When is Yellowjackets season 4 coming? Cast, plot and everything we know so far
If you're still reeling from Yellowjackets ' explosive Season 3 finale, you're definitely not alone. That final scene? Chills. And now, with the show officially renewed for a fourth season, fans are buzzing louder than ever about what's next for our favorite (and, let's be honest, slightly terrifying) stranded soccer team—and their adult counterparts. Release Date Rumors: When Will Season 4 Hit Screens? So far, Showtime and Paramount+ haven't dropped a release date for Season 4, but here's what we do know. The renewal was confirmed on May 20, 2025, about a month after Season 3 wrapped up in April. Looking at past premiere dates—Season 1 in November 2021, Season 2 in March 2023, and Season 3 in February 2025—it's clear that the timeline's been a little unpredictable. Season 2 and 3 had a bigger gap due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes. If things stay on track this time, there's a good chance we'll see Season 4 hit screens sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. That gives the team enough breathing room for the usual filming and post-production, plus all the meticulous, layered storytelling Yellowjackets is known for. Cast Updates: Who's Returning? While no official cast list has been dropped yet, a lot of familiar faces are expected to return. Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse (adult and teen Shauna) are all but guaranteed, especially after Shauna's sinister evolution into the 'antler queen.' Christina Ricci and Samantha Hanratty (Misty), Tawny Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown (Taissa), and Courtney Eaton (teen Lottie) are also likely sticking around. Simone Kessell's adult Lottie sadly didn't survive the season, but with Yellowjackets , death doesn't always mean a final goodbye—flashbacks and hallucinations are part of the show's DNA. Juliette Lewis' Natalie, for example, skipped Season 3 but could very well return in some spectral form, just like Jackie did in earlier seasons. Newer characters like Ashley Sutton's Hannah (whose fate was left dangling), and Elijah Wood's ever-mysterious Walter, are big question marks—but don't be surprised if they play major roles going forward. Plot Details: What's Next for the Yellowjackets? Season 3 left us on a massive cliffhanger. Natalie managed to get a signal out using the plane's black box and a satellite phone—her desperate 'Can you hear me?' was finally answered. Is rescue finally coming? Maybe. But showrunner Ashley Lyle has already warned that the girls are 'not out of the woods yet.' Literally and metaphorically. Season 4 is likely to cover the final stretch of their brutal 18-month survival in the wilderness. The second winter is coming, and so is a deepening divide among the survivors. Shauna's dark rise to power, seen when she manipulates Mari's death (yep, she was the infamous 'pit girl'), suggests a growing rift with those like Natalie and Misty who still cling to hope of being rescued. Even once that rescue does come, don't expect sunshine and healing. The showrunners have hinted that they'll dig into the aftermath—what happens when the girls return home, carrying the horrors of what they did to survive? The Present-Day Timeline The adult timeline is just as tangled. With the deaths of adult Van, Coach Ben, and Lottie, the core group is fractured again. Shauna's growing tension with Melissa (played by Hilary Swank) adds another layer of instability, and Walter's cryptic plotting could become the wild card that changes everything. What's still unclear is how the adult survivors will move forward as their past closes in on them. The show's creepy psychological edge is likely to deepen, with the lines between what's real and imagined continuing to blur—especially with Lottie's visions still casting a long shadow over the group.

‘South Park' Seasons 1-26 Leaving HBO Max This Coming Week
Trey Parker and Matt Stone's South Park is packing up Seasons 1-26 of the classic series and soon leaving HBO Max after a five-year run on the streaming platform. South Park Season 27, of course, made its hugely anticipated debut on Comedy Central on July 23 following a two-week delay as negotiations continued between Paramount Global and Parker and Stone's Park County company to bring the new season to Paramount+, as well as Seasons 1-26. A five-year, $1.5 billion deal between the parties was struck the day of the Comedy Central premiere. Paramount+ began Season 27 on July 24, as well as Seasons 1-26. Under the new deal, Comedy Central will first air new episodes on Wednesday evenings and Paramount+ will stream them the next day. Parker and Stone's deal calls for the duo to produce 50 new episodes of South Park over the next five years. HBO Max posted a notice on Friday that South Park Seasons 1-26 will be leaving the Warner Bros. Discovery platform on Tuesday, Aug. 5. According to The Hollywood Reporter, HBO Max and Park County's deal to stream South Park on the platform was extended while negotiations with Parker and Stone's deal continued with Paramount Global. The latter, of course, is acquired by Skydance. 'South Park' Season 27 Episode 1 Drew In Big Viewership The premiere episode of South Park Season 27 — which brutally lampooned President Donald Trump in both South Park animation style and a — attracted a huge viewership for both Comedy Central and Paramount+. The premiere episode, called Sermon on the 'Mount, drew in 5.9 million viewers across both platforms in the first three days it was available on Comedy Central and Paramount+, THR reported. After a one-week hiatus, South Park Season 27 will return with Episode 2 on the cable channel and the streaming platform this week. A teaser for Season 27 Episode 2 was released on July 29, which featured President Donald Trump rubbing Satan's leg under a dinner table, Cartman engaged in an argument about abortion with a South Park Elementary classmate and Mr. Garrison suited up with ICE officers and riding in an ICE convoy. Since Parker and Stone's South Park episodes on topical news of the day, it's unlikely any of the footage will make it into this week's episode. Parker promised at a San Diego Comic Con panel on July 24 that he and Stone would not be releasing canned material. 'You seriously think we made a bunch of shows ahead of time and baked them for later? We're not doing any of that,' Parker told the crowd at Comic Con (via Deadline). South Park Season 27 Episode 2 airs Wednesday on Comedy Central and streams Thursday on Paramount+. Seasons 1-26 of the series, which are already streaming on Paramount+, will leave HBO Max on Aug. 5.
