The second season of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” will premiere on March 24, 2023 – with a third season already ordered – and it seems the potential for spinoffs is on the table.
Chatting with THR this week ahead of Season 2, “Yellowjackets” creators Ashley Lyle & Bart Nickerson briefly touched upon the idea of potential spinoff projects.
Lyle explains, “We’re aware that it’s something they’re interested in, and we certainly aren’t closed off to the idea. It would have to make sense. We have a couple of ideas.”
Showtime is going all-in on their most successful franchises, recently ordering up a brand new “Dexter” spinoff, so we imagine Showtime is indeed hungry to get as much mileage out of “Yellowjackets” as they can. But for now, no spinoff projects are in the works.
Season 2 will return starting Friday, March 24 on streaming and on demand for all SHOWTIME subscribers, before making its on-air debut on Sunday, March 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
“Yellowjackets is 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, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.”
In season two, two months have passed since Shauna gave Jackie the cold shoulder— to disastrous results. In the face of their deepening hunger and fear, the tension among our Yellowjackets has only grown worse. The harsh conditions of winter are intensifying by the day, and the psyches of our survivors are deteriorating just as fast. Threatened by the darkness of the wilderness— and the haunting memories of it in the present— our former state champs will be forced to make impossible decisions. As they confront the horrible truth of what survival entails, the real nightmare for each of them will be to figure out who they are— and what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive.
