It\u2019s official: Yellowjackets is returning for a second season.<\/p>\n

Equal parts survival tale, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, the hit thriller follows members of a high school soccer team along two timelines: the aftermath of a 1996 plane crash that left them stranded in the wilderness for just under two years, and 25 years later as they go to great lengths to hide the horrendous things they did to survive.<\/p>\n

Showtime announced that Yellowjackets had been renewed for a second season in December 2021, halfway through its first season\u2019s run.<\/p>\n

The show launched to strong reviews and scored a rare 100 per cent on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, leading Showtime\u2019s entertainment president Gary Levine to call Yellowjackets an \u201cunadulterated sensation\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s done extremely well in terms of streaming subscriptions,\u201d Levine told Deadline<\/a> in December 2021. \u201cIt was our second biggest series debut ever on streaming, and it\u2019s grown each week on streaming by double digit percentages. In terms of acclaim, in terms of buzz \u2013 no pun intended \u2014 and in terms of hard numbers, this show has just exploded.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor it to be embraced as quickly and as deeply as it was by both audiences and critics alike, that\u2019s a little like catching lightning in a bottle \u2014 you can never anticipate that but boy, it\u2019s awfully sweet when it rarely happens.\u201d<\/p>

Talking about the reasons for Yellowjackets\u2019 success, Levine added: \u201cI think what it says is, in this time of reboots, comic books and procedurals, there is a real hunger for originality.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a unique concept, and also the fact that it\u2019s all women and showing of all sides of women: they are athletes, they are hunter-gatherers, they are cheaters, they are killers, and yet there is sisterhood and there is competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hardly surprising then, that the wheels have been set in motion for a second season. Read on for everything you need to know about Yellowjackets season 2 including release date rumours and latest news.<\/p>\n
