Yellowjackets Season 3 Release Date: Yellowjackets, Showtime’s hit mystery story with two different timelines set in the 1990s, has been a lot of fun to watch over the past two seasons.
After a season of mysteries, questions, and teases, the show’s second year turned up the heat and showed some of the cannibalism and other weird things that fans had been thinking about during Season 1.
But anyone who has seen shows like Lost or Yellowjackets knows that we’re still in the beginning stages of figuring out how to get through this mess.
To get the whole picture, we’ll need more seasons so that we can see how the characters’ stories develop and get answers to the many questions that have already been raised.
Here’s what we know so far about Yellowjackets’s third season. Scroll down and read the full article to get all details.
What is the Renewal Status of Yellowjackets Season 3?
Yellowjackets season 3 will start in December 2022, before season 2 comes out in March 2023. This was confirmed by Showtime. Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, who made the show, have said that it will have five seasons.
The show is about a group of teenage soccer players who escape a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness and turn to cannibalism and other bad things to stay alive. But season 3 isn’t being made right now because of a strike by the Writers Guild of America.
Thousands of writers who work for streaming services are taking part in the strike to demand fair pay and working conditions. Lyle wrote on Twitter that she can’t wait to get back to work once the WGA gets a good deal.
Yellowjackets Season 3 Release Date!
Yellowjackets season 3 hasn’t been given a release date yet, but we can make some guesses based on how the first two seasons turned out.
Season 1 started in November 2021 and went through January 2022. Season 2 started in March 2023 and went through May 2023.
If season 3 follows a similar plan and the WGA strike doesn’t cause major delays, we can expect season 3 to start in late summer or fall 2024.

What Will be the Storyline of Yellowjackets Season 3?
Yellowjackets season 3 will keep the show’s format of switching between 1996, when the girls were lost in the woods for 19 months, and 2021 when they are adults dealing with the effects of their traumatic experience and a mysterious threat that wants to expose their secrets.
The end of Season 2 left us with several unanswered questions and cliffhangers that will probably be answered in Season 3.
Travis (Kevin Alves) killed Nat (Sophie Thatcher) in 1996 when she and Shauna (Sophie Nélisse) and Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown) tried to escape. Travis then took Shauna as a hostage and brought her back to the camp, where Misty (Samantha Hanratty), the new head of The Yellowjackets, had taken over.
Van (Liv Hewson), who had been hurt by a bear, was still missing, and Ben (Steven Krueger) was still trying to fix the radio so he could call for help.
In 2021, we saw that Kevyn Tan (Alex Wyndham), a crooked cop working for Walter (Elijah Wood), a billionaire fanboy who was obsessed with the Yellowjackets story and wanted to find out what really happened in the woods, shot and killed Nat (Juliette Lewis).
Walter also took Misty (Christina Ricci) hostage and beat her to get information from her. With the help of her ex-lover Jessica (Melanie Field), Misty was able to get away. Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), her blackmailer and lover Adam (Zachary Knighton), who turned out to be Walter’s brother, was arrested for killing him.
Taissa (Tawny Cypress), whose husband Simone (Keeya King) also worked for Walter, was also arrested for killing him. Lottie, played by Simone Kessell, was sent to a mental hospital after she had a nervous break and said she could see the future.
And Van (Lauren Ambrose), who was thought to have died in the plane crash, was found to be alive and living as Jackie (Ella Purnell), the team captain.
Most likely, Season 3 will tell us more about what happened to Van/Jackie and how she made it through the crash and out of the woods. It will also show how Shauna, Taissa, Misty, and Van will deal with their court problems and their enemies.
It will also reveal more secrets and mysteries about the Yellowjackets’ ordeal in the woods, such as who was behind the strange symbols and rituals, what Lottie’s visions and powers meant, what happened to Javi (Luciano Leroux) and Crystal (Nuha Jes Izman), who were killed by Misty’s followers, and what was the role of the mysterious man in the fur coat (Ryan Robbins), who appeared in the last scene of season 2?

No one knows if Simone Kessell will come back as Lottie, who was sent to a mental hospital. There could also be new cast members who play new characters or old characters who haven’t been seen yet.

Conclusion
Showtime has announced that Yellowjackets will have a third season, but it is on hold because of the WGA strike. The show’s creators want it to run for five seasons. It’s about a group of teenage soccer players who escape a plane crash in the Canadian wilderness by eating each other and doing other bad things.
The show jumps back and forth between 1996 and 2021. It has a great cast and a story that keeps you interested. Season 3 will probably start at the end of summer or in the fall of 2024. It will continue to look into the secrets and tales of the Yellowjackets’ ordeal in the woods and their lives now.
