Yellowjackets

The Ladies of the Flies.

In 1996, a girls high school soccer team crash-lands in the Canadian wilderness while flying from New Jersey to a national tournament in Seattle. Yellowjackets follows the survivors across two timelines, documenting their attempts to stay alive in the woods for 19 months and exploring what their lives are like in the present-day. But, don’t think that you know how this story ends just because the latter timeline reveals they made it… or some of them, at least.

Yellowjackets, a breakout hit for Showtime, stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, Lauren Ambrose, and Simone Kessell as the adult members of the team, with Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Sammi Hanratty, Liv Hewson, and Courtney Eaton playing the teen versions.
