‘Yellowjackets’ Season 2 Promises More Twists and Turns — Here’s How to Watch Without Cable

Yellowjackets promises even more plot twists and modern mysteries in its second season, which premieres Friday on Showtime.

Already renewed for a third season, the series travels between the past and present of a ’90s high school soccer team whose plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness. Twenty-five years after the tragedy, the adult survivors are still followed by the darkness they discovered in the wild and in themselves. The second season sees the teen survivors facing a harsh winter as the once-thriving team breaks out into savage clans.
