Yellowjackets Season Four Finally Announced
BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ! Good news, gays, gals, and cannibal pals, our favorite twisted teen drama Yellowjackets has officially been renewed for a fourth season! Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios recognizes the brilliance of this show, calling it, “a perfect alchemy of psychological horror, survival thriller and coming-of-age drama that continues to captivate audiences worldwide, brought to life by our extraordinarily talented and beloved cast.”
I don’t know why they decided to stress us out by waiting so long to officially renew it, because apparently, according to the network, the season three finale was the most-streamed episode in the series so far. Everyone needed to know who pit girl and the Antler Queen were!!
The ever-brilliant social media team made this announcement on Instagram with a very on-brand post, which was just a creepy-moody wilderness background and a grainy animation that shudders between The Symbol and the number 4. The caption reads, “The Wilderness rewards you 4 your devotion. #Yellowjackets will return.” And we say, in unison, thank you, Wilderness.
Season three was a wild ride, with the intensity, stakes, and absurdity (pos) rising with every episode, so I for one can’t wait to see what’s in store for the teens and adults alike. (If you’re missing our favorite psychotic soccer team in the meantime, you can always relive the series by way of Kayla’s episodic recaps!)
So sharpen your knives, practice your howls, and dry clean your pink baseball hats, because there may be no book club, but there will be more Yellowjackets.
