Ahead of the season debut in March, it was confirmed last month that Yellowjackets had been renewed for a third run.
"With Yellowjackets' runaway success in season 1 and the pent-up anticipation for season 2, we wanted to maximise the momentum by fast-tracking season 3 now," said Chris McCarthy, CEO at Showtime and Paramount Media Networks.
"The show's ambition is only exceeded by its execution, and I thank the incredible creative team behind it, including Ashley [Lyle, co-showrunner], Bart [Nickerson, co-showrunner], Jonathan [Lisco, co-showrunner], eOne and the Showtime team, for turning this into such a success."
Yellowjackets season 2 premieres March 24 on Showtime in the US, with a UK release date TBA for Sky and NOW users.
