Yellowjackets Season 3: The show seems to just get better, with the long-awaited third season slated to debut February 14, 2025, on Showtime and Paramount+.
That psychological thriller has mesmerized viewers with its tense storyline — alternating between past and present — of a high school girls’ soccer team trying to survive in the wilderness after a plane crash. As the adult survivors tried to resume their lives, dark secrets from their past continued to plague them.
With Season 2 leaving fans with more questions than answers, the upcoming season is expected to address some of the biggest mysteries in the series. Here’s a breakdown of the most pressing questions that Yellowjackets Season 3 must answer.
Who Was Javi’s Mysterious “Friend”?
“A surprise find was turned up — Javi Martinez had been missing for two months before anyone found him — alive. But he never said how he had survived for weeks alone in the brutal winter wilderness, apart from the group. The only hint came in his reference to a “friend” who had told him not to go near the girls in the cabin. Just what it means is unclear; many fans believe it could be linked to Tai’s dark alter ego that Kadaniz brought out, known as Dark Tai, or possibly a supernatural entity in the woods. Season 3 could finally shed light on how Javi survives.
What Would Happen to Crystal/Kristen?
In Season 2, Misty made friends with a girl named Crystal, only to later tease that her actual name was Kristen. Their friendship turned dark when Misty revealed she destroyed the plane’s black box and Kristen was horrified and fell off a cliff. But when Misty returned to get her body, it was gone. Could she have survived? Is someone connected to her disappearance? The mystery, to this day, remains unsolved.
What Is the Truth About Tai’s Sleepwalking and the “Man With No Eyes”?
Tai has been wrestling with sleepwalking and disturbing visions of a shadowy figure known as the “Man with No Eyes.” The show has kept fans guessing: Is this a case of psychological trauma or is there a supernatural force at work? Season 3 may delve into whether Tai’s actions are a reflection of a deeper, possibly mystical connection to the wilderness.
What’s Walter’s Real Motive?
Elijah Wood’s Walter quickly became a fan favorite in Season 2, but there’s much about him we don’t know. Misty’s life, his extravagant wealth and his true motives — and how they we used his wealth to ultimately betray Misty — is one of the mysteries of the show. With Wood now a series regular, Season 3 is expected to explore further his past and how he’s tied to the Yellowjackets survivors.
Who Else Is Aware of the Black Box?
Misty’s decision to destroy the plane’s black box also removed any possibility of an early rescue. But did she hold this secret all to herself, or was someone else in on it? But if they do discover that information, they may very well rewrite everything in both timelines, past and present!
Is Wilderness Haunted or Is It All in Your Head?
The most harrowing question for viewers continues to be whether the godforsaken incidents out in the wild are supernatural or merely a manifestation of grim psychological damage. Season 3 could finally bring things to a head, one way or the other — or it could keep blurring the lines.
As Yellowjackets returns, fans will surely want answers to these lingering mysteries. Will season 3 finally shed some light on that, or just offer up more questions? Only time will tell.
