Showtime announced today that Yellowjackets will be coming to an end after its fourth season. The news comes five months after the drama was picked up for what will now be its final run.
Creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson took to the show's official Instagram account with a message to the fans about their decision to end the show.
"After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we're excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season," they wrote in the post. "We've always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it's our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen. Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we're so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life. Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery and meal — the Hive is nothing without you! We can't wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it...delicious."
In Yellowjackets, a team of high school girls soccer players were involved in a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness 25 years ago. In present day, we learn about their lives over that time, and how they went from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans. We also see the lives they've attempted to piece back together, proving that the past can never really be left behind and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

I'm disappointed this is ending mainly because the trans representation isn't that explicit.
Maybe I need to watch the show first.
