Viewers wonder why only Season 1 of Yellowjackets is streaming on Netflix and when they can expect Season 2.

Yellowjackets is a Showtime series that follows a New Jersey high school girls' soccer team after their 1996 plane crash in the Canadian wilderness, where they struggle to survive for 19 months and resort to cannibalism. 

The series also explores the crash's lasting impact on the survivors' lives 25 years later in 2021. The show earned critical acclaim and several Emmy nominations.

Fans of Yellowjackets are eagerly awaiting the release of Season 2 on Netflix in the U.S., especially after Season 1 was added to the platform on October 1. 

However, as of writing, there has been no official announcement regarding when Season 2 will be available on Netflix for U.S. viewers. 

The recent addition of Season 1 is likely tied to building anticipation for the release of Season 3, which has been delayed to 2025 due to the strikes that impacted production last year.

Season 3 of Yellowjackets is set to premiere in 2025, and with a potential Season 4 release in 2026, it’s possible that Season 2 could make its way to Netflix sometime in late 2025. 

This would allow new viewers to catch up on the series before the highly anticipated fourth season, which would be crucial in continuing the momentum of the show’s fan base as it approaches its planned five-season arc.

For those who can’t wait for Netflix to release Season 2, there are other ways to watch. In the U.S., Season 2 is currently available for streaming on Paramount+, where fans can continue the intense and mysterious journey of the survivors stranded in the wilderness. 

Internationally, Yellowjackets Season 2 is already streaming on Netflix in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico, allowing U.S. viewers to use a VPN to access these episodes ahead of a domestic release.

As Yellowjackets gears up for the eventual launch of Season 3, the showrunners remain committed to their original five-season vision, with the story still on track for a satisfying conclusion. 

Fans can expect more shocking moments, unexpected twists, and deep character exploration as the series progresses, with the creators likely leaving some room for surprises along the way.
