Now, Netflix has released Yellowjackets season 2 on its streaming service. Yellowjackets season 3 is only available to stream on Paramount+ as the wait for season 4 of the hit series continues. All episodes of season 1 and season 2 are available to stream on both platforms.
What This Means For Yellowjackets
It Will Help Build Popularity For The Show
Yellowjackets season 1 has been available to stream on Netflix since October 2024. As the streaming service is a juggernaut in the modern age, it makes sense for Yellowjackets to expand its reach, given how popular the show is with viewers.
The series has been slowly unfolding its mystery that takes place in the modern day and the 1990s, following a plane crash where a group of teenagers are forced to survive. While it has undeniable similarities to Lord of the Flies, Yellowjackets has established its own unique dark universe that regularly shocks its audience.
