New here? Start with this
Yellowjackets follows a New Jersey girls’ football team whose plane crashes in a remote wilderness. The stranded players face hunger, harsh conditions and deaths as they try to survive; the series also follows some of them years later, as adults.
The story centres on the survivors’ efforts to live with what happened and keep parts of it private. The shift back to ordinary life brings its own pressures, while the return of someone from the past adds another complication.
Full account
Paramount+ has released a teaser for the fourth and final season of Yellowjackets, with the survivors of the plane crash back in New Jersey after 19 months in the wilderness. The season is due to premiere on 20 November on the streamer’s Premium tier.
The trailer opens with survivors recalling the crash and the struggle to stay alive while waiting to be found. After enduring hunger, scavenging and the loss of friends, they now face the consequences of returning to ordinary life. The season’s official synopsis hints at efforts to conceal past wrongdoing before rescue arrives, alongside the return of an old flame whose plans threaten to unsettle the homecoming.
The series follows a high-school girls’ football team whose aircraft crashes in a remote northern wilderness. It traces both their transformation into rival groups and the adult survivors’ attempts to rebuild their lives nearly 25 years later. The final season brings back Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins, Nia Sondaya, Jenna Burgess and Hilary Swank. June Squibb, Elijah Wood, Molly Ringwald, Devon Sawa and Dulé Hill are among the guest performers named in one report.
Co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson return as executive producers and showrunners. The series is produced for Showtime by Lionsgate Television, with Drew Comins, Jonathan Lisco, Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Julia Bicknell also among the executive producers. Both reports describe the season as the show’s last and give the same premiere date; one provides a fuller list of guest stars, while the other adds the trailer’s opening recollection of the crash and its aftermath.
Where outlets differ
The first report names additional guest performers, including Sam Braun, while the second does not give a guest-cast list.
The second report quotes the survivors’ opening account from the teaser and specifies that the premiere is on the Paramount+ Premium tier; the first instead focuses on the 19-month timeline and the move back to New Jersey.
The second calls the series Emmy-nominated and identifies Hilary Swank as a two-time Oscar winner; those details are absent from the first report.
