Season 3 of the series will air in 2025, as production on the psychological thriller was delayed due to the writers’ and actors’ strike.

Season 3 will see showrunners Bart Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco directing episode two episodes, with Nickerson taking on episode 301, and Lisco will be directing episode 303.

Pre-production for Season 3 of the drama was shut down a day after the WGA strike began in May 2023. Once the strike was over, the writers room for Yellowjackets reopened in September.

Yellowjackets follows a group of teenagers involved in a plane crash set in 1996 and the aftermath of the accident years later. The series premiered in 2021 and has been acclaimed, scoring seven Primetime Emmy Award nominations in its two seasons, including Outstanding Drama Series on Monday, when it lost out to HBO’s Succession.
