“The Yellowjackets barely made it through summer, but now as winter begins to bite, we’ll see if hunger and desperation turn into full-on psychosis,” the official description reads. “Meanwhile, 25 years later, each survivor must determine if the darkness is coming for them or from them.”
Along with giving fans of the series a look at the troubles facing the survivors of the fated plane crash, the trailer also teases the return of the show’s simultaneously creepy and funny tone, all set to Florence + the Machine’s cover of the No Doubt classic “Just a Girl”.
“I’m such a huge fan of ‘Yellowjackets’ and this era of music, and this song especially had a huge impact on me growing up, so I was thrilled to be asked to interpret it in a ‘deeply unsettling’ way for the show,” Florence Welch said of their cover song in a statement to Variety. “We tried to really add some horror elements to this iconic song to fit the tone of the show. And as someone whose first musical love was pop-punk and Gwen Stefani, it was a dream job.”
