Yellowjackets returns to Paramount+ with SHOWTIME on Friday, February 14.
A 10 episode third season will pick up pick up in the aftermath of the dramatic season two finale, and will see Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) guesting along with Joel McHale (Community).
The series follows a team of high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. Chronicling their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, the series proves that the past is never really past, and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
