Fans now know exactly what the Yellowjackets Season 3 release schedule looks like.
Showtime's hit thriller returns from a nearly two-year hiatus between seasons, picking up where Season 2 left off.

What Will Happen in Yellowjackets Season 3
So far in its run, Yellowjackets has not shied away from tackling the dramatic.
Since its debut, the TV drama has included shocking twists in its story. Some of these have been the central team's plane going down and the likes of Ella Purnell's Jackie tragically dying as the group slowly realizes the gravity of their situation.
Coming into Season 3 fans should not expect the series to slow this jaw-dropping roll in any way. Season 2 ended with the tragic death of Natalie and Misty in its present-day adult timeline, adding even more drama to that side of the story.
This was paired with further teases that their younger selves are perhaps being stalked by some sort of supernatural presence in the Canadian wilderness.
And with the dramatic turn of fate that saw the team's cabin (aka their only form of refuge they had in the woods) burn to the ground, now is likely the time when that Lord of the Flies-esque sheer brutality of human nature will begin to show itself even more.
Not to say that the gravity of being stuck in the wild has not driven the girls mad to this point. How could it not, especially when they have had to watch friends like Jane Widdop's Laura Lee die right in front of them?
However, things will likely go from bad to worse as the team's hope of escape begins to dwindle even further.
Yellowjackets Season 3 is set to debut on Paramount+ on Friday, February 14.
