“Yellowjackets,” Showtime’s hauntingly gripping series, continues to astound and captivate viewers with complicated character arcs, chilling flashbacks, and well-crafted dramatic intensity. Deepening the twisted plot, stars Sophie Nélisse and Steven Krueger recently weighed in on some significant events from the latest episodes. In a revealing discussion, they delved into their characters’ mindsets surrounding the twisted trial of Coach Scott, simply describing it as “f—ed up.”
The trial, designed more like a kangaroo court, brought into sharp focus the tragic descent of a band of plane crash survivors pushed to the brink of their morality and sanity. This disturbing event set the stage for Shauna’s (played by Nélisse) unexpected power grab, a move that continues to ripple across both past and present timelines. As Krueger reflected upon the grim incident, he highlighted the struggling humanity and survival instinct that provides a palpable tension to the series. Concurrently, Nélisse praised the writers for crafting such a layered character like Shauna, who’s both vulnerable and formidable, capable of eliciting fear and sympathy–a testament to the intriguing chaos that “Yellowjackets” revels in.
