Christina Ricci
‘Yellowjackets’ (Showtime)

My favorite thing about my character: How wonderful she is at being alone. She is so used to being rejected and living alone that she is her own best friend and companion. She always entertains herself and keeps herself amused. She truly has fun and makes fun from nothing.

And the most frustrating thing: In past seasons, it has been her denial and desperation to be included by her “friends.” She has willfully ignored all of the insults and terrible things being said about her, and it’s been difficult emotionally to play. As an actor, you bring so much of yourself and get so mixed up emotionally with the character. One thing that has been great about that is that I remember, and have held on to, the hurt I felt as the character that I wasn’t able to express or react to each time. It’s been what I’ve used to build her base layer of rage and fuel the awakening and anger Misty finally experiences this season.

The scene that spiked my anxiety: I dreaded playing her drunk. I hate playing drunk anyway. It’s just my worst thing to have to act. Always feels more like you’re doing an impression rather than something as grounded as what you usually do in a performance. But I did it. We got through it.

The character in my?show that I’d most like to have?dinner with: Misty. I really do love her. And she’d have so much fun information on so many specific things.

The show I’d love to do a crossover episode with: I would very much like us to do a crossover with The Last of Us.

Say it loud and clear: I’m For Planned Parenthood

Over 250 artists, activists, athletes and business leaders support Planned Parenthood’s mission. All across the country, nearly 600 nonprofit health centers provide the care communities need and deserve.

That’s why we say: I’m For Planned Parenthood — join us. Add your name to the list at plannedparenthoodaction.org.

I’m For Planned Parenthood
Because I’m for freedom. And Americans are losing more of our freedom to decide how we live our own lives.

Because I’m for health care. And 1 in 4 people in the U.S. have been to a Planned Parenthood health center for care: birth control, cancer screenings, wellness exams, STI testing and treatment, abortion, gender affirming care, and more.

Because I’m for you and me — not the government — deciding what care we need and where we can go to get it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz! Yellowjackets is coming back for a fourth season.

Paramount+ With Showtime has renewed the hit survival series created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson following a season three finale that was full of revelations and courted a still-buzzing audience. Production dates are set to be announced soon.

The season three ender, which streamed April 11 (and aired two days later on the Showtime cable channel), became Paramount’s most-watched season finale with 3 million cross-platform viewers worldwide in its first seven days.

“Yellowjackets has become a cultural juggernaut, with season three shattering all previous records,” says Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios. “Ashley and Bart have masterfully crafted an utterly singular, genre-defying phenomenon — a perfect alchemy of psychological horror, survival thriller and coming-of-age drama that continues to captivate audiences worldwide, brought to life by our extraordinarily talented and beloved cast.”

Yellowjackets tells the coming-of-age saga of a high school team of female soccer players who became survivors after their plane crashed in the remote wilderness. The series follows the group in both the past and present and capped its deadly third season — the darkest one yet from showrunners Lyle, Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco — with a revelatory finale that answered several lingering questions (including the identity of “Pit Girl”) and ended on cliffhangers in both timelines.

The sprawling cast included Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins and Simone Kessell, with Elijah Wood in a recurring role and guest stars Hilary Swank, Joel McHale, Nelson Franklin and Ashley Sutton.

The series, produced for Showtime by Lionsgate Television and produced by Paramount Global Content Distribution, is executive produced by Lyle, Nickerson and Lisco, along with Drew Comins of Creative Engine with Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon.

Over three seasons, Yellowjackets has had some pretty wild moments — arm eating, kidnapping, murder. To make those actions feel earned, though? “It needs to be a bit of a slow burn so that when [a character] says, ‘Eat your arm,’ it’s not just a shocking moment,” executive producer Jonathan Lisco says. “It makes sense on a psychological level.” During an Apr. 4 conversation with The Ankler’s Prestige Junkie author Katey Rich, executive producers Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson, Lisco and star Christina Ricci dish on the making of their stranded soccer team survival thriller and the high-stakes turns its third season took. Ricci, a longtime film actress, asks the producers each season for the “broad strokes” of her character arc, knowing that — unlike film — the beats of that arc can change on a dime. “I’m really trying to learn this muscle that TV actors have where you live in the moment,” she says. “You’re able to execute the scene without holding onto any baggage of the preparation.” You can watch Yellowjackets on Paramount+ With Showtime.
