Yellowjackets Ending with Season 4 in 2026; Writers' Room Now Open

Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's Yellowjackets will be wrapping up its run in 2026 with Season 4, with the writers' room now open.

Series co-creators and co-showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's Yellowjackets will be coming to an end with the upcoming fourth season, Variety reports. The final season is expected to hit sometime in 2026, with the Season 4 writers' room now open. "After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we're excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of 'Yellowjackets' to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season," Lyle and Nickerson shared in a statement.

Lyle and Nickerson continued, "We've always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it's our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen. Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we're so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew, and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life. Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery and meal — the Hive is nothing without you! We can't wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it…delicious. All the best, A & B."
