Cypress needed more, and she deserved more.
In fact, she wished for just that.
I want a really good show.

That wish was granted.
At the start of the series, Cypress Taissa is running to become a New Jersey state senator.
Shocking many, including herself, Tai wins the race, but at that point its too late.

Their get-together concludes with an especially twisted hunt, one that results in Natalies (Juliette Lewis) demise.
When Season 3 kicks off, forget politics.
When you look at a show likeYellowjackets, its abundantly clear that its a magical project for all involved.

In fact, Id dubYellowjacketsone of the best cast shows of all-time.
The series being a uniquely special opportunity wasnt lost on Cypress.
I was like, Oh geez, she wants something.

She said, Your grandmom is worried about you.
She wants you to talk to her.
I didn’t even question it.
I was like, Okay.
She said, She wants you to tell her what you want and make it big.
I’m gonna tear up saying this.
A wildly talented high school girls' soccer team become the unlucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Canadian wilderness.
I just was like, Okay.
I happened to own my grandmother’s piano.
I inherited it after she passed.
Like a month later, I got this show.
Yellowjacketsfeatures on-screen pairings for the ages.
Truly, every single 90s and present day combo is utter perfection.
I mean, it’s a horrible scene, but the tenderness she has.
She is very selfish.
She was kind of selfish then, but actually,she was very much everybody’s friend.
That’s what I see when I look at what Jasmins doing.
She was always there.
I remember she was the one asking why Jackie was out in the cold.
She was very much that.My Taissa is not that at all.
She’s the opposite.
Everything she does is for herself.
In addition to the 90s and present day pairings,Yellowjacketsalso has some top-tier couples in both timelines.
It was so exciting for me.
We have a beautiful story to tell.
But, yeah, that first moment walking into the video store, it was great.
I felt like, Yes!
I’ve got this great storyline and a great scene partner for however long we get to do this.
One biggie on that list?
However, we still dont know much about this other version of the character.
What sparks the switch to Other Tai?
What does Other Tai want?
There’s a chance!
We almost saw Taissa make due on Cypress statement in Episode 4.
It marks yet another example of Cypress and Ambroses chemistry electrifying a scene.
Cypress recalled:
I loved it.
It was a long day, so we were done.
We were tired, actually.
Im rooting for that aching love.
What Id give to see Taissa and Van walk off in the sunset together.
However, dark storylines certainly do not dictate the vibe on set.
I love being around all of them all day.
They make work so much fun.
you might hear muddled voices.
We had so much fun.
Eager to hear even more from Cypress about whats gone down inYellowjacketsSeason 3 thus far?
YellowjacketsSeason 3, Episodes 1 - 4 are now available to stream on Paramount+.
