Earlier this month, we learned that Nia Sondaya (Teen Akilah) was promoted to a series regular for the fourth and final season of series co-creators and co-showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's Yellowjackets. With the series set to end its run later this year, we've got another update to pass along on the writing side of things. On Tuesday, writer Emily St. James took to social media to announce that St. James and Libby Hill (S03E06: "Thanksgiving (Canada)") had wrapped their run in the show's writers' room on Friday, February 13th. "Last Friday was [Libby Hill] and my last day in the 'Yellowjackets' writers room EVER. I'm so lucky to have been a tiny part of one of my favorite shows, and I am hopeful for whatever comes next," St. James wrote in a post on Bluesky from earlier today. "Please consider us for one of the septillions of writing jobs out there right now!!!"

"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 when the news was first announced that the series would be ending with a fourth season. "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."
