EXCLUSIVE: June Squibb (Eleanor the Great, Thelma) has joined the cast of Showtime‘s Yellowjackets for its fourth and final season. Details regarding her role are under wraps.
Created and executive produced by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, Yellowjackets tells the saga of a team of talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness.
Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, 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 addition to the above, the cast also includes Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Samantha Hanratty, Sophie Thatcher and Courtney Eaton. Nia Sondaya, who plays Teen Akilah, was upped to a series regular earlier this month. As we reported today, Molly Ringwald will recur in the final season.
Yellowjackets is produced by Lionsgate Television and Creative Engine. Season 3 executive producers include Lyle, Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco. Drew Comins of Creative Engine also served as executive producer along with Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon. The series is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Squibb is repped by BRS/Gage.
