Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis has finally addressed her surprise exit from Yellowjackets after two seasons. Lewis had portrayed the role of adult Natalie Scatorccio in the acclaimed Showtime series.
During a recent interview with Variety, Lewis opened up about her fan-favorite character’s shocking death during the Yellowjackets Season 2 finale, which saw Christina Ricci’s Misty accidentally killing Natalie with a lethal injection. Lewis shared that she kind of already knew that her character wouldn’t go beyond two seasons. Despite this, she expressed her excitement about what they got in store for Yellowjackets Season 3. "I very much knew. I think I’m good for a series for two seasons. It’s a different kind of work. So what do I want to say? I can’t wait to see the third season. I think the writing team is so phenomenal. They had many storylines that were always to be realized, and so that’s what they’re doing."

Every Yellowjackets Character We Know Survives (So Far)
Whether it's Christina Ricci's Misty or Melanie Lynskey's Shauna, some Yellowjackets characters definitely survive the flashbacks.

Lewis continued, "For me, there’s so much in our industry with series that’s exciting, but in my creative DNA, I like moviemaking. It’s something I thoroughly understand with a single director, a finite period of time and knowing beginning, middle and an end. And I really relish those confines." After her exit from Yellowjackets, she is currently starring with Peter Dinklage in the Western movie The Thicket, which is now available in theaters. Lewis is also attached to star in two thriller movies, including: Lips Like Sugar, which will reunite her with Natural Born Killers co-star Woody Harrelson; and DreamQuil with John C. Reilly and Elizabeth Banks.
Yellowjackets Season 3 Still in Production
The cast and crew of Yellowjackets are still currently in production in Vancouver for the survival thriller’s third installment. The series is expected to make its return sometime in 2025, after Season 3 filming was delayed by 2023’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. The ensemble cast will still be led by Melanie Lynskey as adult Shauna, Tawny Cypress as adult Taissa, Ricci as adult Misty, Lauren Ambrose as adult Van, Simone Kesell as adult Lottie, Sophie Nélisse as teen Shauna, Jasmin Savoy Brown as teen Taissa, Samantha Hanratty as teen Misty, Sophie Thatcher as teen Nat, Liv Hewson as teen Van, and Courtney Eaton as teen Lottie. Last month, it was revealed that Community star Joel McHale had joined the Season 3 cast for a guest-starring role. At the moment, details about his mystery character remain under wraps.

10 Yellowjackets Theories That Actually Make Sense, According To Reddit
From the identity of the Antler Queen to the mysterious symbol's meaning, Reddit is full of plausible Yellowjackets theories.
Part survival epic, part psychological horror and part coming-of-age drama, Yellowjackets is created and executive produced by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson. In a previous interview, Lyle teased what fans can expect from the next season after Season 2’s chaotic season finale. She revealed that the titular girls soccer team will continue to thrive in Season 3, despite the challenges and harsh conditions. "The girls have been out there for a while – and they’re thriving," she shared. "We’re in the midst of [writing] right now. I don’t want to give too much away. I always get in trouble. I will say we see Season 3 as a little bit of a return to Season 1 in terms of the vibe, though. All I will say is that the girls have been out there for a while, and they’re thriving."
Yellowjackets Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Paramount+.
