"Yellowjackets" tells the narrative of a team of wildly talented high-school girls soccer players who survive a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to warring, cannibalistic clans, while also tracking the lives they have attempted to piece back together. Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher and Sammi Hanratty star as the teenagers, while Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci and Juliette Lewis portray their adult counterparts as they reveal the truth about their survival 25 years later.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Still at its very best when lost in the wilderness, Yellowjackets' third season is inescapably uneven but carried along effortlessly by its stronger elements.

The performances are consistently stellar, from the veterans to the relative newcomers, and Lynskey and Ricci especially shine in the present-day scenes, bringing welcome humor to their dark, frequently amoral characters. Go to Full Review Sam Adams Slate 02/22/2025
We don’t need to know where we’re going, but we need the sense that we’re going somewhere. Otherwise we’ll start shaking that mystery box, listening for the rattle until we wonder if there’s anything inside it at all. Go to Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 02/21/2025
Yellowjackets isn’t quite one show but several of inconsistent quality joined by the flimsy glue of lingering questions that don’t seem all that complicated. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. 04/13/2025
The main reason that this finale works is because it keeps the present day storyline to a bare minimum. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof 02/26/2025
...the series continues to give us everything that made us fall in love with it: that black humor, a certain macabre quality, a fascinating mystery that is wonderfully ambiguous...and a tremendously successful and growing cast. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kimberly S @RT86275988 May 10 La primera temporada fue espectacular. Pero luego perdió la verosimilitud de unas chicas sobreviviendo en un bosque. Los personajes tienen ropa distinta todos los días, incluso para un ritual tenían outfits especiales y globos, me sacó por completo de la historia la falta de realismo. Una lástima. See more Cristian S @cristiansj Apr 28 Lejos del nivel de la primer temporada, Yellowjackets sigue contando una historia interesante pero que cada vez se siente mas estirada lamentablemente. See more Kristine A @Miel94 Mar 3 Another successful season! I’m so excited for season 4!! I don’t know why people are complaining about it being unrealistic. It’s a TV show… none of it is real, lol. But it’s an amazing series!! One of my absolute favorites 🐝 See more Jen N @Flygirl2992 Feb 20 The show is starting to lose the plot. We finally get some answers to long-running questions, but the pit-girl payoff is just flat. I just don't care about these characters very much anymore, all are either unbelievable, or unlikable. Killing so much of the adult cast for nothing is not raising the stakes for us, it's just making me not want to watch the show anymore. Honestly, kinda glad they only got renewed for one more season, because there's just no way to stretch this for two more. So much for the "5 year plan." See more Heather D @deepsters Feb 17 I’ve never seen a series decline as dramatically as Yellowjackets did from Season 2 to Season 3. What once felt tense, layered, and purposeful has devolved into one of the weakest seasons of television I’ve watched in years. Season 3 relies heavily on characters making wildly unrealistic and implausible decisions simply to force the plot forward. When the story only functions because the characters behave in ways that don’t make sense, that’s not compelling drama — it’s lazy writing. This series would have been far stronger if it had concluded at the end of Season 2. See more Jason K. @jkonar Jan 26 I missed this season but this is so good this season is good I can't wait for season 4 the last season. See more Read all reviews
