Yellowjacketscreator Ashley Lyle has promised season 3 will finally answer major series questions, indicating tense terror in the upcoming episodes.Yellowjacketsseason 2 endedwith major events, as Natalie (Juliette Lewis) is accidentally killed in the present day, while, in the past, the cabin is lit on fire, forcing the team to brave the cold without shelter. These major cliffhangers entertain the idea of a darker season 3, especially because there are still plenty of questions about the group’s time in the woods that haven’t been answered yet.
Speaking withVanity Fair, Lyle promised some key answers will happen inYellowjacketsseason 3, including what happened in the past that they’re afraid will be publicized. This will include high stakes in the present, “perhaps in a way that they did not feel in season two.“She specifically mentions that “two very big questions” will be answered, indicating a huge level of progress for the mystery as puzzle pieces finally start falling into place. Check out what Lyle had to say below:
We are going to learn more about what happened in the wilderness that they are so afraid of coming out. We hope it will be both satisfying and at times unexpected. And I think that we have found ourselves—let me think of how to say this. [Pause] The stakes are pretty high in the present-day storyline, perhaps in a way that they did not feel in season two, and that was really exciting for us to delve into.
There are at least two very big questions with very clear answers.
What Ashley Lyle’s Promise Means For Yellowjackets Season 3
Major Reveals Will Finally Come To Light
Yellowjacketsseason 3promising to have more answers makes sense, given the number of developments that happened at the end of season 2. This includes Javi (Luciano Leroux) being revealed as one of the first people stranded in the forest who was eaten, whileCoach Ben (Steven Krueger) has managed to find shelter elsewhere, potentially finding the young boy’s supposed friend in the woods who helped him. In the present day, the girls' story has seemingly come to a conclusion, with them going back to their lives, meaning whatever’s next will be an unsuspecting development.
Yellowjackets Timeline Explained: How Much Time Passes In The Show
Yellowjackets doesn’t state how long the girls have been stranded, but a few hints, such as Shauna’s pregnancy, help to form a more concrete timeline.
Since Lyle has teased that season 3 will feature whatever they don’t want people back home discovering,it’s clearly not just the cannibalism the girls have been engaging in since the start of season 2. Instead, it appears thecharacters inYellowjacketsare harboring a different secret, possibly tied to whatever darkness they found while out in the woods. While that secret involves one answer to the mysteries in the story, it seems another question will also be given definitive closure, even though it’s unclear for now what that will be.
Our Take On Yellowjackets Answering Questions In Season 3
It Makes Sense Given The Show’s Current Pace
Yellowjacketswas initially conceived to run through season 5, meaning the middle of season 3 will be around the show’s halfway point. Because of this, more questions are bound to be answered, including what the girls are so afraid of in the forest. Others could include who Javi’s friend that saved him is or what caused the girls to form a cult centered around Lottie. With the show now confirmed to be offering answers soon, it won’t be long until more gets revealed about what happened to the team in the woods.
Lyle also confirmed earlier this year that there will be a special episode airing betweenYellowjacketsseasons 2 and 3 at some point.
