About Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets is a survival thriller with a unique blend of character drama and dark comedy. It follows a girls’ high school soccer team whose plane crashes in the wilderness. The show alternates between two timelines one set in 1996, as the girls try to survive, and the other set 25 years later in 2021, when their dark past catches up with them.

Fast forward to the present day, the survivors are haunted by the secrets of their time in the wilderness. Blackmail, conspiracy, and emotional scars shape the storyline.
Swank continues to shine in both films and TV. Ordinary Angels showcased her in a touching story of faith and resilience, while Alaska Daily featured her as a determined journalist investigating unsolved cases.
