Yellowjackets Season 2 release date announced for the return of Showtime’s nail-biting drama series

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 UnderServant, Where the Wild Things Are) and Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan KenobiOutlaws), with Elijah Wood (Come to DaddyDirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency) entering the mix for a season-long arc.
