Yellowjackets Will End With Season 4, Final Chapter Set for 2026

The creators say the series is concluding by design to honor where the story naturally stops.

Overview

  • Showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson confirmed the fourth season will be the last, emphasizing the decision is a creative conclusion rather than a cancellation.
  • The writers’ room is active now, with production scheduled for 2026 and a planned premiere later that year on Paramount+/Showtime.
  • The series was initially pitched for five seasons, so the story will wrap one season earlier than the original plan.
  • Cast and fans reacted emotionally to the announcement, including a tearful TikTok from Samantha Hanratty saying the team had just learned the news.
  • Some outlets note unconfirmed industry speculation about corporate shifts or cast changes influencing the timing, though the creators present the ending as intentional.
