The Wiskayok Yellowjackets are heading home at last.
Paramount+ announced Thursday that the fourth and final season of Yellowjackets will premiere Nov. 20 for subscribers to its premium tier (i.e., the former Showtime tier). The final season will debut about 19 months after season three concluded in — which coincidentally is also how long the teenage versions of the show’s characters spend in the Canadian wilderness after their plane crashes.
The streamer also released a short teaser, showing a bank of 1990s-era TV sets airing footage of the series interspersed with news reports of the high school soccer team’s rescue. Front and center is the MTV News logo, and on another set, former MTV anchor Kurt Loder says “Rescue teams in Canada” have found the missing teenagers. Watch the teaser below.
Yellowjackets set up the rescue in one of the final scenes of the season three finale, with Natalie (Sophie Thatcher) finally making contact with the outside world via a satellite phone.
“To be able to tell the story of the reassimilation into society, to see what horrors are in store for them even without the horrors of the wilderness, is very exciting,” co-creator Ashley Lyle told The Hollywood Reporter after the finale.
The final season of Yellowjackets will star Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins, Nia Sondaya, Jenna Burgess and Hilary Swank.
Lyle and Bart Nickerson created the series, which is produced by Lionsgate Television. They are co-showrunners and executive produce with Drew Comins of Creative Engine, Jonathan Lisco, Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Julia Bicknell.
