Today Showtime released the official trailer for season two of the Emmy-nominated drama Yellowjackets. Also the trailer marks the release of Florence + The Machine’s exclusive new single “Just A Girl,” which is cover of No Doubt’s song from 1995.
The single is produced by Florence Welch and Mark Bowen of IDLES. Season two of YellowJackets will debut on demand and on streaming Friday, March 24 for all Showtime subscribers, before making its on-air debut on Sunday, March 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
Season one has a rare 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and received seven Emmy nominations. The tv show averaged over 5 million weekly viewers across platforms and was the second-most streamed series in Showtime history. Yellowjackets is produced by studio Entertainment One.
In the press release Florence + The Machine member Florence Welch describes her excitement about Yellowjackets and the process of creating a cover of “Just A Girl.”
“I’m such a huge fan of Yellowjackets and this era of music, and this song especially had a huge impact on me growing up, so I was thrilled to be asked to interpret it in a ‘deeply unsettling’ way for the show. We tried to really add some horror elements to this iconic song to fit the tone of the show. And as someone who’s first musical love was pop punk and Gwen Stefani it was a dream job.”
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, 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. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
In season two, two months have passed since Shauna gave Jackie the cold shoulder and in the face of their deepening hunger and fear, the tension among our Yellowjackets has only grown worse. The harsh conditions of winter are intensifying by the day, and the psyches of our survivors are deteriorating just as fast.
Threatened by the darkness of the wilderness and the haunting memories of it in the present, our former state champs will be forced to make impossible decisions. As they confront the horrible truth of what survival entails, the real nightmare for each of them will be to figure out who they are— and what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive.
