Yellowjackets S1-S2

The Antler Queen returns in Season 2 of the acclaimed survival epic Yellowjackets. Psychological horror meets coming-of-age drama as the saga continues, following the now-adult survivors of a plane crash that stranded their wildly talented high school girls’ soccer team deep in the Canadian wilderness in 1996. 

Yellowjackets was nominated for seven Emmys last year, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Writing, and Directing. It won Best Horror at the 2022 Critics Choice Super Awards, where Melanie Lynsky (Don’t Look Up) was named Best Actress: Horror. She also won Best Actress: Drama at the Critics’ Choice Awards, where the show was nominated for Best Drama. 

The new season sees Lynskey and Christina Ricci (The Matrix Resurrections) return in their Emmy-nominated roles as Shauna and Misty, alongside Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers) as Natalie and multi-award-winner Tawny Cypress (The Blacklist: Redemption) in her Black Reel Award-nominated role as Taissa.

Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, Yellowjackets has a 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where it was the fourth highest-rated drama of 2021, and became the second-most streamed series in Showtime’s history (topped only by Dexter: New Blood), leading to the show’s renewal for a second season before the first had even concluded in the States.
