Coming off the series’ most-watched season to date, Paramount+ with Showtime has renewed Yellowjackets for a fourth season. There’s no word yet on when filming will get underway, or a target premiere date.
“Yellowjackets has become a cultural juggernaut; with season three shattering all previous records, we are thrilled to announce its renewal for a season four on Paramount+,” stated Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios. “Ashley and Bart have masterfully crafted an utterly singular, genre-defying phenomenon: a perfect alchemy of psychological horror, survival thriller, and coming-of-age drama that continues to captivate audiences worldwide, brought to life by our extraordinarily talented and beloved cast.”
The season three finale was the most streamed episode of the series. The third season starred Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins, and Simone Kessell. Elijah Wood appeared in a recurring role, and Hilary Swank, Joel McHale and Ashley Sutton guest starred.
“Yellowjackets is 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. Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles their descent from a complicated yet thriving team to savage clans while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “It proves that the past is never really the past and what began in the wilderness is far from over.”
Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson created the series and serve as showrunners with Jonathan Lisco.
