For a few certain things, we just knew that we had to answer a certain number of questions or else we would try the audience’s patience more than we wanted to?

I don’t think it’s really a spoiler to say that she will kind of figure prominently into season two.

One of the things that we’re trying to explore in the show is this idea of the supernatural or the spiritual or the things that are beyond our understanding.

What those things are or like what those things are sort of pointing to and what it would mean for them to be real.

What is happening and what is the cause of that is obviously something that people kind of do interpret along a pretty wide range, calling it a genuine sort of like religious adjacent experience or some kind of psychotic break.

To be quite frank, we in the writer’s room often have this debate about what these things are or could be and I think that there are different interpretations and I think the audience will have their different interpretations.

DEADLINE: Can we expect to see anymore of Ella as Jackie in season two, in flashbacks.

DEADLINE: It also seems that Shauna’s heart necklace has some kind of meaning, given that anyone else who’s worn it has met an unkind fate.

NICKERSON: We definitely want the necklace to be a sort of bouncing ball that the audience is keeping an eye on.

The details and a lot of things that are threaded in are often kind of intentional.

LYLE: I think that one thing that we’re very interested in exploring and interrogating with this show is belief and what we believe in and how that shapes our world for you and how it shapes our actions, our behavior.

There are a couple talismans in the show and I think that Jackie’s necklace is one of them and Van’s bone necklace.

Objects can hold meaning in a number of different ways, whether it is the meaning that we ascribe to them, the context in which you came into possession of an object, we care deeply for objects in our lives in many different ways and they mean different things to us, and so, that is something that we’re kind of playing with in terms of these things on the show.

For her to sort of like grapple with and reckon with what that means for her career as a politician, as a person, will very much be something that we’ll be trying to sort of like explore in season two.

LYLE: I think that in terms of Sammy and Simone, Taissa cares for her family very deeply but has found that there’s this sort of growing disconnect and divide between the life that she wants to have and the person she actually is?

NICKERSON: I think what the show always kind of aspires to do is continue to evolve and become more itself but also have a tremendous continuity with what came before.

I think that that kind of trajectory will continue to hopefully keep the show – you don’t have to completely start from scratch each season.

Hopefully, this sort of the tone and the feel of the show will continue to become fuller and more itself.

DEADLINE: Given the reception of Yellowjackets, especially online, there’s probably incentive for you to kick things up a couple of notches for Season 2. .

I think that ideally this premise gives us a lot of room to really investigate that concept and to do it in a way that is hopefully really fun as opposed to kind of academic or overly intellectual.

I think that we’re just so excited to keep playing in this world.

We’ll likely get a lot more of both of those things but hopefully we can keep it fun
