Yellowjackets Star Promises Fans "Incredibly Amazing" Final Season

Yellowjackets' Samantha Hanratty (Teen Misty) took to TikTok to share how she was feeling about the series coming to an end with Season 4.


Shortly after series co-creators and co-showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson announced that Yellowjackets would be ending its run with the 2026-premiering Season 4, series star Samantha Hanratty (Teen Misty) took to TikTok to share how she was feeling the same way that a lot of others – especially the fans – are feeling. "So, as you can see, we just got the news, and it looks like all of you did too. This is gonna be the final season of 'Yellowjackets,' and I don't really know how to take it in. Clearly, I'm very emotional, and I know that all good things must come to an end. I'm just extremely, extremely grateful to have been a part of this show," Hanratty shared. "I'm kind of in a mourning process at the idea that it's gonna be over, but I just wanna tell you all how incredibly grateful I am for this show, for the opportunity, for this incredible fanbase, and I promise you, we are going to make this last season so incredibly amazing. And I'm so excited to start working on it."

"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. "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."
