New TV Trailers: Full Look at "Yellowjackets: Season 3," Peyton List Returns in Paramount+’s "School Spirits: Season 2" and BBC's New "Miss Austen" Miniseries
"Yellowjackets: Season 3": Secrets, Betrayal, and Bloodshed as Showtime’s Hit Series Returns — Featuring New Cast Member Hilary Swank — Streaming February 14 on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME
How do you keep a secret from coming out? Well, you could come clean... but nah! Better to make sure everyone who knows the secret is dead, like disco. That seems to be the idea behind Season 3 of Yellowjackets, where everyone is on the chopping block... and no one is remotely safe from being picked off for good. The hit Showtime series is coming back in a couple of weeks with its third season, and you better believe "bodies will be hitting the floor!"
Filled with 90s nostalgia as it jumps from the past to present, and vice versa, the show, created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, became an instant success for Showtime because it centered around a tantalizing premise: what if members of a high school girls' soccer team in the mid-'90s survived a devastating plane crash and had to survive in the wilderness for 19 months, where they turned into tribalistic cannibals, eating each other? Fast forward 30 years later, the girls—now women with families of their own—are back with society living their lives like normal people. But now, a mysterious person with a huge vendetta is not only threatening to reveal their darkest secret but also killing the surviving members one by one.
In the last two seasons, the women have been doing everything in their power to keep that secret from coming out, relying on the killer instinct that kept them alive decades ago. And it's been a hell of a ride. But if you still need a reason to watch Season 3, well, know this: Oscar-winner Hilary Swank joins this season as a character yet to be revealed. But from the looks of things, she doesn't escape without getting herself a little bloodied.
Starring Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, and Lauren Ambrose with Sophie Nelisse, Samantha Hanratty, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Liv Hewson playing the teen versions of their characters. Sophie Thatcher, Ella Purnell, Courtney Eaton, and Sarah Desjardins also co-star.
Yellowjackets: Season 3 arrives on Friday, February 14 with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME plan.
"School Spirits: Season 2": Cobra Kai's Peyton List Returns as a Teen Ghost Solving Supernatural Mysteries in New Season of Paramount+’s Hit Series — Streaming January 30 on Paramount+
With the hit Netflix show Cobra Kai already coming to a close, it seems actress Peyton List has successfully moved on. List, who played the badass fighter Tory Nichols in the Karate Kid spin-off series, is now leading her own show in the supernatural teen detective thriller School Spirits, which returns this month with its second season.
In this Paramount+ original series, List plays Maddie, a high-school misfit who unexpectedly dies and finds herself stuck in the afterlife. She is forced to investigate her possible murder with other teen spirits who are also trapped in the afterlife.
Season 2 revolves around Maddie trying to stop a ghost who has hijacked her body while her spirit roams in the afterlife, leaving her body under the control of the ghost in the world of the living. And you thought your high school years were bad?
Costarring Kristian Ventura, Sarah Yarkin, Milo Manheim, Kiara Pichardo, Nick Pugliese, and Rainbow Wedell, School Spirits is created by Megan Trinrud and Nate Trinrud. The show debuted on Paramount+ in March 2023, doing well initially but gaining an even bigger audience once it began streaming on Netflix, where season one is still available to watch.
School Spirits: Season 2 is arriving on Thursday, January 30th, exclusively on Paramount+.
"Miss Austen": Keeley Hawes and Patsy Ferran Explore the Untold Story Behind Jane Austen’s Lost Letters in BBC’s New Fictional Historical Miniseries — Premiering February 2 on BBC One
Who knew famed English novelist Jane Austen better than her sister, Cassandra? This new four-part BBC miniseries offers an artistic interpretation of why Cassandra Austen, Jane's older sister, famously burned a significant stash of her personal letters. Was it to protect Jane's privacy from a prying public, or could there have been more selfish reasons?
Based on Gill Hornby's 2020 historical fiction novel Miss Austen, which primarily gives a voice to Cassandra Austen and centers on her relationship with her sister Jane, the British miniseries stars Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard) as the older Cassandra Austen and Synnove Karlsen (Last Night in Soho) as the younger Cassandra. Jane Austen, meanwhile, is portrayed by Spanish-British actress Patsy Ferran (Firebrand, Jamestown), who seemingly plays her as a young, vibrant woman full of life and yet enigmatic—a writer who "understood affairs of the heart better than anyone."
Costarring Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), Mirren Mack (Sex Education), Kevin McNally (Pirates of the Caribbean), Max Irons (Condor), and Alfred Enoch (How to Get Away with Murder), the miniseries is brought to you by Scottish writer Andrea Gibb (Dear Frankie) and Irish director Aisling Walsh (Maudie).
Miss Austen is scheduled to premiere on Sunday, February 2nd, on BBC iPlayer and BBC One. As of yet, a U.S. release date has not been announced.
