Production on “Yellowjackets” Season 3 is well underway, and while we’ll likely have to wait until next year to watch it, star Christina Ricci does bring an exciting tease this week.
Ricci tells The Hollywood Reporter, “This season is going to be even more shocking and surprising than the previous seasons. It’s definitely going to be brutal. But they also put a lot of comedy into it. So I think it’s just going to be… extremely Yellowjackets-y.”
“Yellowjackets” Season 2 ended with Ricci’s character Misty accidentally killing Juliette Lewis’ character Natalie, and Ricci teases Misty’s mental state in the wake of that shocker.
She explains to THR, “She forgave herself for what she did to her friends in the wilderness, and I think she is someone who does get past things because she is a survivor. If events in her life were going to have destroyed her, they would have already done it.”
Ashley Lyle & Bart Nickerson created the hit series, while Jonathan Lisco is the showrunner.
“Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.”
The show’s cast includes Melanie Lynskey (“The Last of Us”), Tawny Cypress (Inez & Doug & Kira), Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers), Christina Ricci (“Wednesday”), Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), Lauren Ambrose (“Servant”) and Simone Kessell (“Obi-Wan”).
