Part survival story, coming-of-age drama and horror saga, Showtime’s Yellowjackets follows a plane crash in 1996 that leaves a high school girls soccer team stranded in the Canadian wilderness, as well as the lives of the survivors 25 years later.Karyn Kusama, who directed and executive produced the pilot, said the intention was always to follow two parallel timelines.Contenders TV: The Nominees — Deadline’s Complete Coverage“A lot of great TV still has a very linear path and this was a great script that didn’t function in that way,” said Kusama during a panel at Deadline’s Contenders Television: The Nominees awards-season event. “It was much more about the past and the present intermingling, almost as one seamless thread and tonally it was just really stormy weather.”Kusama was joined on the panel by series co-creator Bart Nickerson, showrunner/executive producer Jonathan Lisco, and cast members Christina Ricci and Melanie Lynskey.Season 1 of the cult favorite premiered in November and ended with a series of cliffhangers, something Lisco and Nickerson said added to the show’s appeal.“We always wanted there to be some amount of tension and a bit of mystery,” Nickerson said.The series features an all-star female cast led by Ricci, Lynskey, Juliette Lewis and Tawny Cypress.Ricci plays the troubled Misty, the type of role that doesn’t come along very often.“She was a totally different character than I had ever played before and I didn’t really feel like I had seen that many versions of this character before,” said Ricci.Lynskey co-stars as Shauna, who 25 years after the crash is a stay-at-home mom trying to keep her darkest secrets safe.
