Unnerving as it is to consider, February is not that far away—which means Yellowjackets fans now have cause to celebrate. The third season of the Showtime series returns on February 14th, and a 15-second teaser (below) makes the most of the holiday timing, saying “Eat your heart out.”
Showtime has offered only a series synopsis, nothing specific about the upcoming season:
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (Narcos), Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
One thing we do know about the third season is that Hilary Swank and Joel McHale are joining as guest stars. The rest of the cast remains impressive, and includes Melanie Lynskey (The Last of Us), Christina Ricci (Wednesday), Tawny Cypress (Unforgettable), Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under), Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief), Jasmin Savoy Brown (The Leftovers), Sophie Thatcher (The Book of Boba Fett), Samantha Hanratty (Atlas), and Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi), with Elijah Wood in a recurring role.
Yellowjackets premieres with two episodes on streaming, and will debut on Showtime (cable version, not streaming) on February 16th.
