The Yellowjackets season 3 finale delivered shocking twists and finally provided answers to lingering mysteries that have kept fans on the edge of their seats since the first season. The cast, including Melanie Lynskey, Simone Kessell, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Nélisse, and others, shared their reactions to the explosive finale in a recent chat with People magazine.
Jasmin Savoy Brown, who plays one of the central characters, recalled her reaction to the finale, admitting that she was so stunned by the plot developments that she “dropped” or threw away her script in disbelief. “It’s a big one. That one’s a doozy. I think people will be screaming at their TVs, like, oh my God, it’s such a good ending,” she said, teasing the intensity of the final moments.
Courtney Eaton, who portrays Lottie, described the season three finale as “badass,” while Kevin Alves, who plays Travis, expressed feeling “satisfied” with how everything wrapped up. He believes the fans will feel a mix of happiness and frustration, commenting, “They’ll be so happy and then so mad” at the same time. The finale definitely left viewers with plenty to digest, and some might have been left scratching their heads, wanting more answers.
One of the biggest mysteries from the show was finally solved: the identity of the girl who tragically fell into the trap in the snowy wilderness. It turned out to be none other than Mari (Alexa Barajas), whose death had haunted the group of survivors since the first season. Additionally, the eerie sounds that had echoed through the woods throughout the series were revealed to be caused by mating Arctic Banshee frogs, a twist that surprised many viewers.
Perhaps the most significant revelation was the true identity of the Antler Queen — none other than Shauna, who has now taken the position as the leader of the cannibalistic survivors. This shocking twist has left fans eager to see how Shauna’s leadership will play out in future seasons.
Steven Krueger, who played Coach Ben Scott (until his character was killed off in episode 6), commented that the finale was all about “payoffs.” “We finally get some answers to what happened out there, how it happened,” he explained. The season brought long-awaited clarity to some of the show’s biggest questions.
Yellowjackets season 3 is currently streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime and Amazon Prime Video, and fans are already buzzing about what’s to come next.
