"Yellowjackets" returns to Paramount+ with Showtime for a new season this Valentine's Day. See what the highly anticipated season has in store.

Yellowjackets' Season 3 opened with just above 2 million viewers and achieved the series' most-streamed episode ever.

In the third episode of this season of “Yellowjackets,” the Wilderness is playing mind games, but so are the girls. Which is worse? The fever dreams involving talking llamas and dangerous slap bracelets? Or the back-stabbing that comes with psychological manipulation? Honestly, it’s a toss up.

Yellowjackets Season 3 is off to a buzzy start. The premiere episode generated 2.03M viewers across its debut weekend on Paramount+ with Showtime, per Paramount Global.

That leaves about 1.94 million viewers via streaming, which is a record for any episode of Yellowjackets. The season three premiere’s streaming audience grew by 58 percent vs. the season two opener in March 2023 (which, it should be noted, was before Showtime’s direct-to-consumer streaming service was fully integrated into Paramount+).
