Yellowjacket fans heads up, the fan-favorite series will not return for season 3 till 2025, Deadline has reported. The acclaimed series was in pre-production before the historic writers’ strike began in May last year, with the writer's room reopening back up in September when a tentative deal was reached. Since its debut, the series has given us two gripping seasons and as a result, its next outing is highly anticipated.

The series co-created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson seamlessly marries elements of horror and gore with trauma and mysteries to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. It follows the lives of the survivors of a plane crash, a girls' soccer team who were stranded in the wilderness for nineteen months, and examines how the trauma still haunts their lives and continues to affect them many years after their rescue.

The series has two sets of cast members, with the first portraying the survivors during their teen years in 1996, and another set playing the characters in the present day. Over the course of two seasons, the series has been acclaimed for its performances, vision, and most bizarre storylines. Yellowjackets debuted in 2021, garnering critical acclaim and massive viewership which led to an instant renewal. The freshman season has a 100 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and several Emmy wins. Ahead of the premiere of the second season – which also garnered critical acclaim – another season was greenlit which will now debut in 2025.
