We\u2019ve all been anxiously waiting for the next season of YELLOWJACKETS, the tale of a high school girls soccer team who gets stranded in the wilderness. From there trying to survive, and, if taken at face value, encountering a mystical presence that will haunt their lives for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether or not there\u2019s been an actual mystical\/paranormal component to this story, or if it\u2019s more of a LORD OF THE FLIES scenario and using an unworldly presence to for the girls to make sense of their actions\u2026 well, I couldn\u2019t say. For myself, I\u2019ve been taking everything at face value and have been loving the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s that ride we\u2019re here to talk about. Sadly friends, even though we know a season 4 is coming for the show, it will sadly be its last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to creators and co-showrunners, Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, they\u2019ve always felt the show would let them know when to end the story:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it\u2019s our belief that our job \u2014 our responsibility \u2014 is to listen. Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we\u2019re so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life. Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery and meal \u2014 the Hive is nothing without you! We can\u2019t wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it\u2026delicious. All the best, A & B.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I\u2019m so glad they\u2019re listening. I mean the last time I was this invested in the characters of a show, as well the mysteries of their world, has to be LOST. The show started great, between the smoke monster, hatches, the Hanzo Foundation viral site, the Darma Initiative bunkers all over the island\u2026 there just seemed to be this great, overarching, retro sci-fi story told in the present day.  But then just when off the rails. Ultimately, if memory serves, ending up in Purgatory, before moving on. Despite, after J.J. Abrams left the show, showrunners, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cruze, insisted the passengers weren\u2019t dead this whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, when it comes to YELLOWJACKETS, with last season\u2019s finale\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026over the course of season 3, Shauna clearly was getting more and more unhinged, as the wilderness wouldn\u2019t stop haunting them, and the remaining, present day Yellowjackets, went to go solve this mystery. But Shauna getting more psycho, losing her daughter and husband, goes rogue from the group, and shit definitely hit the fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season ending with the remaining Yellowjackets, in present day, realizing Shauna has gone off the rails, and they vow to stop her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this being YELLOWJACKETS, this clearly isn\u2019t going to be by legal means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way season 3 ended, the showrunners are right in that it definitely feels like the series is coming to its final arch. It really feels like one more season, that being season 4, is what the series needs to end naturally, and on a narrative high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anymore than that, the show might jump the shark and end up in purgatory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
