After what appears like an eternity of hunkering down within the snow and ready for Yellowjackets Season 3 updates, Showtime lastly unveiled its launch date, confirming that we’re merely months away from catching up with each timelines of feminine survivors. (In addition to the funeral for fan-favorite Natalie, who didn’t survive the hectic finale.) Certainly one of my largest questions throughout this lengthy hiatus has revolved across the long-rumored bonus episode, and we lastly obtained an replace from the co-creators.
Not that it was essentially the most clear-cut and constructive replace. However at the very least it was one thing, contemplating the bonus episode has been teased for round 18 months at this level with out a lot for followers to latch onto. So let’s dig into that in addition to what the co-showrunners teased for Season 3’s give attention to cannibalism.
Is Yellowjackets’ Bonus Episode Nonetheless Occurring?
Showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson spoke to EW whereas additionally revealing first seems on the majority of the principle characters, giving followers fairly a bit to mull over. That stated, the pictures aren’t SO juicy that they’d make anybody overlook concerning the further installment that was rumored to function the confirmed Jason Ritter look that did not find yourself in any of the Season 2 episodes.
When requested if it is nonetheless occurring, Lyle answered with this fittingly cryptic response:
The reality is that there’s a bonus episode however we may have to attend a bit longer for it.
What the what? What does that even imply? Is one thing proven within the bonus ep that may spoil one thing that performs out later in Season 3? Presumably not, since that may contain horrible planning.
Season 3’s huge delay was a results of the 2023 Hollywood strikes, but it surely would not seem to be these can nonetheless be pointed to as a cause why the bonus ep is not completed sufficient to air but. So what is the deal right here? I am clearly glad to know it is ultimately coming, however would like to know what’s holding it from our TVs at the moment.
At Least Yellowjackets Followers Can Look Ahead To Extra Cannibalism Nastiness
Lyle and Nickerson clearly aren’t providing up any hardcore spoilers for the place issues are and are not stepping into Season 3, however did supply some tangible teases for the time jumps that may go down, saying that most of the issues and resentments arrange in Season 2 are expanded upon and explored within the third batch of episodes. One other factor that apparently will get ramped up? Individuals consuming different individuals.
Talking to that notably gnarly flip of occasions that stems from being foodless within the wilderness, Ashley Lyle stated:
Positively buckle up this season. The cannibalism cat is out of the bag.
We presumably will not get very far into Season 3 earlier than the survivors select their subsequent meal, whether or not it’s by choosing one other survivor as tje sufferer, or by somebody ultimately discovering Crystal’s physique. (I’ll go bananas if Crystal really survived that fall and is ready on the market to get revenge.)
After chowing down on Javi within the Season 2 finale, the group (sans Ben) will presumably have extra of a style for that type of meat, and will not need to wait as lengthy earlier than the subsequent huge cook dinner. This is hoping they discover extra moose and bears wandering round earlier than it involves that. Or not.
