‘Yellowjackets’ Episode 2: Can’t You Smell That Smell? EP Jonathan Lisco Talks About That Scene

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT! This story contains plot details from episode 2 of Showtime’s Yellowjackets. Do not read unless you have watched the episode! After young Shauna enjoyed that special Jackie snack in the premiere episode, you knew it was only a matter of time before everyone shared in on the, ahem, fun.

Here, Executive Producer Jonathan Lisco — who wrote the second episode that’s been aptly titled “Edible Complex” — talks about finally filming the scene they’ve been teasing since the beginning, and what it means to the Yellowjackets going forward. DEADLINE Before we get into “Edible Complex,” I want to ask about that speech you gave at the Yellowjackets premiere in Hollywood.

You talked about fear. What did you mean by that? JONATHAN LISCO I was partially talking about the feelings of going into the second season because obviously it’s this funny thing, right?

You know what they say: success belongs to everyone and failure is an orphan. When you’re in the echo chamber of your own writer’s room, you don’t really know how things are going to connect with an audience.
