Yellowjackets Season 2 released on March 24, 2023. The show narrates a haunting story about a high school girls' soccer team that gets stuck in the forest after a plane crash. Held for nearly two years, they were left with desperate choices.

The show jumps between their brutal fight for survival and their lives 25 years later, where the trauma lingers in the form of dark secrets from their past. In Season 2, the psychological tension intensifies because the women grapple with what they did to stay alive and bury those haunting memories.

Yellowjackets Season 2 is not streaming on Netflix because the show is exclusive to Showtime so it is now available on Paramount+. It is only Season 1 of the show that can be found on Netflix. So far, there has been no statement from Netflix about Yellowjackets Season 2 or when it will come to Netflix.


What is the plot of Yellowjackets Season 2?

Misty Quigley decides to destroy the black box in Yellowjackets Season 2, leaving the audience puzzled. It is established that she has a need for control and belonging, so she makes the group dependent on her to survive. The darkness within her character deepens further, highlighting her need to be invaluable to the process of survival.

The stakes just get higher as the show continues. Far from its cute on-the-surface premise, the show starts churning out some horrific new threats for the girls. They even resort to cannibalism and have to suffer through a devastating wilderness wildfire.

Meanwhile, in contemporary times, Shauna and Misty struggle to get past their former malfeasance, while Taissa grapples with the fallout from her terrifying sleepwalking fits.

Nothing is more unsettling than facing the truth, and now Natalie finds herself kidnapped by a cult. Just when they thought it was safe, the mystery just deepens, especially now with the admittance that Lottie and Van survived the wild.
