The internet is all abuzz now that Showtime has revealed the Yellowjackets Season 2 release date. The episodic drama created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson ignited the pop culture zeitgeist upon its 2021 debut, and fans have been craving more of the harrowing story ever since. Luckily, on streaming and On Demand, Showtime says its Yellowjackets Season 2 release date is poised to sting on Friday, March 24, 2023. Meanwhile, others will have to wait for the show’s on-air date, set for Sunday, March 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Nominated for seven Emmy awards, Yellowjackets is sitting pretty with a 100% Average Score on Rotten Tomatoes, with an Average Audience Score of 78% Fresh. The pulse-pounding thriller is the second-most streamed series in Showtime history, and new episodes of the survivalist saga can’t arrive fast enough.
Showtime’s Yellowjackets tells the story of a talented high school soccer team whose plane crashes deep in the Canadian wilderness. Depending on one another for survival, the situation quickly spirals out of control as circumstances become direr, and alliances break the bonds of trust.

Joining the cast as series regulars are Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under, Servant, Where the Wild Things Are) and Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Outlaws), with Elijah Wood (Come to Daddy, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency) entering the mix for a season-long arc.
Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief, 47 Meters Down: Uncaged), Jasmin Savoy Brown (For the People, The Leftovers), Sophie Thatcher (The Book of Boba Fett, Prospect), Samantha Hanratty (Zoe Gone, Shameless), Courtney Eaton (Mad Max: Fury Road, Gods of Egypt), Liv Hewson (Dramaworld, Santa Clarita Diet), Steven Krueger (The Originals, Goosebumps), Warren Kole (The Following, Shades of Blue), and Kevin Alves (Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments, Locke & Key) also star.
Are you excited about the Yellowjackets Season 2 release date? I bought Season 1 of the series a few weeks back, though I’ve yet to watch it. I need to get on that before Season 2 kicks off.
