoccio. “I was thrown off by the idea, and whether the characters do become romantically involved or not is something to be discovered as people watch this. But if I had to have any love interest as this character, I’m so happy it’s Elijah, because he’s just so wonderful to work with.”
“The Yellowjackets barely made it through summer in the woods, but now as winter begins to bite, we’ll see if hunger and desperation turn into full-on psychosis,” Showtime writes of the new season. “While there may or may not be a dark and powerful force inhabiting the wilderness, their survival could depend upon what they choose to believe. Meanwhile, 25 years later, each survivor must ask themselves: Is the darkness coming for them, or is it coming from them?”
After the finale of Yellowjackets, here’s how to watch the complete series so far — even if you don’t have a Showtime subscription.

Yellowjackets Season 2 Soundtrack
Like the first season’s soundtrack of Yellowjackets, which included classic hits from Alanis Morissette, The Smashing Pumpkins, Salt-N-Pepa, and more, the new episodes continue to feature Nineties tunes and covers — starting with the second season’s trailer.

Since the show is set both in the Nineties and present day, the full-length trailer for the second season featured a cover of No Doubt’s “Just a Girl,” performed by Florence + the Machine.
“I’m such a huge fan of Yellowjackets and this era of music, and this song especially had a huge impact on me growing up, so I was thrilled to be asked to interpret it in a ‘deeply unsettling’ way for the show,” Welch previously shared in a statement about the Tragic Kingdom cover. “We tried to really add some horror elements to this iconic song to fit the tone of the show. And as someone who’s first musical love was pop punk and Gwen Stefani it was a dream job.”
Will There Be a Yellowjackets Season 3?
Yes, Showtime confirmed in December 2022 that Yellowjackets would return for a third season, months before the second season even premiered. While Season Two just came to an end, it’s not yet clear when Season Three will premiere.
