When is Yellowjackets season 4 coming? Cast, plot and everything we know so far
So far, Showtime and Paramount+ haven't dropped a release date for Season 4, but here's what we do know. The renewal was confirmed on May 20, 2025, about a month after Season 3 wrapped up in April. Looking at past premiere dates—Season 1 in November 2021, Season 2 in March 2023, and Season 3 in February 2025—it's clear that the timeline's been a little unpredictable. Season 2 and 3 had a bigger gap due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
If things stay on track this time, there's a good chance we'll see Season 4 hit screens sometime in late 2026 or early 2027. That gives the team enough breathing room for the usual filming and post-production, plus all the meticulous, layered storytelling Yellowjackets is known for. Cast Updates: Who's Returning?
While no official cast list has been dropped yet, a lot of familiar faces are expected to return. Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Nélisse (adult and teen Shauna) are all but guaranteed, especially after Shauna's sinister evolution into the 'antler queen.' Christina Ricci and Samantha Hanratty (Misty), Tawny Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown (Taissa), and Courtney Eaton (teen Lottie) are also likely sticking around.
Simone Kessell's adult Lottie sadly didn't survive the season, but with Yellowjackets , death doesn't always mean a final goodbye—flashbacks and hallucinations are part of the show's DNA. Juliette Lewis' Natalie, for example, skipped Season 3 but could very well return in some spectral form, just like Jackie did in earlier seasons.
Newer characters like Ashley Sutton's Hannah (whose fate was left dangling), and Elijah Wood's ever-mysterious Walter, are big question marks—but don't be surprised if they play major roles going forward. Plot Details: What's Next for the Yellowjackets?
Season 3 left us on a massive cliffhanger. Natalie managed to get a signal out using the plane's black box and a satellite phone—her desperate 'Can you hear me?' was finally answered. Is rescue finally coming? Maybe. But showrunner Ashley Lyle has already warned that the girls are 'not out of the woods yet.' Literally and metaphorically.
Season 4 is likely to cover the final stretch of their brutal 18-month survival in the wilderness. The second winter is coming, and so is a deepening divide among the survivors. Shauna's dark rise to power, seen when she manipulates Mari's death (yep, she was the infamous 'pit girl'), suggests a growing rift with those like Natalie and Misty who still cling to hope of being rescued.
Even once that rescue does come, don't expect sunshine and healing. The showrunners have hinted that they'll dig into the aftermath—what happens when the girls return home, carrying the horrors of what they did to survive? The Present-Day Timeline
The adult timeline is just as tangled. With the deaths of adult Van, Coach Ben, and Lottie, the core group is fractured again. Shauna's growing tension with Melissa (played by Hilary Swank) adds another layer of instability, and Walter's cryptic plotting could become the wild card that changes everything.
What's still unclear is how the adult survivors will move forward as their past closes in on them. The show's creepy psychological edge is likely to deepen, with the lines between what's real and imagined continuing to blur—especially with Lottie's visions still casting a long shadow over the group.

Is ‘Tracker' On Tonight? ‘Tracker' Season 3 Return Date On CBS
Our Sunday Scaries are at an all-time high without new episodes of Tracker on CBS. But after months of wondering when Justin Hartley's hit survivalist drama would return for Season 3 and which characters would be returning, we finally have answers! Tracker's Season 2 finale, which premiered all the way back on May 11, saw Colter Shaw (Hartley) head home for a job, visit his mom Mary Dove Shaw (Wendy Crewson), and learn some jaw-dropping revelations about the death of his father, Ashton Shaw (Lee Tergesen). For those who need a refresher, Colter's mom was involved in the death! So we need more info ASAP! 'I know we'll get to the nitty-gritty of why my mother hired this guy,' Hartley told Variety in a recent interview teasing Season 3. 'Was she protecting her kids? Was an affair happening? Was the government involved? Was it strictly just my mother? Why did she hide that from us for so long? Why did she lead me to believe that it was my brother who was involved when he wasn't? It seems like this divide-and-conquer thing that she's doing. It was just an odd thing to do with your children. There's some deep psychosis there. We'll unpack that.' When Tracker does return for Season 3, the show will also look a bit different, as two key cast members departed after Season 2: Eric Graise (Bobby) and Abby McEnany (Velma). But the Season 3 casting updates aren't all bad! Fiona Rene, who plays Reenie, will remain as the sole original cast member aside from Hartley. And on Thursday, July 31, fan-favorite guest star Jensen Ackles confirmed he's returning as Colter's brother Russell by posting an Instagram video of himself on set. So when does Tracker Season 3 return with new episodes on CBS? And is Tracker is on tonight, August 3, 2025? Here's everything to know about the future of Tracker on CBS, including Tracker's Season 3 premiere date, Tracker streaming info, and more. Is On Tonight (8/3/25)? Technically, yes! Tracker is on tonight, Sunday, August 27, 2025. But there's no new episode on. Instead, CBS will be re-airing TWO Tracker Season 2 episodes: Season 2, Episode 2, 