The reign of the Antler Queen has proven to be incredibly successful. Recently, Paramount+ released impressive streaming statistics for Season 3 of <em>Yellowjackets</em>, revealing that fans are more enthusiastic than ever. Following the release of the Season 3 finale titled “Full Circle,” the series reached a remarkable milestone of 3 million viewers within just seven days, setting a new record for this gripping thriller series. This figure represents an impressive 52% increase compared to the viewership from the Season 2 finale. Currently, Showtime has not disclosed whether the show will return for another season.

In addition, Paramount+ highlighted that the overall performance of Season 3 is a cause for celebration: it has become the most-watched season in the show’s history. While the streaming service did not provide specific viewership figures, they did mention that their metrics are based on a seven-day viewing window following the release of new episodes. At this time, the series featuring Christina Ricci (known for her role in Wednesday) and Melanie Lynskey (from The Last of Us) ranks as the second most-streamed original series for Showtime, only trailing behind Dexter: Original Sin.

In an official statement, Chris McCarthy, co-CEO of Paramount Global and President of Showtime and MTV Entertainment Studios, commended the exceptional work of the series’ showrunners, Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson. He emphasized the potential of captivating stories that incorporate unique elements. McCarthy stated:

“’Yellowjackets’ is a fiercely original, genre-bending phenomenon – an electrifying blend of psychological horror, survival thriller, and coming-of-age drama from the brilliant minds of Ashley and Bart, brought to life by our stellar cast. Season 3 drove record numbers and was key to maintaining Paramount+’s ranking as a top three SVOD for original series’ minutes, proving the effectiveness of our differentiated strategy with fewer, bigger, breakthrough series.”

Will ‘Yellowjackets’ Be Renewed for a Highly Anticipated Season 4?

Fans are eagerly anticipating official confirmation from Showtime regarding whether the story of the Antler Queen and the enigmatic narrative will continue. The impressive viewership statistics are undoubtedly a favorable consideration that will influence the network’s decision. It is crucial for the series to make a return, particularly since there are numerous unresolved plot threads that need addressing before we can bid farewell to these beloved characters. Should Season 4 receive the green light, it’s likely that we will witness more of Hilary Swank (famous for her role in Million Dollar Baby), who was introduced in the latter part of Season 3 as the adult version of Melissa (TK).
