Showtime Renews It's Horror Thriller Drama YELLOWJACKETS For Season 2
Showtime has renewed its crazy horror thriller drama Yellowjackets for Season 2. I just started watching this series and am three episodes in so far and I’m enjoying it. I knew very little about this series before I started watching it and it was nothing I expected it to be. This show is dark and super messed up, and I’m digging it.
The story flashes back and forth between two periods: One, the aftermath of a plane crash, when the members of a girls’ soccer team have to fend for themselves; the other, in their adult lives, as they deal with the trauma of that experience in very different ways. There’s definitely a Lord of the Flies vibe to it, but much darker.
The series also has a great cast that includes Christina Ricci, Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, and Tawny Cypress and the characters they play are incredibly interesting. The series also stars Ella Purnell, Samantha Hanratty, Sophie Thatcher, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Nélisse, Steven Krueger and Warren Kole.
Showtime entertainment presidents Gary Levine and Jana Winograde said in a statement, “Yellowjackets has been an unadulterated sensation for Showtime. We are overwhelmed by both the acclaim and the audience response to our series, including several ‘Best of 2021’ lists, a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and snowballing viewership. Clearly there is a hunger for originality and audacity, and our incredible showrunners Ashley, Bart and Jonathan, along with their pitch-perfect cast, have delivered that and so much more. I can’t wait to see the surprises they have in store for us in Season 2.”
I’m looking forward to watching the rest of Season 1 and it’s exciting to know that we’ll be getting a second season. Have you watched the series yet? If so, what are your thoughts?
