Thanks to Netflix, a whole new set of streamers have joined the Yellowjackets hive. The first season of Paramount+ on Showtime’s immensely popular mystery drama recently dropped on the platform, and fans are predictably obsessed.
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, the buzzy series originally debuted on Showtime in November 2021 and became an instant hit. Starring Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Tawny Cypress, and Lauren Ambrose, the nine-episode second season premiered in March 2023, with a third installment on the way.
Yellowjackets centers on the aftermath of a plane crash involving a high school girls’ soccer team. The twisty thriller toggles between the immediate aftermath of the crash and the present day as the survivors cope with the fallout from the accident and try to answer a medley of mysterious questions.
Fans who’ve already devoured the first ten episodes of Yellowjackets are left with one pressing question: How can we watch Season 2!? Decider’s got you covered. Here’s where to stream the second season of Yellowjackets.
Yes! The first season of Yellowjackets is now streaming on Netflix.
Unfortunately, we have no idea. It would make sense for the second season to drop on Netflix before the third season premieres on Paramount+ with Showtime, but the Season 2 Netflix release strategy remains a mystery.
Your best option is Paramount+ with Showtime, which currently offers both seasons of Yellowjackets and will have the third season when it premieres in 2025. Available for $12.99/month or $119.99/year, Paramount+ with Showtime is ad-free and includes a CBS live stream. You can also purchase Paramount+ with Showtime on Amazon.
Finally, Yellowjackets episodes are available for purchase on Roku and Amazon.
You bet. Paramount+ with Showtime offers a seven-day free trial. You can also sample Paramount+ on Amazon, with Prime Video also providing a free trial.
Yes! The series was renewed for a third season all the way back in December 2022. No official release date has been announced, but we expect Yellowjackets Season 3 to premiere in the winter of 2025.
And guess who’s joining the five for the third season? Hilary Swank! The series has added the Oscar-winner as a recurring guest star for an exciting mystery role.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Yellowjackets are now streaming on Paramount+.
