Will 'Yellowjackets' return for season 4? Here's the latest on the survival thriller

The psychological survival drama 'Yellowjackets' has become one of television's most watched show, combining eerie supernatural undertones, teen trauma, and raw wilderness survival. Fans are excited to find out if there will be a Season 4 of the show after its third season ended with the terrifying finale, Full Circle.
Although an official Season 4 renewal for 'Yellowjackets' has not yet been announced, there are strong clues that the show may return. Showtime has not yet revealed the next installment, as PEOPLE verified. Behind the scenes, however, things appear promising, particularly in light of the continually increasing viewership.
According to Variety, the third season's premiere, which attracted a bit more than 2 million viewers on Showtime and Paramount+, topped the second season's debut. This outstanding performance shows that the show is growing its viewership in addition to keeping it.
There's more. According to a Deadline article, 'Yellowjackets' Season 3 audience with Showtime had increased by a staggering 39% from Season 2 by the next month. With figures like these, it's reasonable to assume that the show's popularity is still growing.
However, an official statement is still awaited despite the current situation. It's difficult to determine an exact release date without network confirmation. However, a pattern appears when we look at the show's prior release timeline. November 2021 saw the debut of Season 1, followed by March 2023 for Season 2, and February 2025 for Season 3. There has been a manufacturing lag of about two years between each installment.
Fans can expect 'Yellowjackets' Season 4 to premiere in 2027 if this pattern holds true and the program is renewed.
The show's severe themes- which range from survival to supernatural horror, cannibalism, and complex female dynamics: have become a cult favorite. It focuses on a girls' soccer team that ends up stuck in the forest following an aircraft crash. It stands apart in the crowded TV scene of today thanks to its dual-timeline storytelling, which has also received a lot of praise.
'Yellowjackets' has more to say, according to the fan base and the stats, even though an official renewal is still up in the media. Viewers will have to wait for a while being, but it appears like the forest might be calling again.
