The teaser trailer for Yellowjackets Season 3 has finally arrived, and it’s as confusing as it is exciting. Packed with shocking moments, emotional scenes, and plenty of moments that just don’t seem to make sense, the trailer leaves fans with more questions than ever.
From surprising twists to heartbreaking flashes of the characters’ struggles, the teaser gives us a glimpse of what’s to come while keeping things mysterious. There are so many small details and hints packed into the footage that it’s hard to catch them all at once.
I’ve done my best to break down the trailer and list as many details as possible. So, let’s dive in and explore what the teaser might be telling us about the upcoming season!
Shauna Attends Natalie's Funeral
Based on the first-look still from Yellowjackets, this scene appears to take place at Natalie’s funeral. The characters are dressed in black, and all the Yellowjackets seem to be present except Lottie, who remains in a mental hospital, and Misty is surprisingly missing.
Adult Misty’s Sudden Disdain for the Group
Misty has always been the most loyal member of the group, consistently there to support them, whether it was covering up a murder or helping with their darkest secrets. So why, then, is she burning their reunion picture? And why is she possibly stabbing—or at least dreaming about stabbing—Shauna?
One possible explanation could be that the others are now blaming Misty for Natalie’s death and distancing themselves from her. This shift in their dynamic may be driving Misty to take such drastic actions, fueled by feelings of betrayal and isolation.
Mari Runs Through The Woods
As Mari runs through the woods, we see dead stumps of trees that resemble the “altar” Lottie, Misty, and Van put a bear heart in during the final episode of season one.
Could Mari Be The Pit Girl?
This scene in the trailer resembles the infamous “PIT GIRL” scene from the Yellowjackets pilot. However, Mari isn’t wearing the necklace the “Pit Girl” is wearing in the opening scene of the first episode. This sequence begs the question: if Mari isn’t the Pit Girl, who else could it be? Possibly Gen?
Teen Misty In The Wintertime
The pilot episode of Yellowjackets reveals this person is Teen Misty. In this scene, Misty is most likely looking at an event taking place as we see her begin to take off her mask. Could we possibly be getting an EVEN MORE deranged Teen Misty?
Teen Shauna and Melissa
“Can’t believe we didn’t eat that [bitch] first.” - Shauna
This line could be referring to Mari due to her mean nature? On the other hand, Shauna possibly could be referring to Coach Scott. As time has passed on, the girls have stopped looking at Coach Scott as the typical adult-in-charge. If theories about Coach Scott burning down the cabin are true, this accusation aligns with Shauna’s disdain.
The Rock Circle
This sequence features the girls performing what looks like a celebratory ritual in a rock circle. It’s reminiscent of the soccer celebration seen in the pilot. This dance could be part of a hunting ritual.
Coach Scott
Unfortunately, this shot is pretty self explanatory: it shows Coach Scott’s suicidal ideology.
Another Shauna and Jackie Hallucination
Shauna is seen hallucinating Ghost Jackie similarly to scenes in the two prior seasons. Shauna could potentially be seeing Ghost Jackie here because she’s getting flashbacks to the meat freezer they kept Jackie in years ago.
Tai and Van (featuring The Man with No Eyes)
This clip shows Tai making out with Van as she sees The Man with No Eyes in the distance, hinting that we could get more backstory on The Man with No Eyes this season.
Teen Tai
“This place will follow us… [for] the rest of our lives.”
The trailer’s editing noticeably cuts this line. What could the creators be hiding? Is Tai referring to their collective guilt, trauma, or something more sinister?
A Walk in the Woods
The scene could mark the beginning of the ritual depicted in the still, where the girls are gathered in a circle, all dressed in white. This moment raises intriguing questions: Is this the onset of a hallucination? What has the girls so unsettled? What are they hearing? Could it be the howling of wolves, or perhaps voices echoing in their heads? We’ll have to wait for season three to uncover the truth.
A Shocked Natalie
What is Natalie stepping in? It could be a type of water, the spot that Javi was trying to lead her to, or is it all waterlogged from the wintertime? She is likely trying to find Coach Ben.
Shauna and the Animal Calls
The animal calls have been a recurring motif throughout the series: the opening “Pit Girl” scene from the pilot episode, Doomcoming, and the other hunts we’ve seen throughout seasons one and two. What could Shauna be calling for in this scene? Did she find who pulled the queen card, and is this how she ended the hunt?
Callie(?) Finds a Letter
In this scene, we see a character, who seems to be Callie Sadecki, pick up a letter addressed to ‘Shauna Shipman’ from a porch. Callie is seen wearing a similar hoodie in a first-look image from Entertainment Weekly and in this teaser trailer. Could this be when Callie finally tells Shauna about the letter she found?
Misty and Her Crime Scenes
Misty is seen in this clip at the scene of a crime scene. Could she potentially be meeting with Walter? What is she looking for?
The Judgement of Coach Scott
In this scene, we see Coach Scott on trial with Misty beside him. We know this is them because this shallow focus clip is intended to try and hide who we are seeing. From what we can see, Coach Scott’s beard and yellow shirt alongside Misty's blonde hair and jacket are visible.
The Power Shift
“You're not in charge anymore” - Shauna.
What could this mean for Natalie, who was crowned new leader last season? Could this be the start of a power imbalance? As we know, Shauna was jealous of Natalie getting crowned and she has been after some sort of control.
The Nature of the Hunt
The girls appear to be hunting each other during springtime, a stark contrast to their actions in winter when they had no other options for food. With animals likely available to hunt now, their continued pursuit of one another raises unsettling questions. In one scene, Shauna and others seem to be biting—and possibly eating—another girl, potentially Mari, while she’s still alive.
If true, this could be their darkest secret. While cannibalism might be seen as a desperate measure for survival in extreme circumstances, the girls have turned it into a sport, carried out in the most twisted and deranged way imaginable. Such behavior goes far beyond what society would ever consider acceptable.
Shauna and Misty
Why is Misty holding a knife to Shauna? Is she actually trying to stab her, or could the knife be heading past Shauna to strike the counter instead? The scene leaves much to interpretation, as the exact nature of their interaction remains unclear. Alternatively, could this moment be part of a dream sequence?
Walter's Back!
What could Walter be up to this season? Is he trying to find Lottie and help her escape the mental hospital? Or is he looking for Misty again, staying loyal to her as always? Walter’s loyalty to Misty is clear, but his actions are often unpredictable. Is he secretly acting behind her back to support her in his own way, or are they quietly planning something together?
Post-Rescue(?) Van
This clip appears to be post-rescue(?) Van looking into a fireplace in her house. Could she be thinking about her time in the wilderness? Or is there something more sinister happening?
Natalie on the Plane
Why is Natalie on the plane? Could she be retrieving the bones of Jackie’s body to give her a proper burial now that the land isn’t frozen?
Hilary Swank?!
Deadline's prior casting news revealed that Hilary Swank will appear in season three of Yellowjackets, but who is she playing? Many viewers theorize that she could be portraying adult Melissa.
