Will There Be A ‘Yellowjackets' Season 4? Here's What The Creators Are Saying
L-R: Tawny Cypress as Taissa and Melanie Lynskey as Shauna in Yellowjackets, episode 9, season 3, ... More streaming on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, 2025.
The anticipated Yellowjackets Season 3 finale is now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime, leaving fans with unanswered questions as the seasons wraps up. Will the story continue with a fourth season and possibly a long-awaited rescue? Here's the latest on the future of the hit survival series.
Season 3 of Yellowjackets premiered in February 2025 and continued the story of a high school girls' soccer team whose journey to a national championship turned tragic when their plane crashed in the Canadian wilderness. The series weaves between past and present, showing how the survivors' lives have evolved nearly 25 years later as they confront their lingering traumas.
The latest chapter picks up after the shocking death of adult Natalie Scatorccio in the Season 2 finale, and Season 3 brought even more bloodshed and drama. 'The Yellowjackets continue to fight for survival after a brutal winter in The Wilderness,' the synopsis reads. 'In the present day, still reeling from Natalie's death, the survivors are forced to uncover secrets they thought were buried for good.'
As you watch the finale, which officially dropped on April 11, you might be wondering whether Yellowjackets will return for a fourth season. Here's everything we know so far, including what Season 4 could be about, according to the creators and cast.

As of April 11, Yellowjackets has not been renewed for a fourth season by Showtime. Co-showrunners Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson, and Jonathan Lisco previously said they originally planned for five seasons. While the show hasn't been canceled, its future remains uncertain.
'The original plan was about five seasons, and we feel like we're still on track for that,' Lyle told Entertainment Weekly in March 2023. 'So far, we've been really on track.'
Warning: Spoilers ahead for the ending of Yellowjackets Season 3.

Based on how Episode 3 ends—with Natalie discovering the plane transponder that Misty hid back in Season 1—there's a possibility that the fourth season could center around the girls' rescue. In the scene, Natalie hears a voice on the other end of the line, which says, 'Yes, I can hear you.'
When asked by Variety whether there are plans for a rescue in Season 4, Lyle teased, 'We do have plans to pivot at some point, but I think everyone's going to have to watch and see when that might happen.'
Speaking about what fans might expect in a potential next installment, Lyle added, 'Melissa is in the wind; the gloves are off; Misty is on a mission. I think that there's a lot of fun to be had moving forward.'
Sophie Nélisse, who plays young Shauna, told The Direct she's excited for 'what's to come' in the future. While she admitted she has 'no hints,' she shared that she's really hoping for a rescue in Season 4.
'I would like them to be rescued [in season 4]. Or maybe like, partially, half [of season 4] is in the wilderness, and then half is them getting back to real life," she revealed. "And I would love to see how they cope with that, having the pressure of family and the media and school, and having to be immersed in like, a normal life after having undergone all of those events.'
Meanwhile, a lot unfolds in the present day timeline: Van is killed by Melissa, and a heartbroken Taissa eats her heart as an act of love (just like in Season 2, when the survivors ate Javi Martinez's heart to honor him). Shauna's daughter Callie and husband Jeff take off after Callie confesses she accidentally killed Lottie.
Melanie Lynskey, who plays adult Shauna, told Variety that she has no idea what's ahead or whether Shauna's life is at risk. 'I could be killed off in Episode 1 of Season 4. I literally don't know,' she said.
By the end of Season 3, Shauna's world is spiraling out of control—her allies are gone, Jeff blames her for Lottie's death, and Taissa and Misty are targeting her. So, could she be the next to get killed off in Season 4? Likely not, according to Lyle.
'For them to band together to sort of hurt Shauna — to kill Shauna — I don't know that, for a lot of them, they really crossed that line emotionally, even though that would make a lot of sense,' Lyle toldVariety. 'They're still thinking like teenage girls. These are their friends and teammates.'
Also, what would the Antler Queen look like in modern-day New Jersey? Lisco told Variety that the creators would love to explore that storyline in Season 4.
'It's interesting, to me at least, that some of the audience is saying, 'Wow, Shauna has gone so dark.' And, as Ashley said, the seeds were definitely sowed when she was doing all sorts of things, like killing a rabbit with a shovel — et cetera, et cetera — in the early stages. I feel like the word we used for it the other day was self-imprisonment,' he explained. "She was imprisoning herself in this domestic situation, and she was trying to quash all these impulses for many years, and now they have been unleashed."
Stay tuned for more updates on Yellowjackets Season 4.

