It's almost time to bring to a close the story of the hardened young survivors trapped in the remote North American wilderness, as Paramount has officially set a date for when the fourth and final chapter of the Yellowjackets saga will debut on the streaming platform.

The plan is for the last round of episodes to begin airing on the streaming platform from November 20, so in just under three months time, and as for what this final slate of episodes will present to fans, we've been given both a teaser trailer to gawk at and a brief synopsis too.

"As the survivors race to bury their sins before rescue arrives and an old flame roars back into town with plans of her own. Turns out not every homecoming is a joyous one, and this one's going to sting."

This final season will reunite much of the cast and will include a few new faces, not least including Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Warren Kole, Kevin Alves, Sarah Desjardins, Nia Sondaya, Jenna Burgess, and Hilary Swank.

Expect a more comprehensive slate of trailers in the weeks ahead as we get closer and closer to the long-awaited return of the show on Paramount+ (and SkyShowtime for areas without the streaming platform).
