YELLOWJACKETS showrunners offer a positive update on season 3

Yellow jackets Season 3 is back in development! The showrunners of the series, Ashley Lyle, Bart NickersonAND Jonathan Liscooffered an update on the project, saying that writing for the next chapter of the story has already begun.

As reported by Variety, the showrunners shared an update on the show during a Q&A for members of the SAG-AFTRA nominating committee. Lyle said: “We are deeply committed to writing” and confirmed that the writers had already gathered before the strikes began in May.

Once the WGA strike was over, the team was ready to get back to work and they were excited about it. Lyle said, “Everyone came back so incredibly excited, raring to go and creatively reinvigorated.”

Showtime’s Yellowjackets series has gone through two great seasons so far, with season 2 ending in a surprisingly shocking way. There is a five-season plan for Yellowjackets and in future seasons of the series, the story will become really interesting as it will lead to what happens to the survivors of the plane crash after they are rescued and returned to civilization.

Yellowjackets director and producer Karyn Kusama previously teased what was to come, saying, “I’ve been so excited about this. The concept of that immediate consequence of re-entering the world, for me, has a whole season of material there. And the fact that each of these characters is facing such a long game, in terms of reorienting themselves to whatever normality is supposed to be. I’m sure we’ll learn that their normality is very different from our normality… There’s a lot to understand between the season 2 and season 3.”

Lyle previously revealed that they had a five-season plan and were on track to realize the entire story they wanted to tell. When they talked about the comprehensive plan they initially pitched, they explained why they believe five seasons is the right stopping point.

Lyle shared, “The original plan was about five seasons, and we feel like we’re still on track to get that done. There’s always room for things. We don’t really consider it more than a five-season show. I think there are series that can go on forever, but I think when you’re telling a story that’s so deeply serialized and it’s about the lives of these characters, you want to get to a satisfying conclusion and not just drag things out forever. really one of those patterns that shows where it can go anywhere So far we’ve been really on track. Season 2 is largely what we always planned, but there are a lot of discoveries along the way so it’s always a little surprising.”

Co-creator Bart Nickerson he also talked about how the process of coming up with the story and journey of these characters works and how nothing is set in stone: “In terms of some of the main places where we wanted to set or move the story, that’s happening, but a lot of Some of the dynamics and what it means for the characters are different than I thought they would be. Some of the major cues are still happening, they’re just happening in different ways, which seems perfect to keep the experience alive and vital on our side. We get a lot of excitement from the discovery part. It’s an important part of our process and what we enjoy most about doing it. We think the architecture we started with is still holding up, but all the rooms are turning out to be quite different in this exciting way.”

Yellowjackets is the saga of “a team of highly talented high school soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to a wild clan, while also following the lives they’ve attempted to put back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never truly the past and what began in the wilderness is long gone. . from beyond.”
