Who Says Cannibalism and Valentine’s Day Can’t Coexist? Release Date Announced for Yellowjackets Season 3

Yellowjackets fans, rejoice! Season 3 of the hit series has a release date, and it’s coming at an intriguingly apt time.

After the whirlwind that was season 2 wrapped up in early 2023, enthusiasts of Yellowjackets have been eagerly awaiting what’s next. However, the writer and actor strikes last year caused some understandable delays. Earlier this year, there was exciting news about new cast members, particularly for those nostalgic for Community, but now, Showtime has officially announced that season 3 will premiere on February 14 of next year. That’s right, Valentine’s Day. It’s a fitting choice, considering the show’s unique take on camaraderie, which has its own brand of… well, let’s call it ‘intense bonding,’ if you catch my drift. Who knew sharing more than just a meal could be so fascinatingly complex?

If you’re new to the Yellowjackets frenzy, here’s the scoop: the show dives into the gripping story of a high school girls’ soccer team. After surviving a plane crash in the remote northern wilderness, they navigate the nuances of a close-knit team turning into primal tribes. Simultaneously, their adult lives unravel as they grapple with the shadows of their traumatic past, reminding us all that what happened out in the wild never truly stays behind.

In the teaser for the upcoming season—which admittedly doesn’t spill too many secrets—we see the exciting addition of Joel McHale and Hilary Swank to the returning cast lineup. Let’s hope these new faces stick around for a while! You’ll be able to catch the latest season on Paramount+ with Showtime on February 14, before its traditional TV debut on February 16. For fans outside the U.S., Paramount+ will have you covered as well.

So gear up for a new chapter in this thrilling saga, where the past and present intersect in ways you can’t begin to imagine.
