Hilary Swank Joins Yellowjackets Season 3 Cast

Oscar winner Hilary Swank has officially signed on to join the Yellowjackets Season 3 cast for the highly-anticipated next installment of Showtime‘s hit survival mystery thriller drama. Further details about Swank’s character remained under wraps, but she is expected to play a recurring guest star.

Should the show score another renewal, she reportedly has the option to become a series regular in Season 4, seemingly teasing her character’s potential significance to the overall story. This marks Swank’s first TV project after over a year since the ABC cancellation of the short-lived crime drama Alaska Daily, which only ran on-air for one season. She also recently starred in the inspirational drama film Ordinary Angels with Alan Ritchson.

Who is in the Yellowjackets Season 3 cast?

Yellowjackets currently stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, Lauren Ambrose, Simone Kessell, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Liv Hewson, Courtney Eaton, and more. The series is created and executive produced by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, with Jonathan Lisco serving as its showrunner. It is a production by Lionsgate Television.

“Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story, and coming-of-age drama, it tells 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,” reads the series’ synopsis. “The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.”
