‘Yellowjackets’ Creators Say Second Season Will Get “Weirder” and “Darker”

Published

Yellowjackets

Showtime’s Yellowjackets was our favorite thing on television over the holiday. It was a perfect series to watch as temperatures dropped outdoors.

The series was entirely filled to the brim with mystery and intrigue. It was something that we were proudly and constantly sharing on the site a year prior to its release.

It was something that had all the trimming of something spectacular. Lo-and-behold, the first season was brilliant throughout and only managed to become better as it progressed.

A cross-pollination of Alive, Lord of the Flies, The Craft, and Switchblade Sisters. It’s very good and very cool. Now that the first season has ended, the creators chatted with Deadline about what to expect from the already greenlit second season.

Co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson told Deadline that season two is going to be “darker” and “weirder” than its first season.

For a series that begins with a plane crash and is initially totally concerned with survival and sussing out the girl’s relationships, it quickly becomes something much more intriguing and supernatural.

Similar to Lost and its plane crash in a mystical location, Yellowjackets has a backsplash built from the same fun mystery. It even loosely works like Lost’s interchanging timeline narrative structure.

“When we first pitched the show, we said we wanted to make a show about the best and the worst that people are capable of,” Lyle told Deadline.

“Ultimately, whenever you’re telling stories, you’re really trying to examine, and to some extent, interrogate yourself. I think that ideally, this premise gives us a lot of room to really investigate that concept and to do it in a way that is hopefully really fun as opposed to kind of academic or overly intellectual.

I think that we’re just so excited to keep playing in this world. There are a lot of opportunities where we’re going and where we’ve been planning to go get darker and get weirder. We’ll likely get a lot more of both of those things but hopefully, we can keep it fun.”

The season ended with a huge cliffhanger that managed to reveal the answers to four big questions very rapidly. The relief of having those questions answered was short-lived of course. Like most well-written shows the answers provided only lead to more questions.

If you haven’t watched the first episode of Yellowjackets yet, head over to HERE to watch the first episode for free. There is still no word on when the series will return to Showtime but we will keep you updated.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
