The Yellowjackets are back – filming has officially started on season 2, according to the show’s Twitter account. The tweet, which had a photo of a clapperboard attached, also revealed that the first episode of season 2 will be directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer.
The series deals with dual timelines – in 1996, a high school girls’ soccer team is on their way from New Jersey to the national competition in Seattle when their flight crashes in the Canadian wilderness. Meanwhile, in 2021, the survivors are in their 40s and trying to live normal lives, to varying degrees of success, while the terrible events of 25 years ago continue to haunt them.
