The show follows a high school girl's soccer team - the titular Yellowjackets - destined for the national championship when all hell breaks loose. On the way to the championship, their private plane crashes in the woods and the group is forced to do whatever it takes to survive.

Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, YELLOWJACKETS is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness.

Though Yellowjackets isn't based on a true story per se, it is reminiscent of the non-fiction book, “Miracle of the Andes” (2006), where a plane carrying a group of rugby players crashed in Argentina. Those who made it through the crash were stranded for over 10 weeks - resorting to cannibalism as a means of survival.

After a long and difficult labor that sees Shauna risk bleeding out and dying (even though viewers know she survived), her son is ultimately stillborn.

The WHS Yellowjackets have done several horrible things, which has prompted the team to agree to never reveal any of it to the public. From extreme cannibalism and assault to drugging an entire group of people, the Yellowjackets do some terrible things during their time in the woods.

Be Cautious. This show is loaded with violence, gore, fear, psychological trauma, sex, swearing, crime, murder, accidental death, animal killing, and drugs.

The young actors are amazing as well as the "adults", with the oustanding performances of Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci. For sure a MUST SEE. If you want to go on a wild thrill ride, this show is for you. So good!

Yellowjackets mixes drama and dark comedy while coming off like a psychological thriller, but its horror vibe is the one that works best.

Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) is one of the seven Yellowjackets survivors who lives a fairly unfulfilled life as a homemaker with Jeff, Jackie's former high school boyfriend who slept with Shauna shortly before Flight 2525 crashed and whose child she carried in the Ontario wilderness.

After an impossibly difficult labor (during which Misty has her own personal meltdown), Shauna gives birth to a baby boy.

In season 1, the soccer team gets their periods, except Shauna (Sophie Nélisse), who realizes that she's pregnant. Prior to the crash, Shauna slept with Jeff (Jack DePew), who was her best friend Jackie's (Ella Purnell) boyfriend, complicating matters.

They also do it because Jackie was what they were told to aspire to be, so much so that they loved her almost as much as they hated her - until the only thing there was left for them to do was eat her all up. Jackie (Ella Purnell) appears only briefly in the opening credits of Yellowjackets.
