Let's buzz into everything we know about Yellowjackets Season 4 on ‪Paramount+‬ (premium). From the premiere date to the teaser, casting news, and predictions, lots to talk about. Be sure to subscribe for weekly videos when the final season drops, and all of the news leading up to it. Here’s a logline for the final season, courtesy of Paramount+: In Yellowjackets Season 4, the survivors race to bury their sins before rescue arrives. An old flame roars back into town with plans of her own. Not every homecoming is joyous, and this one is going to sting.Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, 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. Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’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.Plus, I'm also covering #Silo, #Furious, #TheShards, #ParisisAlwaysaGoodIdea, and coming up #DexterResurrection and #MaxtonHall. Stick with me for all of the tv worth talking about.
