Fans of Yellowjackets can let out the breath they’ve been holding since the third season ended over a month ago, as Showtime has finally revealed the fate of the “cultural juggernaut.”
On Tuesday, May 20, the network confirmed that the series “will return” for Season Four. Unfortunately, there’s no word yet on the timeline for new episodes, but viewers are certainly relieved to have something to look forward to—even if the weeks in between the last episode and the announcement felt like forever.
“TOOK UR DAMN TIME OMG,” one person vented in response, while another emphatically replied, “FINALLY THANK GOD.”
“I AM ALREADY SEATED,” someone else promised.
