Second season of Yellowjackets is confirmed and its creators are opening up about what viewers can anticipate. Yellowjackets’ creators Bart Nickerson and Ashley Lyle told Variety during an interview that they are labelling the new season “The Winter of Their Discontent”. The title is a reference to a 1961 novel of the same name written by John Steinbeck and also a quote from Shakespeare’s “Richard 3rd”.
Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson said that shooting of new season will start in summer and they look forward to revisiting the winter which the Yellowjackets soccer team endured after being stranded on an isolated region in Canada in first season. The showrunners shared that they are in the writing stage of the new season and are exploring unique methods to depict the cruel winters Yellowjackets’s characters will deal with. Lyle shared, “We’re starting those production conversations and we have some really amazing and creative people on our team. So this will be movie magic at play.”
In season 1, the mystery regarding the Antler Queen was solved following the character of Lottie, played by Courtney Eaton, being uncovered as the one who was behind the abduction, slaughter and flesh-eating of one of the survivors. In that frightening scene in Yellowjackets, Lottie was joined by Misty, portrayed by Christina Ricci as well as Van, depicted by Liv Hewson. There is uncertainty with regard to whether Van survived the excruciating months in Ontario wilderness, Van also sustained a life altering injury in the wake of a brutal attack by wolves during an expedition to get help which made audience feel she will die.
Actress Christina Ricci said during an interview with “The Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon” that theories of fans concerning Yellowjackets are fascinating and shared she asked series’s writers about their reaction to these fan theories. In the a wake of confirmation that Van survives in finale of first season, the cast members expressed that her adult character will be introduced in the upcoming season. In fact, actress Twany Cypress, who plays the role of Taissa, shared that she wants to see their adult versions reunite considering Taissa’s broken marriage with her spouse.
Yellowjackets is available on Hulu.
