It’s been a week sinceYellowjacketswrapped its Season 2 run at Showtime, but fans weren’t quite ready to let this batch of episodes go. When a movement started to take shape on social media last night to wait till the clock stroke midnight just in case a surprise episode got revealed, series creatorAshley Lyledecided to give people a night of rest bysending everybody to sleepwith some good and bad news.
The good news is, there is indeed a bonus episode ofYellowjacketscoming our way. The bad news is that Lyle stayed mum on when this episode is going to be released. The showrunner revealed that the bonus episode will work as a bridge betweenSeasons 2 and 3, which could suggest that it can take a few weeks for it to drop.
What Can The Bonus Episode ofYellowjacketsBe About?
Of course, Lyle also didn’t reveal what we can expect from the upcoming episode, but it may be very well centered around a cast member that was announcedback in Decemberbut never actually appeared on-screen:Jason Ritter(Raising Dion). Since the actor – and lead starMelanie Lynskey’s husband – didn’t make an appearance in any of the nine episodes, chances are we’ll get to see him in the upcoming bonus episode.

There’s also a chance that this new episode diverts from the format of the series, since the show creators decided to separate it from the rest of the batch. It could be presented from a different character’s point of view, or maybe addresssome of the mysteriesand events that the season finale rushed past last week. In any case, we’ll have to wait until Lyle orBart Nickersonbreak their radio silence again so we can find out.
Yellowjacketstells the story of a group of girls that manage to survive a plane crash in the middle of a forest in the mid-90s. At the same time, it follows the group that managed to escape that forest but refuse to reveal to the world what went down while they were stranded. Season 2 revealed to the audience someharrowing story elementsthat had been part of fan speculation for a long time, and the upcoming Season 3 – which stopped productionone day after kicking off– is bound to take the series to even darker places.
