The hit Emmy-nominated Showtime series Yellowjackets is set to return for season 3. Fans have been anticipating to see the next chapter.
The second season finale notably ended with the tragic demise of adult Natalie while Lottie was taken away by the EMTs and reminded the remaining women that the wilderness will "reward" them.
What to Expect in Yellowjackets Season 3
We can expect Yellowjackets season 3 to address the major ramifications that were set up in the season 2 finale including the tragic death of Natalie and what "reward" was Lottie implying to the women.
As expected, the majority of the plot details regarding season 3 are still being kept under wraps, but co-showrunner Ashley Lyle has promised that they will provide some answers.
"We are going to learn more about what happened in the wilderness that they are so afraid of coming out. We hope it will be both satisfying and at times unexpected," Lyle teased in an interview.
"And I think that we have found ourselves—let me think of how to say this. [pause] The stakes are pretty high in the present-day storyline, perhaps in a way that they did not feel in season two, and that was really exciting for us to delve into."
The co-showrunner added, "There are at least two very big questions with very clear answers."
While the plot details are vague, one exciting information that should excite fans is the addition of Oscar winner Hilary Swank to the cast. The details regarding her role are under wraps, but it will be recurring, and potentially get promoted to series regular in season 4.
When is Yellowjackets Season 3 Coming Out?
Showtime has not set a release date yet for Yellowjackets season 3, but it's been confirmed that it will premiere in early 2025.
The new season will likely arrive around spring to qualify to compete at next year's Primetime Emmy Awards.
The deadline for eligibility at the Emmy Awards is May 31 so it would mean that Yellowjackets season 3 could premiere around March to air the entire season before the cutoff period.
For now, fans should wait for news and updates regarding the release date which should happen in the coming months as they are now ramping up their promotional campaign to hype up the new season.
