Someone at Showtime really digs Yellowjackets.

The network gave the show a season two renewal five episodes into its debut season, and now has given the Emmy-nominated series even more episodes by contracting a third season.

Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson created the hit show with Johnathon Lisco as showrunner for the series, which pulled in 5 million weekly viewers. According to Deadline, the timing of the renewal may be tied to the deadline for picking up the options of the cast members.

Yellowjackets tells the story of a New Jersey high school soccer team that’s involved in a plane crash in 1996 while on their way to Seattle for a national tournament. The show details what happened to them after the crash strands them in a remote location as well as chronicling their adult, post-crash lives in the present day.

Season 2 of Yellowjackets will continue to follow these two separate timelines, with the survivors of the plane crash never quite revealing what really happened in the woods all those years ago.

“With Yellowjackets’ runaway success in Season 1 and the pent-up anticipation for Season 2, we wanted to maximize the momentum by fast-tracking Season 3 now,” said McCarthy, President/CEO, Showtime and Paramount Media Networks in a statement. “The show’s ambition is only exceeded by its execution, and I thank the incredible creative team behind it, including Ashley, Bart, Jonathan, eOne and the Showtime team, for turning this into such a success.”

The early renewal “demonstrates our strong commitment to the show and its ability to continue to grow as well as how it fits clearly within a Showtime brand,” McCarthy continued, adding that the show, with its “complex and subversive antiheroes,” is one of the key elements in Showtime’s 2023 (and beyond) branding strategy.

Yellowjackets stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Ella Purnell, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, Steven Krueger, and Warren Cole. Their younger counterparts are played by Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Sammi Hanratty, and Jack Depew.

Yellowjackets season 2 premieres Sunday, March 26th on Showtime, with new episodes available to stream on the Friday before on the Showtime app.
