Showtime’s mystery drama Yellowjackets is ending with its upcoming fourth season, per Variety.
The series originally debuted in 2021, with the third season airing between February and April 2025. The fourth season will premiere in 2026, with an exact release date to be revealed at a later time.
Co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson said in a statement: “After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season. We’ve always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it’s our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen. Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we’re so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life. Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery and meal – the Hive is nothing without you! We can’t wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it…delicious.”
‘Yellowjackets’ follows the survivors of a deadly remote plane crash across two timelines — the 1990s when they were teens and the present day. Season 3 of the series starred Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins and Simone Kessell. Elijah Wood appeared in a recurring role, and Hilary Swank, Joel McHale, and Ashley Sutton guest starred.
