Yellowjackets is a runaway hit for SkyShowtime as Season 2 is the most-watched title in Sweden in May

The critically acclaimed and Emmy® nominated SHOWTIME® series has now become the most-watched TV series on SkyShowtime in Sweden in May

The highly anticipated finale of Yellowjackets season two premiered on SkyShowtime recently and the series generated strong viewership in the region. The second season of this must-see Emmy^® nominated psychological horror series was the most popular title on the platform in May. Local critics praised the new season which received several 5-star reviews, where it was described as “the best TV show you probably aren't watching" (Sweden, Aftonbladet).

Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (Narcos), Yellowjackets stars Emmy nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Melanie Lynskey (Castle Rock), Oscar^® and Emmy nominee Juliette Lewis (Camping), Emmy nominee Christina Ricci (Z: The Beginning of Everything) and Tawny Cypress (Unforgettable). Lauren Ambrose (Six Feet Under, Servant) and Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi) have also joined the second season as series regulars, along with Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) in a season long guest arc.  Yellowjackets is distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.

Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, Yellowjackets is 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. 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.  

Season two also stars Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief), Jasmin Savoy Brown (The Leftovers), Sophie Thatcher (Prospect), Samantha Hanratty (Shameless), Courtney Eaton (Mad Max: Fury Road), Liv Hewson (Santa Clarita Diet), Steven Krueger (The Originals), Warren Kole (Shades of Blue) and Kevin Alves (Locke & Key).

The first two seasons of Yellowjackets are available to stream now, only on SkyShowtime.
