The teen girl soccer players marooned in the Canadian wilderness are finally back for another season. Season 1 of Yellowjackets exposed betrayals, drama, and continuously worsening conditions for all of them. Of course, being teens, they survived the only way they knew how.
25 years later, survivors of this ordeal look back on their lives and still carry the weight of this unintended adventure. Season 2 follows the core 4 Yellowjackets — Natalie (Juliette Lewis), Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), Taissa (Tawny Cypress), and Misty (Christina Ricci) — as they deal with the consequences of new investigations, past regrets, and more clues about Lottie and Taissa's visions.
