Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” has officially submitted 18 actors for Emmys consideration, and as part of the show’s campaign, the network has released several FYC posters for each character.
Melanie Lynskey, who earned a nomination last year for playing Shauna, will be joined by Tawny Cypress (Taissa), Juliette Lewis (Natalie) and Sophie Nélisse, who plays the teen version of Shauna, in outstanding lead actress.

Christina Ricci (Misty), Samantha Hanratty (Teen Misty), Courtney Eaton (Teen Lottie), Jasmin Savoy Brown (Teen Taissa), Lauren Ambrose (Adult Van), Sophie Thatcher (Teen Nat) and Simone Kessell (Adult Lottie) are among those vying for outstanding supporting actress. Both Eaton and Kessell are among the AAPI contenders. Should Kessell be recognized for her portrayal of Adult Lottie, she would be the first Pacific Islander to receive a nod in that category. Meanwhile, Kevin Alves (Teen Travis), Steven Krueger (Coach Ben), Elijah Wood (Walter) and Warren Kole (Jeff) will all submit in for supporting actor.
As previously reported, nonbinary actor Liv Hewson, who plays Van Palmer on the hit drama, won’t be submitting for this year’s Emmy Awards despite being eligible in the main acting races. Hewson, 27, told Variety exclusively that they made the decision because of the Television Academy’s separation of acting categories into male and female. “There’s not a place for me in the acting categories,” Hewson said.
In the directing for a drama series race, Ben Semanoff will submit for “Edible Complex” (Episode 2), Liz Garbus for “Qui” (Episode 6), Anya Adams for “Burial” (Episode 7) and Karyn Kusama for the season finale, “Storytelling.” The show has also submitted the song “Sit Right Down” for original music and lyrics, by composers Craig Wedren and Anna Waronker.
