What day and time will 'Yellowjackets' Season 2 release? And everything you need to know
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: There is no dearth of TV series at our disposal these days. Some get overlooked, some overhyped and some get lost in the echo. So when a show like 'Yellowjackets' gets a fantastic reception by the audience and the critics, it's a no-brainer that you have to have a second season and probably more. The ultimate survival thriller, 'Yellowjackets' is about a high school girl (played by Melanie Lynskey), whose school soccer team meets an immense tragedy in the form of a plane crash and the survivors are left stranded in the middle of the Canadian greens. They have no choice but to learn to survive in the hostile conditions.
The first season had 10 episodes and it was a hit, which pushed makers to commence writing the script for Season 2 even before Season 1 finale aired. Showtime's entertainment president, Gary Levine, loved receiving the accolades that come with such a successful project. "Yellowjackets has been an unadulterated sensation for Showtime," Gary reportedly said. Here's hoping that Season 2 will be equally amazing as its predecessor. So here's all you need to know about 'Yellowjackets' Season 2.
