One of the most interesting parts of “Yellowjackets” is the show’s alternate timeline. The series, centered around the Yellowjackets soccer team’s crash landing in the woods, tells the story in both the past and the present.
During the first season, it is revealed that Shauna (Sophie Nellisse/Melanie Lynskey), Tit (Jasmine Savoy Brown/Tony Cypress), Misty (Sammy Hanratty/Christina Ricci), and Natalie (Sophie Thatcher/Juliet Lewis) have successfully made it through. kicked out Jungle Alive. However, his experience of struggling to survive has continued to influence him years later into adulthood. The fact that we only see a few of the characters as adults makes us wonder what happened to the rest of the team after the accident. It’s possible we’ll learn they died in the woods sometime later, or maybe the show is saving their appearance for the right time in the present.
For example, Lottie (Courtney Eaton/Simone Kessel) was not revealed to have survived until the season one finale, and Lauren Ambrose’s appearance as an adult Van in season two confirmed that she too survived to adulthood.
Since the two actors play the same character throughout the series, scroll through the slideshow to see how the younger and older versions of Yellowjacket compare to each other.
