“Yellowjackets” DVD Release Set for Summer 2022
With Season 2 getting ready to film this summer, the first season of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets” is now coming to DVD, the upcoming release announced by Decider this week.
The first season of Showtime’s hit series “Yellowjackets” arrives on DVD July 19 from Showtime, CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment.
You’ll also be able to get it on Blu-ray, “manufactured-on-demand.”
Two new featurettes will be included with the release:
- Yellowjackets: The Female Lens – We will hear from the star-studded cast and creators as they break down the making of Yellowjackets, highlighting the female-centric story.
- Yellowjackets: Favorite Moments – This compilation of the buzziest Yellowjackets moments will include exclusive interviews from the cast and crew as they reflect on impactful scenes throughout the season.
“Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.”
Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, and Juliette Lewis star.
Meagan Navarro wrote here on Bloody Disgusting last year, “The cast, the addictive ’90s soundtrack, the mystery, the layered horror, and the bursts of gore all combine to make this event television you should be watching if you’re not already.”

Watch the Opening ‘Mortal Kombat II’ Battle Scene Now Ahead of Physical Media Release in July
Sequel Mortal Kombat II is now available to watch at home on Digital before heading to physical media in July, but you can test your might now and watch the opening scene.
Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid returns to the helm for the new sequel from a script by Jeremy Slater (“Moon Knight,” Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire).
In Mortal Kombat II, the fan-favorite champions — now joined by Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) — are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.
Adeline Rudolph, Jessica McNamee, Josh Lawson, Ludi Lin, Mehcad Brooks, Tati Gabrielle, Lewis Tan, Damon Herriman, Chin Han, Tadanobu Asano, Joe Taslim, and Hiroyuki Sanada are also part of the ensemble cast of Mortal Kombat II fighters.
Watch the opening below, which introduces a young Kitana (Sophia Xu) as Emperor Shao Kahn (Martyn Ford) prepares to conquer her father, King Jerrod (Desmond Chiam), and her kingdom of Edenia. It sets the sequel’s entire plot in motion.
From New Line Cinema, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, Mortal Kombat II is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”
