‘Yellowjackets’ Creators Confirm Another Living Character

‘Yellowjackets’ is based on the Donner Party and the Andes Flight Disaster

Two true stories inspired the Yellowjackets original series on Showtime. In the 1846-1847 Donner Party and the 1972 Andes flight disaster, both groups resorted to cannibalism to survive. Screenwriter Ashley Lyle created Yellowjackets with her husband, Bart Nickerson, “as a metaphor for teenage hierarchy.” 

Nickerson told Deadline that they pitched the idea nearly 500 times to various networks and streaming giants. The plan is to write a five-season series. Showtime renewed Yellowjackets for season 2 on Dec. 16, 2021. There’s no release date available yet for season 2. However, Lyle teased that the next season will dive more into the cult.

“We are very much interested in exploring the theme and concept of belief and what that means for us in terms of our worldview — the way that we interact with the world around us, the way that we interact with other people, and forge those relationships,” Lyle told Entertainment Weekly.
