Showtime has announced that it will renew Yellowjackets for a fourth season, following the success of its third-season finale. The April 13 episode became the most-streamed episode in series history, with 3 million global viewers across linear and streaming platforms. This marks the first time the show has been renewed before all previous seasons have aired.
Yellowjackets is a thriller drama series created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, which follows a group of high school girls who survive a plane crash in the wilderness and are later reunited decades later to cope with their traumatic experiences. The show explores themes of survival, psychological horror, and coming-of-age drama.
The renewal was announced by Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios. He praised the show’s creators for crafting a “cultural juggernaut” that continues to captivate audiences worldwide. The new season is expected to continue the series’ unique blend of genres.
Yellowjackets stars Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, and other talented actors in its third season, which also features guest appearances by Hilary Swank and Joel McHale. The show’s executive producers include Lyle, Nickerson, Jonathan Lisco, Drew Comins, and others.
The renewal is a testament to the show’s dedicated fan base, who are eager for more episodes of this unique and captivating series.
