Yellowjackets is the Second-Most Streamed Series in Showtime History
The first season of the show received wide critical acclaim and was loved by audiences alike. The show has a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is a feat in itself. During its airing, Yellowjackets attracted an average of 5 million viewers every week, becoming the second-most streamed show in Showtime history after Dexter.
The official synopsis of the show reads, “Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, “Yellowjackets” is the saga of a team of wildly-talented high-school-girl soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness.”
“The series chronicles 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, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over,” it reads further.

Yellowjackets will continue to star Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse as Shauna Shipman, Tawny Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown as Taissa Turner, Ella Purnell as Jackie Taylor, Steven Krueger as Ben Scott, Warren Kole as Jeff Sadecki, Christina Ricci and Sammi Hanratty as Misty Quigley, and Juliette Lewis and Sophie Thatcher as Natalie Scatorccio.
The cast will be joined by some new members, including Lauren Ambrose as Vanessa Palmer, Simone Kessell as adult Lottie Matthews, Jason Ritter, Nicole Maines, Nuha Jes Izman, Nia Sondaya, and François Arnaud. The Emmy-nominated series has been created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, who also serve as the executive producers, along with Jonathan Lisco, Drew Comins, and Karyn Kusama.
