The ideal scenario for me is a nice early renewal for seasons 4 and 5, and just outright set the fifth as the final season. Back to back filming would also be perfect but I doubt that’ll happen. I think the series would benefit hugely from concrete knowledge that their five year plan is set in stone and they can just work towards that. By the sounds of things the present day storyline is set to be more pivotal this time around. I hope that’s true because the second season kind of stuck the adults in a weird limbo before they bothered to get them together (and they did that in a pretty clunky way, too).
Yellowjackets (Showtime)

Still my highlight of the last crappy season.
New teaser.

I got a sneak preview of a dozen or so potential posters for season 3 through my job, and it got me excited for the show to return despite season 2 being a big mess (especially towards the end). They finally leaned away from the yellow branding which is a nice change.

I have high hopes this season will be better than the last!
Yeah, that's a great trailer. Consider me cautiously optimistic about this season.
I really hope they can pull it together for this season, the last one was not it.
Nah it was filmed before the strike, but it was probably written on zoom during lockdown, compared to season 1 which was piloted/series outlined and then written/into production before COVID.
New character, who presumably always existed in the soft focus background of season 1 and 2 shots.
Melissa (blonde, cap) was cast last season, but definitely seems a bit more prominent in that trailer than she was before. They’ve also cast two more background characters, and recast another. I get why they couldn’t initially cast everyone, especially given the pandemic made the first season difficult to put together, but it is super confusing sometimes. A clear answer as to how many team members are left would be appreciated at this point, especially since fans have deduced that there’s still one more left unnamed dd.
Just finished a rewatch ahead of the S3 as realised I had no recollection of anything past the Jackie of it all. The second season, while not being able to quite recreate all of the magic of S1, wasn't as uneven (or bad) watching it all in one go. I think things got a bit rushed at the end (maybe because they somehow had to condense it into 9 eps instead of the original order of 10?) so the turn from tearfully drawing cards to balls out lets hunt Nat out in the woods still felt very quick. The performances were still great and the story mostly is still chugging along, you certainly can't say it's not getting to where it needs to go.
The most glaring thing for me is still Adult Tai being a senator elect at the beginning of the season and then it being entirely forgotten by the end of it. How the hell is she managing to go under the public radar between public spats with the wife, car accidents with the wife, hitchhiking in an 18-wheeler, going completely off the grid at a wellness/spiritual commune, going off on a hunt and then being at the scene of a death with lots of police and all the other yellowjackets - it's a plot point I feel like they regret, maybe it would have been better for her to lose at the beginning of it and that causing the spiral into all the insane decisions that followed. Sorry, a rant but I really couldn't stop thinking about it.

We know there are seven survivors taking the opening scene in season 1 as a reference, who's the other one? Someone who survived the plane crash AND the girls?
Regarding the new season, I want to see more of the young cast, the adults timeline was boring last season, also I want to know why are they hunting eachother during spring/summer, or maybe it is just the trailer playing with us.

Only watched the first of the two new episodes, but it did feel like a marked improvement over the sloppy and frankly, often boring second season. Consider me re-perched!
