Yellowjackets Season 3: Natalie’s Reign as Antler Queen Is Threatened in New Trailer — Watch
Heavy is the head that wears the antler crown.
As if the teen survivors in Yellowjackets needed more drama in their lives, the series’ full Season 3 trailer — released Thursday — makes it seem as though newly minted Antler Queen Natalie might not be long for the throne.
Teen Shauna, in particular, seems invested in knocking her teammate out of the power position she acquired at the end of Season 2.. A little unhinged, no? (Though, in everyone’s defense, pretty much everything about their situation in the woods has become a little-to-a-lot unhinged.)

Meanwhile, in the present-day, someone is still gunning to take out the adult survivors. But will they continue working together to assure their safety? Unclear, especially when Shauna muses that “the only way to be safe is to be the only one left.”
Yellowjackets will return for Season 3 on Friday, Feb. 14. The long-awaited premiere will consist of two episodes that will be available to stream on Paramount+ (for subscribers with the Paramount+ with Showtime plan) and on demand; the episodes will air on the cable network on Sunday, Feb. 16.
A previously released teaser video that intercuts visuals of an insect-infested skull with flashes of horror from the girls’ time in the woods. Check it out below.
Hilary Swank (Alaska Daily) and Joel McHale (Community) both will appear in Season 3. No details about their characters are available, though Swank reportedly will have the option to become a series regular if the show is renewed for Season 4.
The Season 2 finale’s present-day storyline saw the death of Natalie, played by Juliette Lewis, whom Misty accidentally (and fatally) drugged with a syringe full of fentanyl during a scuffle in the woods. Meanwhile, in the past storyline, Lottie recovered from Shauna’s beat-down and declared that the wilderness had chosen Natalie as its new leader; the girls, and Travis, then paid homage to their new Antler Queen. That evening, though, a fire forced the crash survivors from the cabin, which went up in flames while they watched. (Read a full recap here.)
