Now in its third season, the survival horror-drama “Yellowjackets” is still proving to be a massive hit for the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME streaming service, with this month’s Season 3 premiere becoming the most watched episode of “Yellowjackets” in the show’s history.
Deadline details, “The premiere episode generated 2.03M viewers across its debut weekend on Paramount+ with Showtime. This includes the three-day streaming audience that tuned in once the episode became available on Friday, as well as any same-day viewers that watched when the episode aired on the linear network Sunday night.”
Additionally, Deadline lets us know this week, “Paramount Global also says that this is the most-streamed episode in series history, outperforming the Season 2 premiere by 58%.”
Three episodes of “Yellowjackets” Season 3 are now streaming, with the season’s 10th and final episode arriving April 11. New episodes debut Fridays on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, “Yellowjackets” is the saga of a team of high school soccer players who become the survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later.
In “Yellowjackets” Season 3, which premiered on Valentine’s Day, as summer arrives, the Yellowjackets face a fragile victory—the brutal winter that nearly claimed them is finally behind them, but distrust in leadership and tension within the team jeopardize their chances of being rescued. In the present, long-buried secrets from their pasts begin to surface.
As the women fight to keep their lives from unraveling, they must confront a chilling question: who are they really, and what dark truths are they hiding from each other and themselves?
