What day is Yellowjackets on?
The second outing welcomes some new cast members including Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood as Walter, a citizen detective.
Nicola Maines also joins as Lisa, a follower of Lottie Matthews who has experienced trauma.
The episodes will continue to air weekly on Paramount+ on Fridays and Showtime on Sundays at 9pm ET.
Some of the upcoming episode titles have been announced and the schedule so far is as follows:
The official episode count is yet to be announced but season one consisted of 10 episodes.
The synopsis for the second episode has been released and it reads: “The Yellowjackets barely made it through summer in the woods, but now as winter begins to bite, we’ll see if hunger and desperation turn into full-on psychosis.
“While there may or may not be a dark and powerful force inhabiting the wilderness, their survival could depend upon what they choose to believe.
“Meanwhile, twenty-five years later, each survivor must ask themselves – Is the darkness coming for them, or is it coming from them?”
“And ultimately, to create a cohesive narrative with Ashely and Bart and our team of writers, we really need to cut out the noise sometimes and make sure that we know what we want to do.
“Because, let’s not forget, that is allegedly what our audience responded to in season one. It was us trusting our impulses.
“And while sometimes we’ll read something that’s a great idea, it may also not fit the tapestry of what we’re doing. So we have to be very careful, I think. Cautious is what I really mean.”
The bosses said there was still a “five-season plan” in mind, with the stars gearing up for the writers’ room for season three.
