“Yellowjackets”: Tensions Reach a Boiling Point in This Sunday’s Season Finale [Trailer]

Published

So many questions answered, yet so many remain heading into the season finale of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets.” Ahead of this Sunday’s finale, a new promo below teases the fallout from the insanity of “Doomcoming,” the penultimate episode that sent the characters teetering past the threshold of sanity.

In the season one finale: “On the night of their 25-year class reunion, the Yellowjackets navigate damning evidence, false alibis and a dubious attempt to “heal.” In the wilderness, the Doomcoming fallout finds everything firmly off the rails as simmering resentments come to a head.”

The episode’s title, “Sic Transit Gloria Mundi,” is a Latin phrase that translates “Thus passes the glory of the world.” What’s intriguing about that is that it was used in papal coronation ceremonies, so it seems likely that we’ll finally see the crowing of the Antler Queen in this episode. Also interesting to note is that the finale is directed by Eduardo Sánchez (The Blair Witch Project).

Will all questions get answered? Probably not, but luckily Showtime already renewed “Yellowjackets” for a second season. That means it’s not too late to catch up to one of the most riveting mystery box shows in recent memory.

The series was created by Ashley Lyle Bart Nickerson (“Narcos”), described as being “equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama.”

Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, and Juliette Lewis star.

“Yellowjackets” airs Sundays on Showtime.

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation

I'm the Grim Reaper

The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.

The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”

The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”

Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.

The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.

Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
