The cast of the hit psychological-drama Yellowjackets reunited last night for the season 2 premiere in Hollywood, looking fabulous out of their soccer uniforms (and terrifying animal costumes).

Both the adult characters and their teen counterparts stepped out in style to walk the red carpet. Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse star as adult and teen Shauna respectively, while Juliette Lewis and Sophie Thatcher portray Natalie, Tawney Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown play Taissa, Christina Ricci and Samantha Hanratty appear as Misty, Lauren Ambrose and Liv Hewson star as Van, Simone Kessell and Courtney Eaton play Lottie and Ella Purnell portrays Jackie.

The show follows a team of talented high school soccer players who survive a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness and are forced to do whatever it takes to make it out alive. 25 years later, their adult counterparts are forced to deal with the far-reaching consequences of their ordeal and trauma.

The highly anticipated season 2 was green-lit in December 2021. The creators of Yellowjackets, Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, told Variety in May, “We’ve been calling season 2, ‘The Winter of Their Discontent,’” referencing the John Steinbeck book and line from William Shakespeare’s Richard III.

To jog your memory, the Showtime thriller left off as the team faced a harsh winter. They discovered that their bubbly friend and soccer team captain, Jackie (Purnell) froze to death after having an argument with Shauna (Nélisse). In the very last scene of season 1, present day Natalie (Lewis) gets abducted by some sort of cult group that was connected to Lottie Mathews (Eaton and Kessell).

Something spooky also went down in the woods when Lottie, Van (played by Liv Hewson) and a young Misty (played by Samantha Hanratty) offer up the bear heart to the woods as a sacrifice.

While Lyle and Nickerson are still finalizing the details of season 2, Lye told Entertainment Weekly that we can expect to see a lot of adult Lottie this season and get more insight into the cult aspect of the show.

Yellowjackets season 2 will be available to stream on Showtime on March 24.
