"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.

Josh Bell Boston Globe 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. Jun 11, 2025 Full Review Sam Adams Slate 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. Feb 22, 2025 Full Review Melanie McFarland Salon.com 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. Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Joe Lipsett Queer.Horror.Movies. The main reason that this finale works is because it keeps the present day storyline to a bare minimum. Apr 13, 2025 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof ...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] Feb 26, 2025 Full Review Rachel Tolleson The Mary Sue Yellowjackets continues to be a show where the characters make the worst decisions possible, but it serves the plot in a way that makes sense.

Andrei D Still one of the best mystery tv shows, the acting is very good, might be spinning a few too many ideas Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review THE NASHVILLE I After spending time building character and backstory in S2, the action is believably and superbly ramped up in S3. New secrets from the past blend well with the writing in the present. The show does an amazing job going places other shows are afraid to…but doing so in a way that’s authentic, and not forced. Thatcher and Ricci continue to be forces of nature. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Mark C Clearly they are aiming for 10 seasons and so the story is lagging or lost. What should have been an intriguing cannibalism/survival Lord of the Flies story has turned into an incoherent snoozefest that goes nowhere Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/05/25 Full Review Stephen C 10 fantastic episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review CJ R A show once rife with mystery and that “on the edge of your seat” j’n sais quoi has overstayed its welcome. The show had a perfect opportunity to wrap things up nicely, but decided to instead prolong the story needlessly. Also, I am completely over teen Shauna’s character. I cringed every time she would appear on screen. Her over-the-top teen angst emoting is just terribly written, predictable, irksome, and tiresome. I’ll be quite honest when I say her character is the reason I have no desire to watch Season 4. The writers have made me despise her character so much (and not in a good way), that I don’t really care how it ends anymore. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Joshua m The 3rd season completes the story and many mysteries of the first 2 seasons. This is a good show, even if it drags a bit and seems frustrating at times. The ensemble acting of both the teens and adults is excellent. The series is based on the question of supernatural causes vs human psychology and belief systems. The frog scene hints at the answer. In reading other reviews, there are a lot of complaints that the characters have become unlikeable. This is true and I can see how others rate this season poorly. But that is the story arc. YJ is a female Lord of the Flies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
