Where Does the Story Go in Season 4?
Fans have been waiting eagerly to know if the story continues after season 3. The finale left the 1996 storyline with Shauna embracing the title of Antler Queen among the remaining survivors and the newly joined Hannah.
However, the others cut Shauna’s reign short by helping Natalie call for help using Hannah’s research party’s satellite phone.
In the present timeline, Tai and Misty are plotting to take care of Shauna, as she once again embraces her mantle. The 1996 timeline has seemed to enter its final stages, with just months before they are saved in December 1997.
All eyes are now on who survives the experience, and whether Shauna’s dark side will wreak havoc once again in the present.
Thoughts on Season 4 Renewal
While many viewers are excited about the Yellowjackets season 4 renewal, there were many lingering questions answered by the end of season 3. This includes the deaths of two survivors, leaving Shauna, Tai, Misty, and Melissa as the final four members of the team still alive.
The show was originally conceived to have five seasons, and it should stay true to those plans. This means that season 4 could be the beginning of the end for one of the best TV thrillers in recent years.
