Yellowjackets Cast Marks Final Season at Los Angeles Premiere

The cast of Yellowjackets came together at Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles on November 11 for the premiere of the show’s final season. Among those attending were Lynskey, Ricci, Morrison and Nélisse, along with other cast members. The fourth season starts on Paramount+ on November 20.

Several actors described the end of the series as difficult, while saying they valued knowing in advance that the story was reaching its conclusion. Lynskey said she had not wanted the show to end, but was glad the cast knew the final season would be their last while filming it.

Nélisse, who portrays the younger version of Lynskey’s character, said the cast had grown together over the years and that the farewell felt definitive. Sophie Thatcher said she found it surreal to let go of her character, while Jasmin Savoy Brown reflected on the seven years the show had occupied in the cast’s lives.

Other cast members spoke about making the most of their final time together. Samantha Hanratty said she was proud the series would have a complete beginning, middle and end. Elijah Wood, who joined in the second season, said returning to conclude his character’s story was a satisfying experience.

Co-creator Bart Nickerson said the story began moving toward its conclusion more quickly than expected. The creators chose to fit the remaining story into the fourth season rather than risk extending the series into a fifth. The drama follows a New Jersey soccer team stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a 1996 plane crash, alongside the adult survivors’ efforts to live with what happened.
