After hearing that the riveting news was official, fans tried to dig even deeper to find out when exactly the unexpected episode would debut. However, with the series' staff currently on the picket line, Ashley Lyle told fans they'll have to wait a bit longer for the treat. An inquisitive viewer asked Lyle directly for the release date, only to be illuminated by the current events dominating the media landscape.
"Closer to S3. I'm not being coy, there's a strike and things are complicated," Lyle told to eager fans on Twitter. While this may not be the news we were hoping for, the revelation of the elusive bonus episode should whet the audiences' appetite until its thrilling debut. Some have also begun speculating what the current episode is about including a backstory surrounding the body of the survivor the team found in the cabin. That eerie detail would neatly thread the two seasons together, especially after Coach Ben (Steven Krueger) burned down the "Yellowjackets" home in reaction to their horrific feast.
We'll have to wait until the premiere to find out for sure as we stay tuned for more information about the exciting bonus episode. While we wait, "Yellowjackets" Seasons 1 and 2 are currently streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime.
