Yellowjackets is confirmed to be coming to an end after its previously announced, upcoming fourth season at Showtime and Paramount+.
In a statement reported by multiple trade publications, creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson said, “After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season. We’ve always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it’s our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen.”
The duo continued, “Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we’re so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life. Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery and meal — the Hive is nothing without you! We can’t wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it… delicious.”
Statistics from Season 3 of ‘Yellowjackets’
As we previously reported, Season 3 was the show’s most-watched season ever, and the Season 3 finale back in April was the most-streamed episode in the show’s history. Season 3 also marked the most-watched season ever, with the April finale becoming the most-streamed Yellowjackets episode in series history.
Per the official description, “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. It proves that the past is never really the past and what began in the wilderness is far from over.”
Season 3 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, with Elijah Wood recurring and Hilary Swank, Joel McHale and Ashley Sutton guest-starring.
The series is executive produced by Lyle, Nickerson, and their co-showrunner, Jonathan Lisco. Drew Comins of Creative Engine also executive produces with Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon. Lionsgate Television is the studio.
When will Season 4 of ‘Yellowjackets’ premiere?
It is unclear when Season 4 will premiere, but production is expected to kick off next year.
