Yellowjackets

This equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama tells the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.

Why it matters

A survival thriller that became both a critical favourite and a genuine word-of-mouth cult hit.

About Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets comes back for a fourth and final season, closing out the story it opened in 2021. The show runs two timelines at once: a high school girls' soccer team stranded in the northern wilderness after a plane crash, and the same women twenty-five years later, holding together lives built on what they did out there. It has worked as a survival story, a piece of psychological horror and a coming-of-age drama simultaneously, which is part of why it spread by word of mouth rather than arriving as a hit.

The final season premieres on November 22, 2026, carried by Showtime and Paramount+ with Showtime. Two things matter here. It has been confirmed as the last season, so the show is written to end rather than to leave room for more, which changes what these episodes owe the audience. And the two timelines have been converging for three seasons; this is the stretch where they are meant to meet.
