Yellowjackets Buzzing to a Dramatic Conclusion in Final Season

Yellowjackets, the critically acclaimed Showtime series, is set to conclude its captivating story with a fourth and final season. The announcement, made by the show's creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, comes after three successful seasons.

Reportedly inspired by the strong conclusion of Succession, the duo has decided to bring Yellowjackets to a proper ending. The writers' room for the final season is now open, with production slated to begin in 2026 for a debut on Paramount+ with Showtime later that year.

Lyle and Nickerson, who will continue to serve as executive producers and showrunners, have expressed their gratitude to the brilliant cast, crew, and writers who have brought the "emotional, wild, and deeply human story" to life. They have also thanked the dedicated fans, the "Hive," for their unwavering support throughout the series' journey.

The announcement of Yellowjackets' conclusion comes as Showtime undergoes a regime change following Paramount Global's acquisition by Skydance. Both Yellowjackets and The Chi, another long-running Showtime series, have been renewed for their final seasons after reportedly achieving series-high viewership in their most recent installments.
