Mon Feb 03 03:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Yellowjackets Season 3: Cannibalism, Death, and a Valentine’s Day Premiere
**Los Angeles, CA** – Showtime’s Emmy-nominated drama *Yellowjackets* is set to return for its highly anticipated third season on Valentine’s Day, bringing with it a bloody aftermath and more shocking twists. The season picks up immediately following the gut-wrenching season two finale, which saw the death of a major character and a drastic shift in the power dynamics of both the 1996 wilderness survivors and their present-day counterparts.
The death of Natalie (Juliette Lewis), accidentally overdosed by Misty (Christina Ricci), marks a significant turning point. Showrunners foreshadowed this demise from the pilot episode, highlighting Misty’s ominous presence in Natalie’s life. While Lewis’ departure is a blow, the creative team emphasizes that it was a deliberate choice, fitting with the show’s overall arc. The possibility of a return, perhaps as a ghost, remains open.
Season three will delve deeper into the 1996 timeline, revealing more about the group’s descent into cannibalism. The burning of their shelter and the crowning of a new Antler Queen – young Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) – set the stage for further horrors. The trailer showcases increased violence and the continued haunting of the survivors by their past traumas.
The adult cast will feature Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose, and Simone Kessell, alongside new additions Hilary Swank, Joel McHale, and Ashley Sutton in undisclosed roles. The teenage cast will reprise their roles, facing the consequences of their actions. The season promises more cannibalism, a possible reckoning for their coach, and the lingering threat of the wilderness itself.
The season will premiere with two episodes on February 14th on Paramount+, with subsequent episodes airing weekly. Showtime urges fans to prepare for a season filled with shocking revelations and terrifying consequences.