Mandy Patinkin, Kathryn Grody reveal secret to marriage: 'Not easy'
These two Hollywood legends are seasoned. Mandy Patinkin and his wife, Kathryn Grody, put their relationship onscreen while playing versions of themselves in their new TV series, 'Seasoned.' The idea for the show originated when 'The Princess Bride' star, 72, and Grody, 78, became unlikely Tiktok stars during the 2020 COVID pandemic. 'During the pandemic when everybody was terrified, including us, it surprised us that what was being captured could offer any kind of comfort to people,' Grody said, referring to how their videos went viral. The couple currently has over 2 million TikTok followers. 8 Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody attending the Tony Awards party at the Hilton Hotel in New York, June 8th 1980.

Everett Collection ( 'So that felt like a service that was helping other people and helping us get through it. And we found a lot of joy and pleasure in it, and led to working in the 2020 election, which felt even more significant,' Grody, a writer and Broadway star, added. 'The pleasure of working together did make us say 'yes' to anything.' Co-created by Ewen Wright and their real-life son, Gideon Grody-Patinkin, 'Seasoned' premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 11, and is currently looking for a buyer (it was originally set to air on Showtime, then got dropped amid reshuffling). The show follows Patinkin and Grody playing exaggerated versions of themselves (a la 'Curb Your Enthusiasm') as they have various comedic misadventures – such as not being able to get a table in a New York City restaurant, even when Patinkin name drops his past roles to the oblivious hostess. 8 Mandy Patinkin (center), Kathryn Grody and their son during 'Snow White' Anniversary Premiere at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in 1987.

They met doing a play called 'Split' at the Ensemble Studio Theater in NYC in 1978. 'I wouldn't ask her out until the play was over, because I got burned once, with somebody I was working with. When the play was over, we went out for the first brunch on Sunday at the Black Sheep Tavern at Greenwich and Washington Street on the corner,' Patinkin recalled to The Post. The 'Yentl' star walked in carrying flowers that he'd bought on his way over. 8 Mandy Patinkin with his wife Kathryn Grody and 'Seaoned' co-creators Ewen Wright and Gideon Grody-Patinkin. Brian Zak/Page Six 'I handed them to her and I said, 'I'm going to marry you.' And she said, 'You don't know what you're talking about. You're an actor, and a baby and you're gonna get hurt.'' Their son Gideon told The Post that he attributes their relationship success to 'having time apart' and having interests and work that give them 'space from each other.' Grody agreed that it helped that the couple was in 'different realms.' 'I did not have any interest particularly in television or movies,' she said. 'I think it helped that we really weren't at all competitive. I was very lucky, because I had a husband who enabled me to do an Off-Broadway play and be with my kids.' 8 Mandy Patinkin (L) and Kathryn Grody attend the 66th Annual Tony Awards at the Beacon Theatre on June 10, 2012 in New York City.

David Bloomer/SHOWTIME Patinkin revealed what he thinks is the secret to their relationship's longevity, too. 'I believe that when you meet someone, however old you are, whoever it is that you meet, look for that feeling that you can't explain, that you have no words for. Because the s–t will hit the fan down the road. And you will never forget that feeling when you're alone, quiet, and calming down from your fury. And that feeling will be the glue of your foreverness.' The Emmy-winning actor added about his wife, 'That's what we have. I'd never met anyone like her. And I knew it. And we've made it through a lot, and we're going to have a lot more to make it through. It's thrilling to me – that I have her to get through it with. Because it's not easy sometimes.'

