Actress Christina Ricci hinted at an explosive ending for the show, promising her character, Misty, will have a dramatic final scene.
Christina Ricci recently posted a photo on Instagram that looks like it was taken on the set of Yellowjackets. She’s in costume as her character, Misty, with fake blood all over her face. While it’s not clear where the blood came from, Ricci captioned the picture, “Went out with a bang.” She added that the last two seasons playing Misty have been incredible and hinted that the final season will be wild.
The Success of Showtime’s Yellowjackets Cemented Its Place as a Modern Television Classic
Yellowjackets is a mystery television show that first aired on Showtime in 2021. Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson – who also work as showrunners with Jonathan Lisco – the series tells the story of a high school girls’ soccer team called the Yellowjackets. They survive a plane crash and are stranded for almost two years, leading to a captivating and unique mystery.
The show Yellowjackets tells two stories: what happened to a group of girls stranded in the wilderness – where they resorted to cannibalism – and their lives as adults over twenty years later. The cast includes Christina Ricci as the older version of Misty Quigly, with Samantha Hanratty playing the younger Misty.
Since it first aired, Yellowjackets has received a lot of praise. Currently, the show has a 92% ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has won over a dozen awards, including the 2024 Satellite Award for Best Genre Series, ahead of its fourth season.
What Can Fans Expect from Yellowjackets Season 4?
In October 2025, the creators of Yellowjackets announced that the fourth season will be the show’s last. Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson shared a statement saying they’ve decided to end the story after three seasons, bringing the twisted tale to a conclusion.
Sharing this emotional, exciting, and very human story has been a deeply rewarding experience for us, and we feel honored to have done so. We are incredibly thankful for our talented cast, crew, and writers who joined us on this journey to make it all happen. We’re eager to share the final part with you and hope you enjoy it immensely.
Although some viewers were surprised, Yellowjackets was already heading towards the conclusion of its dual-timeline storytelling. While not all characters’ futures are guaranteed as we move into Season 4, we do know a few who will be present until the very end.
Season 4 of Yellowjackets will not only wrap up the storylines of its current characters but also introduce at least one new character. Reports surfaced in February that a Hollywood legend will be joining the cast, though details about her role are being kept secret for now.
As a critic, I’m happy to report you can catch up with the gripping series Yellowjackets right now on Paramount+ and Crave. And good news for fans – we’re expecting Season 4 to land on Paramount+ with Showtime later this year!
