Created and executive produced by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (Narcos), the one-hour drama series stars Melanie Lynskey (Castle Rock), Oscar(R) and Emmy(R) nominee Juliette Lewis (Camping), Emmy nominee Christina Ricci (Z: The Beginning of Everything) and Tawny Cypress (Unforgettable). Jonathan Lisco (Animal Kingdom, Halt, and Catch Fire) joins Lyle and Nickerson as executive producer and showrunning partner. Produced for SHOWTIME by studio Entertainment One (eOne), Karyn Kusama (Destroyer, Girlfight) executive produces and directed the pilot. Drew Comins of Creative Engine also serves as executive producer. The premiere of YELLOWJACKETS has been seen by over 4 million viewers across platforms to date. Season one of YELLOWJACKETS, which received a Critics&#8217; Choice nomination for &#8216;Best Drama Series,&#8217; is currently airing Sunday nights @ 10PM ET\/PT and will finale on Sunday, January 16. The announcement was made today by Gary Levine and Jana Winograde, Presidents of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;YELLOWJACKETS has been an unadulterated sensation for SHOWTIME,&#8221; said Levine. &#8220;We are overwhelmed by both the acclaim and the audience response to our series, including several &#8216;Best of 2021&#8217; lists, a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and snowballing viewership. Clearly there is a hunger for originality and audacity, and our incredible showrunners Ashley, Bart, and Jonathan, along with their pitch-perfect cast, have delivered that and so much more. I can&#8217;t wait to see the surprises they have in store for us in season two.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-2192497869\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;We are beyond grateful for the incredible support we&#8217;ve received for this show &#8211; both from Gary Levine, Jana Winograde, David Nevins, Amy Israel, Dave Binegar, and the rest of the fantastic Showtime team, and from our growing team of &#8220;Citizen Detectives&#8221; at home,&#8221; said Lyle, Nickerson, and Lisco. &#8220;We can&#8217;t wait to continue telling this story with our amazing cast and crew. The saga continues!&#8221; Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, YELLOWJACKETS is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they&#8217;ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over. Season one also stars Ella Purnell (Sweetbitter), Samantha Hanratty (SHAMELESS), Sophie Thatcher (Prospect), Jasmin Savoy Brown (The Leftovers), Sophie N\u00e9lisse (The Book Thief), Steven Krueger (The Originals), and Warren Kole (Shades of Blue).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SHOWTIME has renewed the critically acclaimed survival drama YELLOWJACKETS for a second season.
