Just finished it. So many thoughts!
However disappointed to read that they are planning five seasons. Would love it if it had all been tied up in this one or just one more was promised.
I find with some American shows, they start off really well with lots of mystery and intriguing things that you hope are later explained.. and then it fizzles out and Iām out by the second series.
Donāt see much point in speculating for the next series when if itās being spun out for five whatās going to happen of note in the next two?
Am I being too pessimistic? Still burned by Lost

started reading your post and thought of Lost straight away!
Which I never bothered with after first season I think as it dragged out and got boring
Iām on episode 7 of Yellowjackets, loving it so far but yes agree seems like 5 seasons it might lose its way? I dunno I hope Iām wrong, plus I hate now that it means waiting months/years for next few series!

Ugh yeah. Will be years. And Iāll be long out by the end. I want to know who the girl was running though the snow at the beginning? And was she eaten? Whatās the heart necklace all about? Not here for a long dragged out show full of red herrings and plot holes.
Iām just rewatching the first one as I wanted to see the ācannibalā scenes again. It looks like in some of the photos at Shaunaās house there are two girls/daughters in some of their photos. Maybe the baby did survive??

Great article about the soundtrack - how it all comes together and what they have planned for the music in season two.

How 'Yellowjackets' Ended Up with Some of the Best Music on TV
The show's music supervisors on '90s nostalgia, deep cuts, and the song they had to have for the finale.

And a great character study of Misty/Ricci in The Cut:
āMisty, and Ricciās portrayal of her, is uniquely chilling. Ricci dominated the ā90s with a dry, brutal wit and darkness, as exemplified in a more PG way by her turn as Wednesday Addams. As an adult actor, she gravitated toward darker, more difficult characters like those in Buffalo ā66, Prozac Nation, and Black Snake Moan. Yellowjackets, then, seems built for the intersection of her skills, graduating her to an expressive, terrifying performance that defies easy tropes. Mistyās fear factor, and Ricciās skill in playing someone so complicated, is part of what makes the show so compelling.ā

Just finished watching this last night and WOW!
Quoted the above post because Iāve got to say that Iām utterly obsessed with Misty. Christina Ricci pitches her performance perfectly

I just read that Yellowjackets will no longer air on Sky Atlantic as it has moved to Paramount+ for season 2

You can get a weeks free trial, I did it to binge series 1 but kept it as that was only last month and i got hooked. You'd have to time it to when they'd all be on

Yup. It's a bummer. I'm getting so tired of these new streaming services etc. popping up all over the place. However, I guess there are other ways to watch these shows...
Sky had an exclusive deal with Showtime for a number of years, but I guess that's come to an end. I wonder how many more shows they will lose? Their current deal with HBO expires in 2025. If they lose all their HBO shows they may as well scrap Sky Atlantic!

Episode 1 has dropped. Iām going inā¦
Update: Itās good. However definitely giving Lost vibes. Sprawling narrative threads, clues that may be either crucial or meaningless, and the overall feeling that the writers are making it up as they go along. Such a shame. I wish it had been kept tight and capped at two or three seasons.

I think the writers said they had a full five (?? I think) season arc written out. I know it wonāt be until the very end but Iām excited to see them get rescued and go back in to society

Theyāre other team members. Basically they were background characters in season 1 but have been given a bigger role this season.
