Yellowjackets is a survival drama that follows a girls' high-school football team whose plane crashed in the wilderness in the 1990s, and it jumps between two timelines: the teenagers fighting to stay alive after the crash, and the same characters as adults in the present day, still dealing with the fallout and covering up what really happened. The show is known for its mystery-box storytelling, dark tone and slow reveals about how the group survived.
The cast includes Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson and Hilary Swank, playing younger and older versions of the same characters. It was created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson and airs on Paramount+, where it has become one of the platform's flagship original dramas, earning multiple Emmy nominations along the way.
Season four will be the show's last, meaning the long-running mysteries around the crash, the group's survival and its present-day consequences are expected to be resolved. That makes this final run significant both for fans who have followed the story since it began and for Paramount+, given the show's role in building the platform's drama lineup.
