We’ve got a new photo from Yellowjackets Season 2 for you to check out thanks to Vulture and it features our first look at Elijah Wood in the role of Walter with Christina Ricci as Misty. We don’t know what’s really going on in the photo, but they seem to be looking at something interesting.
When talking about Wood joining the series showrunners, Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson, and Jonathan Lisco shared:
"When Elijah agreed to come play on the Yellowjackets team, our minds were blown. We've been fans of his for years (in some of our cases, since middle school!) and are delighted to report that his incredible talent is matched only by his kindness, warmth, and enthusiasm for his work. We absolutely cannot wait for the world to meet Walter."
The report goes on to reveal that the character Walter is "a new citizen detective who is not represented by a younger self on the show, meaning he could really be up to anything, and on this show, that's both exciting and worrisome." When previously talking about working with Wood, Ricci shared:
"It's really fun; it's exciting. After our first season, people loved the show so they're excited to be there and it's really been fun. Most of my scenes -- not to spoil anything -- but a lot of my scenes this season have been with Elijah Wood and it's wonderful working with him again. We've just had a great time."
Yellowjackets was created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (Narcos). The series follows a talented high school girls' soccer team who survive a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The story “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.”
The series also stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Ella Purnell, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Sammi Hanratty, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, and Juliette Lewis. Other newcomers include Lauren Ambrose as the adult version of Van, who you can see photos of here, and Simone Kessell, who will be playing adult Lottie. Jason Ritter also joined the cast.
Yellowjackets Season 2 is set to premiere on March 24th, 2023.
