Yellowjackets Season 4 to Premiere Nov. 20 on Paramount+ Premium

Showrunners say the final season will dramatize the survivors' rescue, their fraught reassimilation into 1990s society, plus a public reckoning over what they did

Overview

  • Paramount+ announced on Thursday that Yellowjackets Season 4 will debut Friday, November 20, 2026 on its Premium tier and released a short teaser to mark the reveal.
  • Co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson previously confirmed this will be the series' final season and are leading a story focused on the immediate aftermath of the characters' return to society.
  • The teaser uses 1990s-era news footage and archival clips to frame the rescue and homecoming as a media event and echoes the official logline about the survivors racing to "bury their sins."
  • Most principal cast members are confirmed to return, including Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci, and reporting has added new names such as Molly Ringwald and June Squibb alongside Season 3 addition Hilary Swank.
  • Season 3 set up the rescue when teen Natalie made contact over a repaired radio, Season 3 was the show's most-watched to date, and Lionsgate-produced Season 4 will arrive just before Thanksgiving with a full trailer and episode count still to be released.
