What is Season 1 about?
Yellowjackets Season 1 introduces us to a 1990s New Jersey girls’ high-school soccer team that’s bound for a national-championship tournament – that is, until their Seattle-bound plane crashes in the middle of nowhere. At first, the teens’ hunting, foraging, and – yes – cooperation skills serve them well enough. But when the weather worsens and help appears no closer to arriving, the tight-knit teammates begin to turn on one another.
Fast-forward to the present day, and we see only a few of the original Yellowjackets have lived into adulthood – each one of them struggling to keep buried their traumas, resentments, and misdeeds.

What is Season 2 about?
Yellowjackets Season 2 finds the teenagers struggling to endure the freezing winter months. Undernourished and desperate to maintain hope, some of the girls find comfort in their own hallucinations, while others look for guidance in the spiritual visions of another – a team member who seems to commune with the woods in a way the rest of the survivors cannot. As the Yellowjackets’ beliefs in the forest’s power diverge, and their collective hunger mounts, the things they’re willing to do to quell the growl in their bellies become more and more feral …
During the present day, six adult Yellowjackets reunite to figure out who’s out to expose their secrets. In getting back together, the crew discovers that the wilderness isn’t done with them, and that it may, in fact, require another sacrifice.

What is Season 3 about?
Spring arrives. And while the season signifies renewal, the Yellowjackets’ grievances toward one another just keep piling up, and it’s not long before more blood splatters on the forest floor. This time, however, the spirit of the wilderness may not be the only entity that hears the commotion …
In the present, the former soccer stars work to keep their lives from unraveling, each facing an troubling question: Is it a vague woodland force from their past that poses the bigger threat to them, or their fellow Yellowjackets?
