Yellowjacketsseason 2 proves that what happened in the wilderness did not stay in the wilderness.
A trailer for the Showtime original series teases the dark drama set to come, with pieces of the women’s harrowing past continuing to seep into their “normal” adult lives.
“Once upon a time, there was a place called the wilderness. It was beautiful, but it was also violent and misunderstood,” young Vanessa (Liv Hewson) tells her fellow, stranded soccer teammates in a desolate cabin. “And it waited and waited to befriend whoever arrived.”
Gorgeous scenery from the snowy landscape is interrupted throughout the trailer with violence, death and cult-like rituals. There’s slicing of hands, masked leaders and even a chant: “We hear the wilderness and it hears us.”

Flashbacks find the women in adulthood, though they’ve tried to leave the months of survival in the woods. “I thought we left it there when we were rescued,” adult Lottie (Simone Kessell) says in a voiceover. “But now, I realize, we brought it back with us.”

And though their secrets were safe for years, what truly happened is bubbling to the surface. “You’re a murderer,” Callie (Sarah Desjardins), Shauna’s daughter, says to her mom.
“No, no no no,” Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) responds. “I mean, shoot — yes.”
It appears not all bloodshed remains in the past, either. A quick glimpse into the hectic trailer shows blood on adult Lottie’s hands, and Natalie unwillingly restrained to a bed.

The trailer ends with a nauseating scene of the stranded girls carrying the body of one of their teammates on a wooden rod. As viewers already know from season 1, the still-unidentified dead girl became a meal shortly after her death.
