The first question is for both of you.

What are you most excited for people to see in Season 3?

You’ve got to wait for it!

A wildly talented girls high school soccer team become the unlucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Canadian wilderness.

ALVES: I’m really excited for that mid-season point.

You know what I’m talking about.

It’s going to be really cool to watch fans react to what comes this season.

I can’t say it’s going to end well for him, but we’ll see.

Lottie appointed Natalie as the new Antler Queen.

In the first two episodes, she kind of takes the reins of the group.

because she wants to see how far this goes?

THATCHER: I don’t think she wants it.

I don’t think it’s the best job in the world.

ALVES: She’s good at it, though.

THATCHER: She is good at it.

You see that in the first episode.

She’s done a lot, and they’ve made a lot of improvement.

Yeah, there was a huge transformation, right?

THATCHER: Yeah, theyre kind of thriving.

I think this is the best point you see them at, which is interesting.

ALVES: Not for long.

THATCHER: Not for long.

Will The Group Ever Unite As One Again?

There’s too much conflict now.

There’s clearly a divide going on in the first couple of episodes.

Can you talk a little bit about that?

THATCHER: Shauna and Natalie are really butting heads because she wanted to be Antler Queen.

She thought because she endured so much that she should have had that.

But instead, Natalie has it, so that’s really a lot of tension.

There’s too much conflict now for it to come back to a cohesive group.

[Laughs] It’s impossible with that stuff.

So, that was tough to shoot.

But, looking forward to seeing it.

It works, I can tell you.

That was hard as an actor.

YellowjacketsSeason 3 is now streaming on Paramount+.
