'Yellowjackets' Season 3 production officially underway
The much-anticipated third season of the popular drama series Yellowjackets has officially begun filming. Showtime, the network responsible for airing the series, confirmed this development and shared a glimpse into the production process through a series of set photos on social media. The caption accompanying these images intriguingly read, "We know you're starving." The commencement of production follows a delay caused by a strike from writers and actors that pushed its air date to 2025.
