According to Variety, Season 4 will premiere on Paramount+ with the premium plan on Nov. 20, giving viewers a firm date for the next chapter of the series. The upcoming installment will also mark the end of the show, which was renewed for a fourth season in May 2025 before it was confirmed as the final chapter of the story.
What to Know About ‘Yellowjackets’ Season 4
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, “Yellowjackets” follows a high school girls’ soccer team whose flight crashes in the wilderness in 1996. The survivors spend 19 months stranded, while the title also tracks their lives 25 years later and the lasting effects of what happened during their time in the wilderness.
The show’s structure has been central to its story from the beginning. By moving between the teenagers’ struggle to survive and the adult survivors’ lives decades later, the hit has explored how the events of the crash continue to shape the characters. The series has also used its mystery-driven narrative to gradually reveal what happened during those missing months.
The program debuted in November 2021 before returning for a second season in March 2023. Its third season arrived in February 2025, following production delays connected to the 2023 Hollywood labor disputes. The fourth season is now set to bring the story to its planned conclusion.
“Yellowjackets” has also established itself as one of Showtime’s notable recent successes. The series has earned 10 Primetime Emmy nominations, along with recognition from the Writers Guild of America, Television Critics Association, Peabody Awards and Critics’ Choice Awards. Its third season also recorded the hit’s highest viewership to date.
The final season has been in production since March. Its arrival on Nov. 20 will therefore begin the show’s last stretch after three seasons centered on survival, trauma and the complicated bond between the younger and older versions of its characters.
