“Yellowjackets,” Season 3: The Writing Secrets of a Cult Series
Season 3 of "Yellowjackets" premieres this June 26, 2025, in France. The dual narrative of a group of high school girls' struggle for survival after a plane crash and their lives thirty years later remains dark and biting. Three of the writers spoke to "Vulture" about the creative process. And their difficulty in killing off certain characters.
Dark humor is a hallmark of Yellowjackets. And the series from the American channel Showtime, available in France on Canal+, interweaves it with dramatic, disturbing elements, without forgetting a pinch of fantasy. The third season, broadcast in the United States at the beginning of the year, arrives in France starting this June 26. The viewer discovers the continuation of the story, summarized in broad strokes by Vulture as that of “a [junior] girls' football team whose plane crashes and who survives by cannibalism.” The story still follows two timelines: the adventures of the high school girls in the woods take place in the 1990s, and we learn what happens to them in the present, thirty years later.
The first two seasons were well-received by critics and audiences alike, garnering acclaim, particularly as a successful parable about teenage relationships. Borrowing from the codes of horror, Yellowjackets promises more thrills in its third season.
