About Yellowjackets (2021-)

Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's Yellowjackets (2021-) interweaves two timelines to tell the story of a girls' high school soccer team stranded in the Ontario wilderness after a plane crash in 1996, exploring how their descent into primal survival rituals haunts the adult survivors 25 years later. The dual casting—with young actors including Sophie Nélisse and Jasmin Savoy Brown portraying the teenage versions of characters played by Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis, and Christina Ricci—creates a unique dramatic tension as viewers watch seemingly normal adults while knowing the horrors they committed as teenagers. The show brilliantly refuses to reveal its secrets quickly, parceling out flashbacks to the wilderness timeline in fragments that raise more questions than they answer, particularly regarding the mysterious symbols and apparent supernatural elements. Yellowjackets has been praised for combining Lord of the Flies survival horror with prestige television character study, creating a show that is simultaneously a genre thriller and a meditation on trauma, guilt, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
