The success story of the mystery series “Yellowjackets” continues. After the first season met with an outstanding critical response, season 2 will be available on Paramount+ from 24 March 2023 – with a “Lord of the Rings” star on board!
With its captivating mix of survival thriller, mystery elements and character drama, the series “Yellowjackets” wowed critics worldwide with its first season. 100% positive ratings on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes speak volumes – and raise curiosity for season 2 of “Yellowjackets”, which you can now stream exclusively on Paramount+.
Every Friday there is a new episode of “Yellowjackets”. Season 1 is of course still available in its entirety on Paramount+ and introduces you to the world of the girls’ football team from New Jersey, which crashes in the wilderness of Canada on the way to a competition in 1996 and from then on fights for survival and against demons – inner and perhaps also outer ones…?
What makes “Yellowjackets” particularly exciting: The story is told on two time levels! The storyline of the now grown-up women, caught up in the events of their dark past, is no less dramatic than the dark forests of Canada, where the frightened girls struggle to survive – and are forced to make impossible decisions along the way.
“YELLOWJACKETS”: STRONG CAST ON TWO COMPELLING TIME LEVELS
This dual perspective not only gives even more room for surprising twists, but also allows for a star-studded cast full of established Hollywood greats to join the excellent young stars like Sophie Thatcher (“Prospect”) and Sophie Nélisse (“The Book Thief”):
From “The Last Of Us” star Melanie Lynskey to the Oscar-nominated Juliette Lewis (for “Cape Fear”) and “Wednesday” actress Christina Ricci, the exquisite actresses deliver a stirring performance. Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci were even nominated for an Emmy® for their strong performances – in total, season 1 of “Yellowjackets” received seven nominations for the famous television award.
Ice Cold Survival Horror
Season 2 continues with nail-biting suspense on both time levels: What really happened in the wilderness back then and how did it affect – and still affects – the lives of the adult women? First reviews of the new episodes, for example from Collider, promise even more twists and an even wilder ride than in season 1.
MYSTERY FANS SHOULDN’T MISS “YELLOWJACKETS “
Fans of mystery and survival series like class leader “Lost”, “Manifest” or “Station Eleven” should definitely not miss this ride. And if you have already seen the strong first season or have tasted blood with season 2 at the latest, you don’t have to worry about further supplies: Even before the start of the new season, “Yellowjackets” has been extended for a third season!
By the way, “Lord of the Rings” star Elijah Wood makes a guest appearance in the new episodes – and pop superstar Florence + The Machine has also contributed something to the continuation of the mystery hit: Her exciting cover of the 90s megahit “Just A Girl” is inspired by “Yellowjackets” and can also already be heard in the trailer for season 2, which you can watch again here:
