The finale of “The Yellowjackets” on Showtime gave viewers a glimpse into the strong show they’ll be getting this winter. The new season is slated to debut in January and will include more characters, like the duplicitous lawyer who puts them all at risk, with twists and turns that are sure to keep audiences coming back for more.
Yellowjackets’ season one finale has finally debuted on Showtime after ten weeks, and the series has already been renewed! The series, which is divided into two timelines and follows the survival of a group of young ladies (and a few dudes), has captivated its viewers for months, and with the release of the season one finale, we finally have answers to some of the most pressing narrative strands. But that’s not all; the conclusion also left us with a lot to think about for season two, so let’s get started with 10 topics we’re considering for season two based on the finale. Spoilers for Yellowjackets may be found below!
“I shouldn’t say it, but I’ve been surfing Reddit a little bit and following Twitter a little bit, along with the whole cast and most of our EPs,” co-creator and executive producer Ashley Lyle told ET. “I’d guess that someone out of the tens of thousands of comments has correctly anticipated practically everything. And it isn’t necessarily the most popular notions that fascinate me…. It was a lot of fun to see people speculate about all of the [characters], especially Antler Queen… That appeals to me as much as the absolutely out-of-the-box notions, which may be utterly ridiculous at times but are really creative. As a result, I applaud everyone who comes up with [those]. It’s a lot of pleasure to see.”
The full first season of Yellowjackets is now available to watch on Showtime; join up for the subscription here. There are spoilers ahead!

Lottie is still alive.
Not only was it confirmed at the conclusion of Season One’s finale that Lottie was the Antler Queen, but it was also revealed that her woodland cult, which she began in the 1990s, is still alive today.
Adult Natalie is about to commit herself at the conclusion of the episode when her door bursts open and she is taken by a bunch of individuals dressed in the same attire. Suzie, her sponsor and confidante in the investigation into Travis’ murder, leaves her a message questioning who Lottie is, possibly relating Travis’ death and the emptying of his bank account to Lottie and her still-functioning cult.
It would be surprised if this wasn’t handled in the first episode or two of the following season, given Natalie’s importance in the story.

Taissa is now a Senator.
The last two episodes are centered around Taissa losing her senate campaign, but in the end, she pulls off the upset and wins.
This new twist, however, will just add to her problems, as her fugue states, dirt eating, and isolation from her spouse will only raise additional concerns from the general public. Isn’t it true that she can’t spend time in Washington while also eating dirt in the middle of the night with no one noticing?

Adam’s background is unknown.
Despite the fact that one of the most popular fan theories was that Adam was secretly Javi, a news item on the man’s “strange disappearance” (as we now know) appeared to suggest that he was simply an ordinary guy. It’s probable that if he was Javi, the news article would have included him since relatives and friends hadn’t seen him in a few days.
The circumstances of his “art profession” and tattoos, however, remain unknown. It’s uncertain if we’ll receive answers on this, but his death will undoubtedly play a major role in the surviving Yellowjackets’ 2021 plot.

What happened to Javi?
So if Adam wasn’t Javi, What happened to Javi?
Javi is missing in action following the Doom-coming in a 1990s flashback. Fans may infer that Javi met the same end out in the woods by himself after Jackie’s death in the same episode, but given that his status as missing is noticed by his brother Travis, this will most likely be a story strand that is addressed.

What happened to Shauna’s journals?
Jeff and Adam have not admitted to removing Shauna’s writings from the safe, leaving us with a significant concern (the former says he read them but he could have meant before). The simplest answer seems to be the most feasible; Shauna’s daughter Callie is most likely the one who abducted them.

In the pilot episode, who was eaten?
The sizzling, juicy, meaty feast featured in the first episode has still to be unveiled after ten episodes. The first episode establishes that a group of the Yellowjackets has resorted to cannibalism and is feasting on….someone. The name of this individual was not revealed in the season finale, but given the fact that Lottie is still alive and well with her cult, might the person who fell in the pit have been current rather than past?

What is the origin of the symbol?
Though Lottie’s cult embraced the emblem, which has caused dread among the other surviving Yellowjackets, its actual origins are unknown, since it was observed carved into a nearby tree shortly after the aircraft crash.
Could it have come from the guy who owns the cottage where the Yellowjackets have made their home? That seems plausible, given that they’re the only other human, uh, corpse, they’ve seen in the woods.

What will happen to Shauna’s child?
In the final episodes, Shauna’s pregnancy becomes public knowledge, but whether she brings it to term and what happens to it out in the woods remains a mystery. Will Shauna be the mother? Is it going to be eaten? Is it still alive and well in Lottie’s cult? Season two cannot come fast enough.

“Please inform Nat that she was correct.”
The discovery of Travis’ corpse brings to life the revelation of the last thing he scribbled on his notebook, “Tell Nat she was right.” What Nat was correct about is, once again, one of the series’ most vexing mysteries.
Or maybe we were reading the note wrong all along. Maybe the “she” in “Please inform Nat that she was correct.” is someone else, maybe it was Lottie, whose cult are seemingly the ones that killed Travis and burned the symbol below his body with candles.
However, it’s possible that Nat is the “she,” and the only thing she was correct about was how crazy Lottie is, or how Lottie would return after them.

What happened to Jackie’s body?
The other Yellowjackets buried everyone else who perished in the aircraft accident, but Jackie’s death in the snow preserved her corpse better than the others. Could Jackie be the first cannibalism menu’s main course?
