Yellowjackets- Showtime

    

Showtime’s Yellowjackets returned to Vancouver this September to film their second season and are expected to be on location until February next year. Starring popular long-time actress Christina Ricci, alongside Juliette Lewis, Melanie Lynskey and Tawny Cypress, it has badass lady vibes and has been referred to as “the best portrayal of trauma on television.”

“Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, ‘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 (Canadian) 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.” –Showtime

Release dates are expected in the first quarter of 2023 so get watching the first season now!
