Returning this summer unsure of where everyone stands, these housemates find themselves bonding over a growing wombmate and determined to get back to the carefree group that loves to send it.
Yellowjackets
Summer arrives and the Yellowjackets face a fragile victory – the brutal winter that nearly claimed them is finally behind them, but distrust in leadership and tension with the team jeopardize their chances of being rescued. In the present, long-buried secrets from their pasts begin to surface. As the women fight to keep their lives from unravelling, they must confront a chilling question: who are they really, and what dark truths are they hiding from each other and themselves?
New to the cast this season are Hilary Swank and Joel McHale. The third season of Yellowjackets premieres on Friday, Feb. 14 with two episodes on Crave. New episodes continue to stream weekly each Friday. A reminder for Canadians, new episodes of Yellowjackets streams on Crave and not Paramount+.

As of press time, Canadians will be able to catch Beyond the Gates through their local CBS feed, but I’ve been assured that a Canadian broadcaster will soon be announced for simulcast and streaming. Stay tuned to The TV Watercooler for more information leading up to the premiere.
