Showtime have renewed their hit TV show Yellowjackets for a fourth and potentially penultimate season.
The renewal had not really been in doubt, with the show's third season debuting with significantly higher ratings on Showtime than the second and picking up a lot of streams via its international distribution on Paramount+ (including setting record viewership for its finale). However, the third season had been renewed ahead of the second, whilst this time around Showtime made fans wait until six weeks after the third season had wrapped up.
The show has a planned five-year story arc, but Showtime declined to renew the show for its final two seasons in one go, suggesting they still want to see how Season 4 does in viewership before ordering the finale.
The show tells a story divided into two time periods. In 1996 a high school soccer team are marooned in a remote part of Canada by a freak plane crash, and have to survive in the wilderness for almost two years before they are rescued. Twenty-five years later, the few now-adult survivors are trying to get on with their lives and forget the trauma they experienced, but the past has a nasty way of constantly coming back into their lives.
The show stars Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Warren Kole, Sarah Desjardins, Elijah Wood and Hilary Swank. Season 4 is expected to go into production later this year for a potential late 2026 debut.
