Yellowjackets spoilers follow.
Yellowjackets has found its adult Lottie in Obi-Wan Kenobi star Simone Kessell, who has joined the cast of the show's second season.
The New Zealand actress is set to star as an older version of the character – and villain? – played by Courtney Eaton in the first season (via Variety).
Set in two different timelines, Showtime's survival teen drama follows a New Jersey high school football team whose plane crashes on the way to a national tournament. In the wilderness, the girls and their coach need to fend for themselves, while supernatural occurrences and conflicts risk dividing the group.

In the present, viewers got to meet the adult versions of four characters, played by Melanie Lynskey (Shauna), Christina Ricci (Misty), Juliette Lewis (Natalie) and Tawny Cypress (Taissa).
As the events unfold, hopping from one timeline to the other, Lottie is hinted to be the mastermind that is threatening the adult survivors. In the past, the increasingly unhinged character is also revealed to be the Antler Queen, a mysterious figure that is in charge of a cannibalistic ritual in the first episode.

It seems that season two will give way to a little high school showdown as another adult character is set to make a comeback.
Alongside Kessell, Servant's Lauren Ambrose has been cast as adult Van, whose teen version is played by Santa Clarita Diet's Liv Hewson.
While season two is guaranteed to have a lot on its plate, fans better be patient as the new instalment won't air before next year. Earlier this month, co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson explained production is set to start soon with an early 2023 prospective release date in mind.
"It's a deeply serialised story, and we wanted to make sure we didn't rush it, and that we got it right. And so this was the earliest we could accomplish that," Lyle said.
Yellowjackets is available on Sky and NOW in the UK, and Showtime in the US.
