As fans of Paramount+ with Showtime and series co-creators and co-showrunners Ashley Lyle & Bart Nickerson's Yellowjackets wait to see what twists, turns, big reveals, and shocking moments that the fourth season and final season has to offer, series star Sophie Thatcher (Teen Natalie) offered an update on how much longer filming is expected to run, and shared what it's been like arranging her life around the series and what Melanie Lynskey has planned for when they wrap filming. In the latest edition of Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast, Thatcher shared that there were still "two or three months left" on filming at the time of the interview. "And it's just been very back and forth. Anytime I have a break with that because, you know, obviously, they have the present-day cast, and that… it's like a week of shooting," she added, opening up on what it's like working her life around her commitments to the show.
"So, I'll have these weeks off, and it's really confusing, being attached to something for so many years and having all this time off and trying to navigate a life outside of that, whilst also remaining in that." When it comes to the series ending its run, Thatcher shared that it "feels really exciting," but that "it's going to be so emotional" while the final days of filming near. "I already know that Melanie [Lynskey] is planning a karaoke party, and we've been doing a lot of karaoke. Karaoke's life," Thatcher added. "So I'm excited for that, and I'm going to be planning my songs for then."
