Only days after learning that Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's Yellowjackets would be returning with two episodes on Friday, February 14th (streaming and on-demand) and Sunday, February 16th (on-air debut), we're getting word of a major casting promotion. Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Sarah Desjardins (Callie, daughter of Melanie Lynskey's Shauna) has been promoted to series regular with an expanded role during the third season.

The Emmy Award-winning series is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans while also tracking the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over. Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, the third season will pick up from the jaw-dropping Season 2 finale and focus on the fallout and what the future could hold at this point.
