Watch the First Trailer for 'Yellowjackets' Season 2 Now

Well, if there was going to be a modern day human sacrifice cult, it was always going to be based in New Jersey. The first season of Yellowjackets was an absolute thrill, but we have a lot of questions for the Showtime series' upcoming second season. Is Antler Queen Lottie alive and well, still sacrificing hearts along with her gray sweatsuit mafia? Does Misty have Munchausen syndrome by proxy, or is she just the most fiercely loyal friend in the world? Is Taissa still in the organization? (She did, uh, have her dog’s heart on an altar in a secret room in her house. But as we know, she very well may have done all that in her sleep.)

Thankfully, we will be getting answers to all these burning questions as Yellowjackets Season Two is set to debut on March 24, 2023. Showtime subscribers will have the two-day exclusive window for streaming and on demand, before it makes it way on-air on March 26, 2023. "Yellowjackets has been an unadulterated sensation for Showtime," the network’s entertainment president Gary Levine said when the series was renewed for a second season.

Finally, we have a new tease of what's to come. On Thursday morning, Showtime released the first official trailer for Season Two of Yellowjackets. In it, we see nearly every main player of this cursed soccer team, both as their younger and older selves. We also see a preview of some cult-like rituals out there in the wilderness, Melanie Lynskey's Shauna rather hilariously admitting that she's a murderer, and a glimpse of Elijah Wood's character, a citizen detective named Walter who appears to be working with Misty. Also? There's a lot of talk about Lottie. Pretty suspect if you ask us. Watch the trailer below.

"I do know that there will be some surprises in terms of the characters," Gary Levine told Deadline about the upcoming season. "There are still lots of questions about who survived, what happened out there. There will be some real surprises in terms of that and I think some characters you may not even have met yet." Earlier this summer, in an interview with The Wrap, the creators (and married couple) Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson revealed that filming for Season Two should wrap around mid-February 2023.

Aside from what we see in the new trailer, the creators have not revealed much about what's to come. "We, as a show, won’t tease the audience with things," Nickerson said. "I hate that as a viewer." They did, however, disclose that we will learn what happened to Shauna's baby, who exists in the show's 1996 timeline but seemingly not in present day. Also, that we will learn more about who the man who lived in the cabin was, and that "we have not met all the survivors" in the present day timeline yet.

A summer 2022 interview in The Hollywood Reporter featuring stars Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis, Melanie Lynskey, and Christina Ricci also seems to confirm the above. When asked about Season Two casting other surviving Yellowjackets, Lewis responds with: "Melanie, didn’t you say that on our chain, that someone we like is cast to be..." before trailing off. Could it be Adult Lottie, antlers and all? This past August, Showtime revealed to Deadline that indeed, Obi-Wan Kenobi's Simone Kassell had been cast as adult Lottie. As far as Adult Jackie goes, we can officially put that theory to rest, though the diary Shauna flipped through in her childhood bedroom with several references to post-1996 movies listed still poses questions. (The creators also revealed that we'll learn why those entries exist.)

While many of the actors have kept pretty mum about things, Steven Krueger, who plays Coach Ben, did open up to TV Insider about how Season Two is a "whole new ballgame." "We are going into the wintertime when the season ends with that first snowfall. This season will cover the winter months," he said. "It’s going to get dire out there with little food and the challenge of staying warm and alive. A good general overall birdseye view of the second season is it feels like producers loved we were the crazy show on TV and want to take that and double down. If you thought Season One was crazy, just buckle your seatbelts for Season 2. It doesn’t let up."

We'll update this post with any new intel as soon as we hear it. Until then, stay far away from any cigarettes from Misty.
