There are few shows in recent memory that have managed to combine survival drama with thrilling mystery as wellYellowjacketshas managed to. The fan-favorite series is set to return soon for a second season and the anticipation to see the stories unfold is running high. The drama tells the tale of a New Jersey high school girls' soccer team who, while traveling for a tournament, get stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash in 1996. The team members are stranded for nineteen months in the wilderness, and the series showcases the trauma they endured as they attempt to stay alive while also tracking their current lives in the present day.
Entertainment Weeklyhas released new images from the upcoming season that point towards a deepening mystery. In the first image, we see the teenage gang standing outside the cabin seemingly comprehending another unspoken bout of their own horrifying deeds. Another image sees Natalie and Travis looking at something or someone in suspicion, while one image sees Van and Taissa holding hands probably consoling each other. Another image sees Lottie, Shauna, and Taissa in tears looking at someone outside the cabin. The images for adult versions of Lottie, Misty, and Shauna also see the women in distressing situations.

Though past trauma is not the only thing the adults are dealing with as by the end of Season 1 we see Misty and Shauna have both committed murders while Taissa’s wife has discovered the secret altar. Lisco elaborates that along with the pain and guilt, in the coming season:
“Whether they’re ready to admit it, is the fact that they never felt, in some ways, more alive than when they were in the wilderness. Maybe they went crazy, but it was also a world free of the stereotypes and expectations that society had thrust upon them, specifically as young women. There was a freedom in that kind of madness. So they want to get in touch with their primordial selves."
