Christina Ricci: Last News

Yellowjackets is nigh, and this time: Winter is coming.Though the new episodes will, more or less, pick up where we left off, it looks like enough time has passed that the girls’ home in the wilderness is now covered in snow—which certainly won’t make things easy for these amateur survivalists.Meanwhile, in the present-day timeline, the grown-up versions of the characters are dealing with the fallout of season one’s drama: Taissa (Tawny Cypress) is balancing her Senate race win with her continued waking nightmares, Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) is trying to pretend she didn’t just murder an innocent man, and Misty (Christina Ricci) has escaped captivity, just as Natalie (Juliette Lewsi) has been kidnapped herself—presumably by their old pal Lottie.The full-length trailer for the season has just dropped, giving us a first real taste of what’s to come, including the introduction of new cast members Lauren Ambrose (as adult Van), Simone Kessell (grown-up Lottie), and Elijah Wood (playing a man named Walter, who may be some help—or another obstacle to Misty’s hero journey).As has become tradition for the show, the teaser clip only introduces more questions than it does answers—and we love it that way. Watch the trailer, and then head below to read up on six noteworthy details that have us stoked for season two:By the end of season one, it seemed pretty clear that Teen Lottie (Courtney Eaton) would become our Antler Queen—the one who would lead our survivors to some pretty dark places.
