Five episodes into Yellowjackets‘ freshman run, the survival drama has been renewed for a second season by Showtime, reports Deadline.
Meagan Navarro just hyped the show here on Bloody with the article “Hell Is a Teenage Cannibal: “Yellowjackets” Is Event Television You Should Be Watching!”
Yellowjackets, featuring an all-star female cast led by Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, and Tawny Cypress, launched to strong reviews, with the site noting that it scored a rare 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and has been seen by over 4 million viewers across platforms to date. Showtime’s President of Entertainment Gary Levine called it “an unadulterated sensation” and “a hotshot out of a cannon.”
Yellowjackets’ streaming debut was second only to the return of Showtime’s signature drama Dexter with the limited series Dexter: New Blood.
The series hails from creators/executive producers/co-showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, exec producer/co-showrunner Jonathan Lisco, eOne and Drew Comins’ studio-based Creative Engine.
As for Dexter: New Blood: “Dexter is a limited series and any further discussions of Dexter will have to wait until we finish airing the limited series and see where we are with our stories and our characters,” Levine told the site. “Dexter was really designed to have a proper conclusion to the series, and I believe we will deliver that in the best possible way.”
“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.”
