Yellowjackets season 2 trailer reveals cult leader Lottie, scarred Van

Season 2 of Yellowjackets is almost here, and the latest trailer for the pulse-pounding TV series shows us what Lottie Matthews has been up to since the ’90s plane crash that left only a few traumatized teen girl survivors resorting to cannibalism in the northeastern American wilderness.

Lottie is said to have been in charge of a group that looks like a cult in her years after surviving the trauma and as a child. Actress Simone Russell will bring a truly haunted vibe to the role, letting a few tears leak from her eyes in the trailer as she says, “I thought we left it there when we were rescued. But now I realize, we brought it back with us.”

Speaking of haunted, this trailer debuts a song that is a perfect example of trailercore; it’s a creepy, slowed-down version of No Doubt’s pop rock hit “Just a Girl” from 1995, performed by Florence and the Machine. You can stream the cover on all the major music platforms.

But let’s get back to this trailer, shall we? We get to see Lottie Matthews as an adult, and we also see Van (played by Lauren Ambrose). Taissa, played by Tawny Cypress, appears to be there to meet Van. It appears as though Taissa and Van might have a romantic rekindling this season — or at least, they apparently get close enough to engage in a consoling hug!

The trailer also shows us a snippet of conversation from a brand-new character played by Elijah Wood, who tells adult Misty (played by Christina Ricci), “Everybody’s hiding Something!” The first season of the show proved as much, and the second season is poised to see the show’s heroines unraveling more details about their shared traumatic past, even as loose threads like “What happened to Lottie?” get tied up.

Season 2 Yellowjackets Showtime premieres the episode on March 26th
