Yellowjackets cast reveal highly-anticipated final season "feels like a completely different show"

Yellowjackets is coming to an end with the series' fourth and final season premiering next Friday (20 November). After three seasons of the teen girls trapped in the wilderness, season four will see them finally rescued a return to a life that feels anything but normal.

Speaking ahead of the fourth season's debut, Sophie Nélisse, who plays the teen version of Shauna, told The Hollywood Reporter: "It felt like a completely different show. Even just acting with other actors; having a mom, being clothed in normal teenager clothing.

"It was sad because that’s the whole core of our show, for us, was this group and as fun as it was to each have our own storylines and our own paths, there was something very weird about not sharing these scenes with all of them at the same time."

Sophie Thatcher, who plays teen Natalie, joked that being back at high school was more horrifying than being trapped in the wilderness after a plane crash.

"I miss the woods. I’m like, God, school? Get me out of here!" the actress said. "Shooting in a high school was horrible.

"Looking up at the ceiling and the terrible florescent lighting. I will take the wilderness any day. Cover me in dirt. Anything to not go back to high school."

Meanwhile, the teens' adult counterparts will still have a lot to deal with in season four with Melanie Lynskey, who plays adult Shauna, saying of the script: "I thought: Oh my God, what are we doing? I thought: This is amazing. I thought: I’m terrified. It was a real journey but I like where it ended up."

It also warns that "not every homecoming is a joyous one, and this one's going to sting".

The show's stacked cast includes Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress and Jasmin Savoy Brown, alongside Thatcher, Nélisse, and Lynskey,
