Bittersweet TV news is upon us: Yellowjackets is officially in production for its fourth and final season.
The show’s account posted a video set to the theme song featuring an eerie montage of shots of a radio plus some clips from last season and a voice responding to Teen Natalie’s distress call with a simple, “I can hear you.” The caption calls it, “One last trip to The Wilderness,” and if previous seasons have been any indication, what a trip it will be.
Tawny Cypress (aka Adult Taissa) also posted about returning to production saying, “Did someone mention something about finishing the story?”
We don’t know TOO much about what the final season will have in store for us just yet, but we DO know that Molly Ringwald has been cast supposedly as Van’s mother (though whether it’s a recasting of Teen Van’s mother or they’ll age her up a little and have her be Adult Van’s mother—or both!—is yet to be seen.) We also know that June Squibb has been added to the cast, but no news yet on who she’s playing (though I’ve heard some hilarious fan ideas about it.)
Whatever it brings, I just know Yellowjackets has been SUCH a fun journey as a queer TV junkie and I look forward to one more season of the wild theories bordering on conspiracies, crazy shipping, and just general fun we have as a fandom watching this batshit show. Here’s to one more round on this crazy ride.

+ Amelia kicked up a new romance on Grey’s Anatomy and actress Caterina Scorsone says, “There’s something fresh and exciting about this callback to early Amelia before she’d been through all the things she’s been through, before life had carved its path through her. It’ll be fun to explore.”

Comments
Yay! I am so happy Yellowjackets is ending. When I finished the last season, I was like “This is great, but I don’t know if they can push it past one more season.”
Always better to go out with a bang, rather than it fizzling into a low quality content fans won’t recognise anymore.
