The end is officially coming for the Yellowjackets. Paramount+ has announced that the Emmy-nominated survival thriller will return for its fourth and final season on Friday, November 20, exclusively for subscribers with the Paramount+ Premium Plan. A date announcement video has also been released, teasing the final chapter of the story and suggesting that the Yellowjackets’ homecoming won’t exactly be a happy one.

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.
The returning cast for the final season includes Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins, Nia Sondaya, and Jenna Burgess. The final season will also feature Hilary Swank.
As previously reported, Molly Ringwald and June Squibb have also joined the fourth and final season.
Yellowjackets is executive produced by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, who also serve as showrunners. Jonathan Lisco, Drew Comins, Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa, and Julia Bicknell also executive produce. The series is produced for SHOWTIME by Lionsgate Television and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
