Subtext is for cowards in Showtime's new Yellowjackets trailer (and that means more over-the-top fun)

Prepare for the best tagline of 2024 to arrive just as the year is drawing to a close, teasing the third season of the Showtime hit series

“This place will follow us for the rest of our lives.” Never let it be said that the new trailer for the third season of Showtime’s Yellowjackets — which debuted at CCXP in São Paulo, Brazil Saturday afternoon — didn’t know to lean fully into the show’s high concept. And, in the process, offer up the best tagline of the year.

For those that don’t know, the high concept of the acclaimed show is that it follows the survivors of a plane crash in the 1990s — a group of high school soccer players — and the contemporary lives of those who made it out of the experience alive. I was going to say ‘intact,’ but it’s somewhat of an open question just how intact they truly are, as the new trailer underscores. Take a look for yourself.

In the third season, the present-day survivors — played by the all-star cast of Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose and Simone Kessell — find that someone who knows exactly what happened in the wilderness almost 30 years ago (spoilers: cannibalism, to say the least) is after them, leading to the aforementioned best tagline of the year: “Your past will come back to hunt you.”

With a pun like that, who needs anything more? Just in case you do, though, it’s clear that there’s a lot more twisting, turning, survivalist carnage on the way, as well. Yellowjackets season 3 debuts on Showtime February 14.
