The Showtime series wrapped Season 2 back in 2023, and fans are already eager to know more about the third season of the series, which was greenlit at the end of 2022.

Showrunner and co-creator Ashley Lyle confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that the plan is for the show to run for five seasons.

Everything to Know About “Yellowjackets ”Season 3

The third season of Yellowjackets will not be premiering until 2025, executive producers Ashley Lyle, Jonathan Lisco and Bart Nickerson told Deadline on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards in January.

Pre-production for the series was shut down just one day after the WGA strike began last May. The writers room for the show reopened in September 2023 after the Hollywood strikes ended.

Now, Paramount+ is teasing a first look at Season 3, which just began filming.

Yellowjackets Season 3 has officially started filming after the Hollywood strikes led to production delays.

The network revealed the first photos on social media, teasing what’s ahead with the caption, “We know you’re starving.”

Season 3 of the series will air in 2025. Showrunners Bart Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco are directing episode two episodes, with Bart taking on episode 301, and Jonathan directing episode 303, per Deadline.
