Yellowjackets, a show about high school girls stranded in the wild, was renewed for Season 3 in December 2022, ahead of Season 2's March 2023 premiere.
Yellowjackets season 3 has no confirmed release date due to Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes. Deadline reported that the writers' room for Yellowjackets Season 3 opened on October 4, but it closed after just one day.
For Season 2, script work began in May 2022, with filming from August 2022 to February 2023. It premiered in March 2023. Season 3's script might be ready in three months, possibly filming starting in January 2024. Assuming no further delays, season 3 might be out on Showtime in summer or fall 2024, with fall being more likely.
Ashley Lyle, Yellowjackets co-creator, announced a «bonus episode» between Seasons 2 and 3.
If the writers prioritize the bonus episode, season 3 could see a slight delay. Showtime might release the bonus episode in mid-2024, as promised by Lyle.
Yellowjackets season 1 debuted on November 14, 2021, and season 2 on March 26, 2022. The first two seasons of Yellowjackets can be watched on Hulu and The Roku Channel.
When is Yellowjackets season 3 expected to be released?
The release date for Yellowjackets season 3 remains uncertain due to Hollywood strikes. It may arrive in summer or fall 2024, with a potential slight delay.
Will there be a bonus episode of Yellowjackets before season 3?
Yes, a bonus episode is confirmed by co-creator Ashley Lyle and is expected to be released in mid-2024, preceding season 3.
