PARAMOUNT+ WITH SHOWTIME GREENLIGHTS SEASON FOUR OF YELLOWJACKETS
Season Three Set Record as the Most Watched and Most Engaged on Social
Production Dates to be Announced Shortly
May 20, 2025 – "YELLOWJACKETS has become a cultural juggernaut; with season three shattering all previous records, we are thrilled to announce its renewal for a season four on Paramount+," said Chris McCarthy, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of SHOWTIME/MTV Entertainment Studios. "Ashley and Bart have masterfully crafted an utterly singular, genre-defying phenomenon: a perfect alchemy of psychological horror, survival thriller and coming-of-age drama that continues to captivate audiences worldwide, brought to life by our extraordinarily talented and beloved cast."
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, YELLOWJACKETS 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. Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles their descent from a complicated yet thriving team to savage clans while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later. It proves that the past is never really the past and what began in the wilderness is far from over.
Season three marks the most-watched season ever, with the April finale becoming the most-streamed YELLOWJACKETS episode in series history. On social, season three stands as the most-engaged season ever for the show.
YELLOWJACKETS season three stars Emmy nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Melanie Lynskey, Emmy® nominee Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Emmy nominee Lauren Ambrose, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins and Simone Kessell, with Elijah Wood in a recurring role. Two-time Academy Award®-winning actress Hilary Swank guest stars this season along with Joel McHale and Ashley Sutton.
YELLOWJACKETS season three is executive produced by Lyle, Nickerson and fellow showrunner Jonathan Lisco. Drew Comins of Creative Engine also serves as executive producer along with Jeff W. Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon. The series is produced for SHOWTIME® by Lionsgate Television.
YELLOWJACKETS is distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution. All previous seasons of YELLOWJACKETS are available to watch now on streaming and on demand on Paramount+ with SHOWTIME. For a free trial, visit ParamountPlus.com.

Details for a raft of upcoming brand new episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes have emerged!
Fresh from celebrating its landmark 25th anniversary, details about the upcoming 16th season of SpongeBob SquarePants have been revealed!
Season 16 of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series will bring fans much more of the zany humor the long-running series has become renowned for, as well as callbacks to earlier SpongeBob episodes.
Interestingly, Nickelodeon is currently set to premiere the first episode from SpongeBob season 16 on Nicktoons on Wednesday, June 11, however, this is most likely a scheduling error that will be rectified closer to the broadcast date. If not, this would make season 16 the first new season of SpongeBob to premiere on Nicktoons in the U.S.
The new episode currently scheduled for June 11 is "Bizarro Bottom/Squidward's Tough Break". In "Bizarro Bottom", SpongeBob falls asleep on the bus and ends up in a strange town full of Bikini Bottom doppelgangers. Then in "Squidward's Tough Break", after Squidward loses his memory, he adopts a new tough guy persona. (#320)
Season 16 of SpongeBob will make its Nickelodeon debut on Friday, June 27. 2025 at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT) with the special "SpongeBob and Patrick's Timeline Twist-Up," where, when Patrick's time closet goes on the fritz, SpongeBob's history is re-written by time traveling interlopers. (#323-#324)
This season contains episodes from the first half of the show's fifteenth production season, however, Nickelodeon and Paramount have since started to cut new seasons into halves. This is to keep their sizes more consistent with the season lengths currently consumed on streaming services, such as Paramount+, where all shows ultimately end up.
