Earlier in December, Showtime announced that the hit survival drama will kick off its anticipated second season on Sunday, March 26; subscribers will be able to stream the premiere two days early, on Friday, March 24.

The drama about a high school girls’ soccer team involved in a plane crash in the 1990s — starring Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci and Tawny Cypress — wrapped its first season in January 2021. The Season 1 finale revealed how team captain Jackie, played by Ella Purnell, died.

As previously reported, Season 2 cast additions include Six Feet Under‘s Lauren Ambrose (as the adult version of Liv Hewson’s Vanessa “Van” Palmer) Obi-Wan Kenobi‘s Simone Kessell (as the adult version of Courtney Eaton’s Lottie) and Lord of the Rings vet Elijah Wood (as a dedicated Citizen Detective who will give Ricci’s Misty quite the challenge).