'Ontological Shock' (9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. ET): 'When Colter suddenly disappears during his search for a missing father, Reenie recruits his brother, Russell, for help.' Season 2, Episode 3, 'Bloodlines'(10:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET): 'Colter and rival rewardist Billie Matalon team up to find a missing high school baseball star.' Will There Be A Season 3? So is Tracker eventually returning with new episodes? Yes! On February 20, 2025, CBS renewed the popular survivalist drama for Season 3, which makes sense, since CBS reported that Tracker hit over 18 million multiplatform viewers in February, a four percent increase from the prior year. On May 7, 2025, CBS claimed another big win when Tracker took the top spot in the network's 2024-2025 season, averaging 17.5 million broadcast and streaming viewers per episode, according to a 35-day Nielsen streaming report. So when will Colter and co. be back with new episodes? When Will Return With New Episodes On CBS? Tracker Season 3 Premiere Date: After months of anticipation, CBS finally announced Tracker's Season 3 premiere date. The series won't be returning until CBS's 2026-2027 broadcast season, so fans will have to wait a while for new episodes. But you can officially mark your calendars for Sunday, October 19, at 8:00 p.m. ET! How To Watch On CBS And Online: Want to watch reruns of Tracker live on CBS in the mean time? If you have a cable subscription that includes CBS, you can watch Tracker live by setting your TV to the proper channel a few minutes before an episode airs. You can also use your cable username and password to watch CBS episodes live on CBS, or by using the CBS app. If your cable package includes a DVR, you can always record live episodes for later viewing, too.

The Chi's Yolanda Ross Breaks Down Her Heartbreaking Exit in the Season 7 Finale: ‘We All Lost It'
If you thought it was hard to watch one of The Chi's Jada succumb to cancer in the Season 7 finale, think about how tough it was for Yolanda Ross to play her as the character's (and Ross') time on the show came to a bittersweet end. Ross has portrayed single mom/community stalwart Jada Washington since the Paramount+ With Showtime drama premiered in 2018. The end of that work brought up a ton of emotions, she says, but on set, she tried to focus on getting Jada's final scenes right. More from TVLine What to Watch This Week: 50 Premieres, Finales and More The Sandman's Finale Made Us Wish for a Death-Centric Spinoff: 'We Did Play With Those Ideas,' EP Says Kristen Johnston and Chuck Lorre Lament Mom Cancellation, Discuss How Leanne Is Thematically Similar 'I feel like I was nostalgic [when I was] alone,' she tells me. 'When I was at work, I felt like, 'Yeah, let's just get through this, 'cause I don't want to wallow in it.' She laughs. 'Because there's already, like, episodes full of sadness! And then to add to it any personal stuff? I didn't feel like doing that.' Jada's death wasn't the finale's only fatality: Lynn Whitfield's Alicia died when Roselyn resurfaced and sought vengeance for Douda's murder last season. Elsewhere in the episode, Tiff delivered her baby — a boy she named Rob Jr. — in a broken elevator with Victor assisting. And Kiesha had her daughter — whom she and Emmett named Jada — in a planned home birth. Though Jada's health was fading at the start of the hour, she mustered the strength to get to Emmett and Kiesha's to meet her new granddaughter. At the end of the episode, she died, surrounded by Emmett, Darnell, Kiesha and the baby. Ross and I spoke just before the finale started streaming. Read on to hear more of her thoughts on her character's legacy and exit (which she found out about 'when you guys did'). Dream Roles for Stars of Cancelled Shows: New Rookie Recruit, Meta Pitt Patient, Will Trent Sibling and More View List TVLINE | Let's back up a little and talk about Jada's celebration of life gathering. Tell me what that's like, when Jacob Latimore is giving Emmett's speech and then losing ROSS | I mean, I can't. We all lost it. [Laughs] It was hard. It's funny. The room was set up, andI had never been on that stage. I know my house. I know Emmett's house. My character doesn't move around into other people's zones. So I didn't even know whose place this was that I walked into. It was all dressed with pictures of us through the years and all that. It's a weird feeling, walking into something like that and then seeing characters that you've seen on TV but you never had scenes with. [Laughs] When Jacob went up, I was holding it together, but he was choking up early, and it was like oh man. He came over and hugged me, and that's it. You don't really see it so much in the episode, but we were a mess after that. I think they tried to clean us up and do it again, but I don't think it ended up getting done again. [Laughs] TVLINE | When did you find out that this season would be the last for her?Oh, when you guys did. TVLINE | Really?Yep. Right before the script came out. TVLINE | What was that like?It sucked. I mean, it was weird. It's kind of a mixed bag of things. It's like, first off, why didn't I know earlier? But then also, oh wow, now I can do other things. TVLINE | Do you think Jada was trying to hold on until Emmett's new baby was born?I do. It's funny, 'cause I don't know what the lapse of time really is supposed to be, because she definitely looks worse [from the preceding episode]. I do feel that… I know two people who died of cancer, and one literally waited until her husband's birthday. It's like, how do you do that? But you do that