Yellowjackets has been filming for a couple of months now, and it seems like there is a new solid member that might be roped up, tied up, useless in a 12 months.

As initially reported by Deadline yesterday, Joel McHale, finest identified for his function because the ever-asshole Jeff Winger on Group, has joined the third season of Yellowjackets’ third season in a visitor function. The official Yellowjackets Twitter account confirmed the information somewhat bit later within the day, splicing images of McHale amongst footage of the present’s opening, saying “Welcome to the hive” within the caption. Particulars of his character have not been shared as of but, however contemplating it is McHale, we are able to in all probability assume he is some type of asshole-type character, an archetype he appears to seek out himself slotting into fairly ceaselessly.

McHale joins an already robust solid, made up of actors like Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nelisse, Liv Hewson, Ella Purnell, and Lord of the Rings’ Elijah Wooden. For those who have not seen the present, it takes throughout two cut-off dates, one set within the Canadian wilderness in 1996 the place a gaggle of highschool ladies crash landed and need to survive, the second timeline returning to a number of the similar girls 25 years later in 2021 as they take care of the ramifications of what happened all these years in the past.

The present’s first season got here out again in 2021, its second ending Could 2023. It will possible be a bit longer of a wait till season 3 is launched although, as final 12 months’s author’s strike put a pause on the present’s pre-production schedule. Manufacturing started again in Could of this 12 months, so hopefully it will not be too lengthy till we get to select issues again up once more.

We must also be seeing McHale return to his function as Jeff Winger someday within the subsequent few years, because the long-awaited Group film is presently in pre-production. Six seasons and a film, in any case!
