The Showtime series Yellowjackets has earned a lot of buzz, especially following its multiple Emmy nominations. The series, which stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, and a number of other young actors, depicts a group of young women from a high school soccer team whose plane crashes in a remote location. The ladies are left to fend for themselves for 19 months before being rescued.

The story flips between the '90s and present-day with the women, now adults, still dealing with the trauma of what happened; and the secrets about the dark bonds they developed with one other. Yellowjackets has been compared to Lost for its deep cast and numerous mysteries. After a slow start, the series picked up popularity over the course of its first season and was renewed for a second and third.

While Showtime is a premium cable channel, there are several ways to watch Yellowjackets without paying for a full subscription.

As noted, Yellowjackets was renewed for a second season in December 2021, which is set to premiere on Showtime on March 26, 2023. In December 2022, however, ahead of the second season release, Yellowjackets was also renewed for a third season, which will presumably premiere sometime in 2024.

The first season, which is also available to watch on Showtime, ended with a shocking twist that had viewers, and the surviving ladies, reeling. With some of them acquiring new-found powers, mysterious kidnappings, and startling revelations, there's a lot to unpack for season 2.

Yellowjackets Is On Showtime

Showtime is a premium cable network similar to HBO, Starz, and Cinemax. The network was modeled off HBO and features a combination of drama, comedy, recent-release films, and sports content such as boxing and MMA. In addition to Yellowjackets, the network has aired several popular and trendsetting series such as Dexter, Homeland, and Billions.

Also like HBO, Showtime offers its own streaming service. The Showtime service, which typically costs $10.99 a month, is available on web browsers and through smart TVs such as Roku and Apple TV, as well as through Prime Video. There is also the Showtime Anytime service, which is available online for Showtime cable subscribers. The Showtime streaming service doesn't offer as much content as HBO Max, as parent company Viacom has most of its other shows and movies on Paramount+, but it does have a couple of decades of the network's back catalog, including all 10 episodes of Yellowjackets.

How To Watch Yellowjackets For Free

Showtime currently offers a one-month free trial for its streaming service followed by $10.99 per month for the next six months, which should provide enough time to watch the 10 first-season episodes of Yellowjackets, especially for binge lovers. The free trial does auto-renew, so those who don't want to be charged should cancel before the 30 days is up. The channel is also included in many TV or internet services, many of which, like YouTube TV, have free trials of their own.

Showtime also allows viewers to watch the first episode of Yellowjackets, in addition to many of its other series, for free on its website with no subscription necessary. Both the current and upcoming season of Yellowjackets are typically bundled with other Showtime series internationally as part of streaming services such as Crave in Canada and Sky Now in the UK.
