Yellowjackets Season 2 Interview: Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liv Hewson, Sophie Thatcher

The 1996 characters on Yellowjackets have all been through a lot, but Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liv Hewson, and Sophie Thatcher were quick to pinpoint specific life moments that heavily influence every decision Taissa, Van, and Natalie make out in the wilderness in the second season.
Season 2 of the hit Showtime series kicks off about two months after Jackie’s (Ella Purnell) death. Hope of rescue is long gone, the region is covered in snow, it’s nearly impossible to find food, and there’s an increasing sense of darkness that’s heavily influencing the girls’ day-to-day and group dynamic. Natalie is struggling with the lack of game to hunt and refuses to resort to Lottie’s (Courtney Eaton) rituals to increase hope of finding some. Meanwhile, Taissa’s sleepwalking episodes are becoming more and more intense with Van doing everything in her power to keep her safe but also trying to figure out why they’re happening.
During the non-spoiler portion of my conversation with Brown, Hewson, and Thatcher, the three pinpointed the particular events their characters experienced in Season 1 that they found most heavily influencing their performances and Tai, Van, and Natalie’s decisions while trying to navigate the new threats Season 2 poses.

Oh Liv is being modest! They were kept in the show not because of luck, but because of their talent 😊

[@doublefeature]

truly. i heard after they improved a scene in s1, they decided to keep her. Lauren Ambrose has a job because of LIV!

*they. this is the much feared pronouns police, please be careful next time.

[@doublefeature]

@@migratory.114 no i literally appreciate being called out. even when i'm part of the community and i know the pronouns, i still forget.

[@peri_gee]

@@doublefeature whoa look at that! A wholesome (and succinct) exchange about learning a person's pronouns. Happy to see this fandom is a civil one.

[@migratory.114]

happy to help!

Whooah Liv Hewson’s point about the parallel caretaker role Van has with her mom and Taissa is so strong!! Young Van and Natalie are by far my favourite characters

[@chasehedges6775]

Sophie Thatcher is sooo cute. She was sooo adorable in Book Of Boba Fett

[@Iker122]

And she was amazing in Prospect (2018) with Pedro Pascal.. her first feature film

[@danielleburnsed7524]

All three of them are so beautiful and talented and I hope to see them in more upcoming film and TV.

Peri, you are so lucky to be able to interview the coolest people. I started watching Yellowjackets after I saw Scream 5. I am a huge fan of Jasmine Savoy Brown and now I also love Yellowjackets.
