What is Yellowjackets about?
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, Yellowjackets follows a talented high school girls soccer team whose lives are changed forever when their plane crashes in the remote northern wilderness. Stranded far from civilization, the survivors gradually descend from an organized soccer team into increasingly brutal factions as they struggle to survive. The series also follows the adult versions of the survivors nearly 25 years later, as they attempt to build lives while keeping the horrifying secrets of their time in the wilderness buried.
The series mixes survival drama, psychological horror, and coming-of-age drama, with the events of the past continuing to haunt the characters in the present. And with season 4 serving as the show’s final season, the story is heading toward its ultimate confrontation with everything that happened after the crash.
As the survivors race to bury their sins before rescue arrives and an old flame roars back into town with plans of her own. Turns out not every homecoming is a joyous one, and this one’s going to sting.
