“Their story does not end here…”

Yellowjackets season 3 premiered on February 14th 2025 on Showtime with the first two episodes. The remaining eight episodes will air weekly. It stars Christina Ricci, Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Thatcher, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Sammi Hanratty. Each episode runs for approximately 53-55 minutes.

After surviving a plane crash in the middle of the wilderness, a high school girls soccer team attempts to keep going with no hope of rescue. Years later, they try to cope with the horrific events that took place after the crash as new characters emerge from their past.

Here is the trailer:

Yellowjackets is a bonkers and trippy show that provides just the right amount of mystery and juicy drama. Does the season 3 premiere do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

The dark mystery continues…

My favorite part about this series is the unexplained mystery surrounding the girls in the woods. It’s twisted and dark and I’m anxious to finally find out more about it and what this force wants from them. Is there actually something out there or is it all in their heads?

I don’t know, but I thought the opening two episodes did enough to hook me again. I’m hopeful we will get some more answers this season.

Our favorite characters expose more layers.

Yellowjackets is one of the few series that features past and present timelines that are equally interesting, making us invest in the outcome of every character that much more.

I was happy to see our favorite characters getting more screen time in the first two episodes of season 3 (even if it slowed down the pacing a little bit) because certain dynamics and relationships needed to be fleshed out.

I’m really liking the bond between Shauna and Callie a lot more this season and Misty is digging deeper this time around after coping with the death of one of my favorite characters. It’ll be interesting to see how the dynamic between the survivors changes now.

The Cons:

Confusing time jump.

It’s clear that some time has gone by in the past timeline. We’re now in spring so the girls made it through the winter, but I felt a little confused and fuzzy on what was going on. I think we needed more of a seamless transition here or a better way to fill in the missing details.

I also thought that the pacing felt slower for the first two episodes. I’m hoping this improves by the next episode.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Yellowjackets season 3 already has a lot of potential, luring us back into a dark and twisted mystery worth exploring.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!
