Check out the trailer for 'Yellowjackets' Season 1

The official trailer for Yellowjackets season 1 was released in August on Showtime's official YouTube channel. This was followed by another trailer that dropped last month.

The trailer takes viewers through past memories of the survivors, some 25 years later. A compilation of struggles faced by them and hearing the stories of their awful days in the wilderness.

According to co-creator Ashley Lyle,

"We knew we didn’t want this to be a show about what happened, but about why it happened, so we figured the best way to do that was to just play it all in the beginning. We wanted to strongly imply what happens so that the question is more how did they get from point A to point B?"

Described as a smart and provocative female thriller, Yellowjackets aims to subvert the teen genre with the R-rated treatment. The Lord of the Flies-like series unfolds across two timelines, jumping back and forth between teen and adult versions of the survivors.

Yellowjackets can be considered equally a survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, that's not really a soccer related show at all.

Stream season 1 of Yellowjackets on Showtime, starting November 14.
