Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime, has confirmed that a Season 4 of Yellowjackets has been ordered.

Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of talented high school girls’ soccer players who become the survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles their descent from a complicated yet thriving team to savage clans while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later. It proves that the past is never really the past and what began in the wilderness is far from over.

Season 3 was the most-watched season yet, with the April finale becoming the most-streamed Yellowjackets episode on Paramount+ in series history. On social, season three stands as the most engaged season ever for the show.

“Yellowjackets has become a cultural juggernaut; with season 3 shattering all previous records, we are thrilled to announce its renewal for a season four on Paramount+,” said McCarthy. “Ashley and Bart have masterfully crafted an utterly singular, genre-defying phenomenon: a perfect alchemy of psychological horror, survival thriller and coming-of-age drama that continues to captivate audiences worldwide, brought to life by our extraordinarily talented and beloved cast.”

Yellowjackets season 3 stars Emmy nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Melanie Lynskey, Emmy nominee Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Emmy nominee Lauren Ambrose, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins and Simone Kessell, with Elijah Wood in a recurring role. Two-time Academy Award-winning actress Hilary Swank guest stars along with Joel McHale and Ashley Sutton.

Yellowjackets season 3 is executive produced by Lyle, Nickerson and fellow showrunner Jonathan Lisco. Drew Comins of Creative Engine also serves as executive producer along with Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon. The series is produced for Showtime by Lionsgate Television and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

All previous seasons of Yellowjackets are available to watch now on streaming and on demand on Paramount+.
