Yellowjackets Season 4: Renewal news, Viewership data, plot Predictions, and more
Published on April 5, 2025
Season 3 of Yellowjackets is full of twists and turns, with surprising deaths making viewers gasp. But now that the season is almost at its end, fans want to know if Yellowjackets season 4 is a possibility. In this article, we will dive into the current renewal status and discuss whether a renewal is possible or not.
Has Yellowjackets been Renewed for Season 4?
At the time of writing, Yellowjackets has not been officially renewed for season 4. However, one of its main stars is confident that a season 4 is coming. Sophie Nélisse, who portrays Shauna Shipman in the show, said in an interview with The Direct:
“I haven’t heard anything, but I think it would be cr*zy if we didn’t get one. Maybe I’m just delusional.”
She also said that season 3 will have a strong finale with a cliffhanger, which would boost their chances of a renewal. The actor said: “I mean, the finale of Season 3 is so strong and so powerful and leaves you on such a cliffhanger that there's no way, in my mind, we're not being renewed."
The plan is for Yellowjackets to run for five seasons, and even though the show hasn’t been renewed for a season 4 yet, it would be quite shocking if it doesn’t get a new season order. We think that the renewal news will come on the season 3 finale day or just a couple of days after.
What does the Yellowjackets Season 3 Viewership data say?
The lack of a season 4 renewal news till now is a little shocking because the show was given a season 2 order halfway through season 1. Then, the Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson-created show was renewed for season 3 before season 2 even premiered.
However, there isn’t any need to panic just yet. Deadline reported that season 3 premiered to more than 2.03 million viewers in its debut weekend. It was a 58% increase over the season 2 premiere. Deadline reported on Mar. 14, 2025, that Season 3 viewership is up 39% over Season 2 on Paramount+ with Showtime.
On Mar. 21, 2025, the official Nielsen account that tracks viewership data tweeted:
“New episodes of psychological drama @yellowjackets96 help drive 724M+ viewing minutes on @paramountplus.”

- Sophie Nélisse as Shauna Shipman
- Melanie Lynskey as Shauna Shipman
- Jasmin Savoy Brown as Taissa Turner
- Tawny Cypress as Taissa Turner
- Samantha Hanratty as Misty Quigley
- Christina Ricci as Misty Quigley
What will Yellowjackets Season 4 be About?
Sophie Nélisse expressed what she wants season 4 to be about in an interview with The Direct. She said, “I'm very excited for what's to come in Season 4, although I have, like, no hints. I would like them to be rescued [in Season 4]. Or maybe like, partially, half [of Season 4] is in the wilderness, and then half is them getting back to real life.”
The actor revealed that she is excited to see how the group copes with the pressure of going back to normal life after getting rescued. She said:
“I would love to see how they cope with that, having the pressure of family and the media and school, and having to be immersed in like, a normal life after having undergone all of those events.”
