Yellowjackets Season 4 returns to Paramount+ (premium) on November 20. In today's video, we'll dive into the Entertainment Weekly promotional first look photos (photo credits to EW, I do not own them), casting news, episode titles, possibilities for Akilah's arc, and so much more! 18:43: EW First Look Photos

Teaser Analysis: https://youtu.be/lTf0MUrFq8E

New merch inspired by YellowjacketsHere’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.Stick with me for all of the TV worth talking about.
