New ‘Yellowjackets’ Photos Reveal Characters at Funeral in Season 3 After Shocking Deaths

New Photos from Yellowjackets Reveal Characters at a Funeral in Season 3

Fans of Yellowjackets are eagerly anticipating the arrival of season 3, but it’s bittersweet as they prepare to bid farewell to a cherished character. The shocking events of the season 2 finale left adult Natalie Scatorccio, portrayed by Juliette Lewis, dead after an unintentional overdose administered by Misty Quigley. Recent images released indicate that the adult survivors of the harrowing plane crash appear to be attending Natalie’s funeral in the upcoming season.

In the newly unveiled photos, adult characters Van Palmer (Lauren Ambrose), Taissa Turner (Tawny Cypress), Shauna Sadecki (Melanie Lynskey), and Jeff Sadecki (Warren Cole) are shown dressed in black, grieving together in a church setting. Notably absent from these images is Misty, though series co-creator Ashley Lyle hinted at the emotional fallout that Natalie’s death will have on her character. Lyle humorously remarked that “Misty is handling it great,” yet acknowledged that the loss significantly affects her emotionally, reverberating throughout the group.

Throughout the series, Natalie’s troubled life has been explored in depth, with much of her turmoil stemming from past traumas and addiction struggles. Director Karyn Kusama noted that the character has danced around death multiple times, culminating in the tragic mistake that took her life. This theme of messy human errors resonates with other plot lines, echoing the earlier death of Jackie in season one, a testament to the show’s exploration of flawed humanity.

As shocking as Natalie’s death is, she was not the only character who met a tragic end in the explosive finale. Misty’s boyfriend, Walter Tattersall, committed heinous acts that ended in violence, leaving viewers to grapple with the emotional fallout alongside the characters. The end of last season also saw young Natalie, played by Sophie Thatcher, stepping into a leadership role, a choice that sparked conflict among the group of girls.

In the face of escalating challenges, Coach Ben made the drastic decision to burn down their cabin, pushing the already struggling team into a more precarious situation. The new photos unveil glimpses of the girls building makeshift shelters from leaves and branches as they confront their dire living conditions. With the unpredictable nature of survival ahead, fans can expect to see their ingenuity tested in multiple ways.

Co-creator Bart Nickerson hinted at a surprising display of resilience from the group, suggesting they will rise to the occasion despite the odds stacked against them. As the anticipation grows for season 3, the future remains uncertain for these complex characters, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats for what is to come.
