“Yellowjackets”
Having made quite the splash in its first season, the second season of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” is one of this year’s most anticipated returns. The show continues to follow a group of high school girl soccer players who, after a plane crash leaves them stranded in a remote northern wilderness, descend into the carnage to survive. Throughout this, we also flash 25 years into the future to watch as those who survived carry their past with them. Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, and Juliette Lewis return as the main cast along with newcomers Elijah Wood and Lauren Ambrose joining the cast.
Release Date: Season 2 premieres March 26 on Showtime.
