The third season of Yellowjackets has begun, addressing the cliffhanger from the Season 2 finale. The finale, titled „Storytelling,“ received mixed reviews, particularly regarding the fate of Natalie, whose death sparked controversy among viewers.
In the ’90s timeline, the survivors faced a critical moment when their cabin caught fire, leading to speculation about the arsonist. Coach Ben Scott, portrayed by Steven Krueger, emerged as a key suspect after his struggle with the group’s descent into chaos. He had distanced himself from the girls, seeking refuge in a cave.
As the new season unfolds, the two-episode premiere titled „It Girl“ and „Dislocation“ suggests that Ben may not be the arsonist. His shock upon learning about the cabin’s destruction raises questions about his involvement. Instead of resorting to violence, he takes Mari hostage, indicating a reluctance to harm the group.
This shift in Ben’s character arc has drawn mixed reactions. While some viewers appreciate the complexity, others feel it undermines the show’s central theme of survival eroding humanity. The narrative now appears to move towards a more civilized existence among the girls, contrasting earlier expectations of escalating savagery.
With eight episodes remaining in the season, the direction of Yellowjackets remains uncertain. The series airs on Showtime and is available for streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.
