The stakes are rising in Yellowjackets season 2 as more mysteries are revealed through flashbacks and we confirm the release time and air date of season 2 on Showtime and Paramount Plus, discuss how many episodes are in this run, and introduce you to the cast this season.
Before season 2 debuts, fans are returning to the mystery surrounding Adam Martin’s back tattoo that has fuelled a few theories on his identity.
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, the American thriller and drama, Yellowjackets, was influenced by the real-life Donner Part and the Andes flight disaster of 1972, following a girl’s soccer team whose flight crashes in the Canadian wilderness, starring Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, Lauren Ambrose, and Simone Kessell.

Yellowjackets season 2 episode count
Uprozz recently reported that Yellowjackets season 2 would only have nine episodes, one installment shorter than its first season.
Despite a shorter sophomore run, the series has already been renewed for season 3 by Showtime, so fans don’t need to worry about getting shortchanged.
Our release schedule for the first five installments of season 2 also come with confirmed episode titles.
The official synopsis for season 2 is as follows:
“Two months have passed since Shauna gave Jackie the cold shoulder— to disastrous results. In the face of their deepening hunger and fear, the tension among our Yellowjackets has only grown worse. The harsh conditions of winter are intensifying by the day, and the psyches of our survivors are deteriorating just as fast. Threatened by the darkness of the wilderness — and the haunting memories of it in the present — our former state champs will be forced to make impossible decisions. As they confront the horrible truth of what survival entails, the real nightmare for each of them will be to figure out who they are — and what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive.”
