Do you hear the wilderness? It hears you…
After almost two full years off the air, Yellowjackets is about to return on Valentine’s Day. The gory, creepy Showtime drama has a knack for leaving viewers in suspense — and for throwing in twists after they’re least anticipated.
One of many greatest twists the present nonetheless has up its sleeve? The identities of who, precisely, was rescued from years of near-death experiences (and cannibalism). We all know the principle characters within the current timeline made it, clearly, however the present hasn’t revealed the id of the final fur-covered survivor on the cannibalistic ritual within the woods. We assume there is perhaps at the least yet one more Yellowjacket on the market, and so they may return to hang-out Misty (Christina Ricci), Tai (Tawny Cypress), Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), Lottie (Simone Kessell) and Van (Lauren Ambrose). Right here’s who we predict might need been seated at that eerie woodland ceremony — and on the rescue flight.
Mari
If Yellowjackets determined to maintain a significant character from the primary seasons round within the current timeline, it may deliver Mari (Alexa Barajas) again. She’s not precisely a fan-favorite primarily based on her snide angle and her penchant for inflicting drama among the many survivors, however that’s exactly why she is perhaps an attention-grabbing inclusion within the present timeline. Has she modified? What if she hasn’t?
In fact, it should even be talked about that many fan theories revolve round Mari being “pit lady” — the poor, doomed lady we see impaled on spikes and eaten in the course of the present’s opening minutes. There’s a resemblance… however one other survivor, Gen (Mya Lowe), additionally seems like “pit lady.” Mari may find yourself rescued if Gen finally ends up on the pikes.
Akilah
The most important issue working towards Akilah’s (Nia Sondaya) survival is her form, mild coronary heart. It is a lady who absolutely thought she was serving to a mouse survive by concealing it from the others and feeding it within the cabin, till — shock! — it turned out she’d been hallucinating the entire time, and he or she’d truly been carrying round a mouse’s corpse. Whoops. She’s at present alive up to now timeline, though we’ve now reached the purpose the place it appears “hunts” will probably be going down in earnest, and Akilah may very well be an early sufferer of that system. It could be similar to Yellowjackets to get us emotionally invested in a seemingly good character solely to kill her off in brutal style…
Coach Ben
With one leg and now having made enemies of the ladies he as soon as coached by burning down the cabin, it’s troublesome to see how Ben (Steven Krueger) may’ve made it out alive. We don’t but know whether or not he was on the rescue flight, and we do know there’s one extra survivor pictured within the council in the course of the pit scene who hasn’t but been revealed. This particular person can’t be Ben. Nonetheless, that doesn’t imply he died for positive — and the present-day timeline would get an entire lot extra attention-grabbing if he’d caught round, both as a survivor from the aircraft or within the Canadian wilderness, since he’d struck out on his personal on the finish of Season 2.
