One of the coolest parts of “Yellowjackets” is the show’s alternate timeline. The series revolves around the Yellowjackets soccer team that crashes while landing in the woods, telling the story in both the past and present.
During the first season, it was revealed that Shauna (Sophie Nélisse/Melanie Lynskey), Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown/Tawny Cypress), Misty (Sammi Hanratty/Christina Ricci) and Natalie (Sophie Thatcher/Juliette Lewis) qualified for the finals. labour. the wilderness is alive. However, their experience of fighting for survival continued to affect them many years into adulthood. The fact that we only see some characters as adults makes us wonder what happened to the rest of the team after the accident. Maybe we’ll find out later that they died in the wilderness, or maybe the show is recording their appearance in the present at the right time.
For example, Lottie (Courtney Eaton/Simone Kessell) was not revealed to have survived until the end of season one, and Lauren Ambrose’s appearance as Mature Van in season two confirms that she too survive to adulthood.