somehow. And [Kiesha's] baby came, and that was it. TVLINE | You mentioned she looks worse. What is that like when you look in the mirror and see face wearing that look?Well you know, that particular look, I know it looks different on camera compared to photos. Because I saw it in a photo and I was like, 'No, can't do that,' because in real life it looked like Night of the Living Dead. [Laughs] Like I was going into a different show! But on screen, it didn't look as drastic — I think. I haven't seen it yet. I just saw it in the monitor. TVLINE | Given that shows sometimes shoot out of order, was Jada's death the last scene you shot?Yeah, we shot it in order. It was so weird, because I'm laying in Darnell's lap, and Emmett comes over and everything. I'm not asleep, but my eyes are closed and stuff is happening on top of me. But then when I got up, after the scene was done, it was a set full of people because all the crew and cast were there. It was that I wasn't prepared for. TVLINE | You've played Jada for a long time, over lots of different storylines. Do you have a favorite season or version of her? The first cancer storyline, it was very fulfilling for me — on-camera and off — because I did so much work and got to work with women in Chicago going through it. I thought Season 2 was very interesting, because she was dating and doing things. Life got a little messy, and there were some interesting moments. Not expected, but those moments that are very real that women go through that we don't always get to see or talk about. That very last scene of that season with Emmett, where he walks in on his mom and dad, and [she says], 'Look, yeah, I know he's messed up, but I don't have anybody. Sometimes you feel things. I'm trying to figure this out, too.' That was a very lovely moment to have as a mother. TVLINE | What's next for you? For me, it's doing my own films. On Aug. 23, I'm doing a thing with the Brooklyn Museum… They're doing a block party kind of thing downtown, and I'm going to be photographing people. It's for [Malian photographer] Seydou Keïta. He's got an exhibit opening in November, so it's to set that up. Grade both the finale and Season 7 as a whole via the polls below, then hit the comments with your thoughts!

'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' holds its lead atop the box office
LOS ANGELES — Marvel's first family stumbled in theaters in its second weekend, but still held on to the top spot at the box office. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' earned $40 million from 4,125 North American theaters, a 66% drop from a healthy $117.6 million debut. The film was accompanied by comedies 'The Bad Guys 2' and 'The Naked Gun' in the top three box office rankings. The superhero movie dipped significantly more than Marvel's previous film, 'Thunderbolts,' which took a 55% dive in its second weekend. 'First Steps' is the last major blockbuster of the summer. It added nearly $40 million internationally in its second weekend, bringing thefilm's global total to $369 million. The movie's box office drop off was surprising given its strong reviews, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for the data firm Comscore. Though the movie's debut weekend may have given box office results a strong push toward the $4 billion summer benchmark, August is off to a slow start, he said. 'It's a tough lift, but we might be able to get there. It really means that all the films are gonna have to stand on their own,' Dergarabedian said. 'It's gonna be about getting great reviews, having that staying power, that longevity in the marketplace.' Newcomer comedy 'The Bad Guys 2' earned second place at the box office this weekend, with $22 million from 3,852 North American theaters. That was on par with projections and also in line with the first movie in the series, which brought in $23 million in 2022. Paramount's slapstick comedy, 'The Naked Gun,' also in its debut weekend, snagged the third box office spot, earning $17 million from 3,344 locations. Jim Orr, president of domestic distribution for Universal Pictures, said the solid debut for 'The Bad Guys 2,' coupled with strong audience reaction scores, 'should point to a very long, very successful run through not only the rest of the summer, but really, I think into the fall.' James Gunn's 'Superman,' which opened four weekends ago and already crossed $550 million globally, earned $13.8 million domestically this weekend, taking the fourth spot. 'Jurassic World Rebirth' followed with $8.7 million. The horror movie 'Together' had a strong debut weekend, coming in at sixth place and earning $6.8 million domestically, proof that August is a month for edgier and off-beat films, Dergarabedian said. 'That's what this month is about. It's not just about box office,' Dergarabedian said. 'It's also about providing really interesting, rewarding movie-going experiences for audiences.' Dergarabedian said he expects highly-anticipated movies hitting theaters in the next few weeks — including 'Freakier Friday,' and Zach Cregger's horror movie 'Weapons' — to give August a needed boost. The box office is currently up 9.5% from last year. With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' $40 million. 2. 'The Bad Guys 2,' $22.2 million. 3. 'The Naked Gun,' $17 million. 4. 'Superman,' $13.8 million. 5. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' $8.7 million. 6. 'Together,' $6.8 million. 7. 'F1: The Movie,' $4.1 million. 8. 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' $2.7 million. 9. 'Smurfs,' $1.8 million. 10. 'How to Train Your Dragon,' $1.4 million.
