Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, Yellowjackets is the story of a team of high school girls who play soccer and become the (un)fortunate survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. Part survival epic, part psychological horror story, and part coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles their descent from complicated but thriving team into brutal clans, while also following the lives they’ve tried to piece together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really over, and what began in the wilderness is far from over.
“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+,” said Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios. “Ashley [Lyle] and Bart [Nickerson] 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 series stars 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, with Elijah Wood in a recurring role. Hilary Swank guest stars in season three, and has an option to become a series regular, along with Joel McHale and Ashley Sutton.
