"Yellowjackets" showrunners promise they will be heading back to the winter mystery in Season 2, even though it's shooting this summer.

The finale closed with Lottie ritualistically placing a bear’s bloody heart in a tree-stump altar, flanked by Misty (Samantha Hanratty) and Van (Liv Hewson), foreshadowing what’s to come when the stranded teammates finally reach that stage from the premiere. “So this will be movie magic at play.” “We’ve been in the writers’ room for several months now, and we’re circling a late summer production start,” Lyle said and, because of that targeted filming season, “we will have to get very creative on a production front” to make “Yellowjackets” Season 2 as winter-heavy as the showrunners want it to be.