'Adults' star Jack Innanen breaks down the Charlie Cox moment that made him gag on set
While Adults (on Disney+ in Canada, Hulu in the U.S.) has already been making us laugh every week, Episode 6 of the show is absolutely outrageous, in the best way. Speaking to Yahoo Canada in Toronto, one of the show's stars, Canadian Jack Innanen, talked about all the entertaining chaos in that episode, featuring Charlie Cox and Julia Fox. The core story for Episode 6 is that Billie (Lucy Freyer) wants to host a dinner party, with the hopes of showing a mature side of herself and her friends to her boyfriend, her former high school teacher, played by Cox. As Billie says, it's their "roast chicken" era. While everyone seems to at least be trying their best to be mature, things take a turn when Billie's boyfriend shows up and tells Samir (Malik Elassal) that he's high on a "pony dose" of ketamin, stressing that Samir can't tell anyone. But Samir can't help but tell his friends, but not Billie, as her boyfriend starts acting more and more bizarre. To add to the chaos, Paul Baker (Innanen) invites a friend to dinner, and it happens to be Julia Fox (playing herself), who makes his girlfriend Issa (Amita Rao) jealous. "I think the episode pretty much captured what it was like in real life," Innanen said. "I had a couple moments where I was just looking around like, 'What are we doing? This is awesome.'" "It was chaotic. Charlie, [he does this] dance and that was all him. And I remember he was just really into it and killing it. And I was standing off to the side just to watch. ... And then Julia, ... I'm pretty sure she just improvised every one of her lines, and it's so perfect. And it's so her that it was just like a master class. ... A bunch of takes my mouth is just open because I'm just like, 'Wow.!" It all leads to Billie serving a raw chicken, not knowing that it needed to be thawed before going in the oven. But in Mr. Teacher's high, he just keeps cutting this raw meat, with blood splattering, and it looks absolutely revolting. And then Cox's character starts eating the raw meat. For Innanen, that made him feel queasy on set. "I gagged. For real," Innanen said. "I don't do well with raw meat." "Someone else gagged too, which made me gag. ... What he ate, obviously, was like a gelatin thing. ... But it was real raw chicken on my plate. ... The best part was that we went to lunch right after that, and they were serving chicken, and it stayed absolutely untouched. Not a single person, like all 100 of the cast and crew, no one touched the chicken." And after that, Cox's character has a completely breakdown, with his ex-wife having to come get him out of Samir's parents home. With Episode 6 already being a highlight, looking ahead in the season, Innanen teased that Episode 8 includes a particularly shocking moment. "The last like 20 seconds of Episode 8, I've heard ... a lot of people go, 'Whoa. I wasn't expecting that,'" Innanen teased. "And so there's a little bit of a bomb drop, mic drop, at the end of eight that I think throws a little bit of a wrench in the group." We can't wait to watch more Adults for the rest of the season, but maybe with less raw chicken.

Kim Cattrall says Sex and the City character Samantha isn't a nymphomaniac
Former Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has challenged a common misconception about her much-loved character, Samantha Jones. The 68-year-old actor played the sexually voracious public relations executive on the series from 1990 to 2004, with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis, taking on the roles of her best friends, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte respectively. Cattrall's unapologetically promiscuous character – unmarried, by choice, in her forties – became something of a feminist icon but was commonly labelled a nymphomaniac due to her exploits. Speaking to The Times, Cattrall said: 'She wasn't a nymphomaniac – well, some people might have thought she was – but she was just enjoying the main course. Everyone else was nibbling on the appetisers when she was going for the steak. 'And it was always on her terms – that I always insisted on,' she added. 'But, I'm the antithesis of her [Samantha] in many ways. I'm a serial monogamist, and then some.' Cattrall married the Canadian writer Larry Davis when she was just 19. The marriage was annulled after two years. In her twenties, she married the German architect Andreas Lyson, which lasted seven years. In her early forties, Cattrall married for the third time – the musician Mark Levinson. In 2002, the couple wrote a book together: Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm but separated two years later. Cattrall reprised her character of Samantha Jones in the duo of Sex and the City feature films released in 2008 and 2010. She did not return for the show's reboot And Just Like That in 2021 amid reports of a feud between her and Parker and has since confirmed she will not appear in season three of the series. 'I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it,' Cattrall told The Times. 'And if I'm remembered only for that, then that's really OK.' The star turned down the role of Samantha four times before she accepted it. At 41, she didn't think audiences would see her as sexy. 'Self-inflicted ageism,' she reflected. 'Well, that changed – 40 became sexy. It became, 'Man, let's have more of that.''
