Yellowjackets season 2: Five-season plan still ‘on track’
We know that anytime that you have a lot of success, there is always going to be that temptation to keep things going for a long stretch of time. However, that doesn’t always mean that giving into that temptation is good. Succession is doing a brave thing ending with season 4, as they are getting out while they are still at a creative high. Based on what we’re hearing about Yellowjackets at the moment, the producers may be thinking with a similar wavelength in mind.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly as a part of a new cover story, co-creator Ashley Lyle had the following to say on where things stand at present:
“The original plan was about five seasons, and we feel like we’re still on track for that … [While] there’s always room for things, we don’t really see this as being more than a five-season show. I think that there are shows that can go forever, but I think that when you’re telling such a deeply serialized story and it’s about these characters’ lives, you want to reach a satisfying conclusion and not just drag things out forever. This isn’t really one of those setup shows where it can go anywhere. So far, we’ve been really on track. Season 2 is largely what we always planned, but you do make a lot of discoveries along the way and so it’s always a little bit surprising.”
Showtime has already renewed the series for a season 3, so you don’t have to worry about that. Provided that the ratings for season 2 are what we expect (huge), we don’t think it is going to be all that hard for them to get a season 4. Then, you have to give it a season 5 to complete the story, right?
Remember now that the Yellowjackets season 2 premiere is coming on Friday, March 24. We’re more than a little excited…

In the end, do you think that Yellowjackets is going to end up being a five-season story?
