The Wilds on prime is a must watch if you love the troubled teenage girl angst combined with stranded in the wilderness and trying to figure out both what happened and how to get home kinda vibe.

I’ll also throw out Class of ‘07 on prime, it’s a 10 year high school reunion where a flash flood that doesn’t seem to recede strands a graduating class with lots of unresolved personal and interpersonal issues trying to both get to safety, figure out if there’s still a society outside their school, and trying to survive each other. And it’s actually really funny too somehow

Only watched the first episode but good so far. Features Ella Purnell.

I'm enjoying From more each season, the current one is especially excellent so far. People are trapped in a town, there are monsters at night, and they have to work together to survive. Starring Harold Perrineau.

Some media recommendations where they pull all the gruesome stops!! No one is spared!

Books:

The sister novellas The Brotherhood of Mutilation and Last Days by Brian Evenson follows a man who is trapped at a cult where they believe that amputations bring you closer to God. Incredibly brutal, and they do not care about the ones you love.

The Long Walk by Stephen King is about a volunteer basis game where a hundred boys walk until only one is alive. You will have many favorites and the book does not care. Many vivid descriptions of gore and physical pain.

Under the Dome by Stephen King is a book that I haven’t read- I watched the show (bad) but the premise was undoubtedly done better in the book. A town wakes up one day and a giant dome is over their town, and weird things are happening.

Movies:

The Menu is about an exclusive restaurant retreat, like if Midsommar were about food. You will have a moment when you realize exactly what’s going down and nothing can stop it. You won’t be able to stop watching.

Cloverfield has a giant monster interrupting a party and destroying all of NYC. We watch a group of friends try to escape. It is filmed by handheld camcorder, Blair Witch style.

Shows:

Orphan Black issss a show about clones. I know that has nothing to do with Yellowjackets or survival, but it follows a group of clone sisters who find each other and try not to get killed while also living their lives. There is a huge underground mystery they need to untangle. Hilarious and great characters, amazingly written, lots of action and tension.

Heroes is when a bunch of people wake up with powers. Time travel, human lab experiments, crazy psycho villains etc.

The 4400 is ALSO when a bunch of people wake up with powers, but these people all went missing at some point in the last 100 years or so and now have all come back at the same time. Sort of a cop show, and explores unique powers and villains with backstory incredibly well.

Jericho is a show that immediately follows a town seeing a huge mushroom cloud, meaning that they are very likely the last people alive in America. Apocalypse show with Skeet Ulrich and Giancarlo Esposito.

Persons Unknown has several people wake up in a deserted town with no memory of where they are or how they got there. Psychological thriller, unfortunately cancelled after season 1 (but still worth a watch IMO)

Revolution is all of the power goes out. Some teens try to figure it out 15 years later. Also has Giancarlo Esposito (he’s just so good in sci-fi)

LOST obviously, plane crash on an island. Lots of mystery, also has a supernatural vs explainable element. I feel a little silly putting it here but I will just in case no one has heard of it. Top 3 show on this list for sure.

Battlestar Galactica (2007) is maybe the best show on my list. It’s a colony of people get bombed and have to venture out into space to find a new home while also having to consider the enemy. There are android people who want to kill them. Secretly a show about philosophy and theology. Start with the miniseries!! It is stupidly not in season 1, even though it is absolutely the first episode.

i feel like the wilds and the society are obvious ones, but if you like yellowjackets you’ll def be into them.

also, wrecked is a fucking HILARIOUS take on the lost vibe and i highly recommend it to anyone who likes single camera comedies and also yellowjackets

Agatha All Along!

No cannibalism, but if you like YJ there’s a good chance you’ll like AAA. It’s about five lady witches + one gay boi witch who go on a journey through a path in a magical forest called “the road.” Each witch has to undergo a trial testing their specific craft. The politics/teamwork (or lack there of) within the coven match YJ well.

It has a lot of comedic moments, but also often gets legit dark and—not a a spoiler cuz it’s in the first episode —most witches die on the road. Also some legit horror/almost each episode is meant to be an ode to different eras and sub genres of horror.

Also the cast is AMAZING; Patti Lupone, Aubrey Plaza, Kathryn (sp?) Hahn—really everyone is gifted. 

I haven’t looked at the other thread, but Santa Clarita Diet is funny and a little weird, it got canceled on a cliffhanger if I remember correctly, but Liv who plays young Van is in it and it’s pretty good!

Evil (TV series 2019-2024): A goofy, campy horror. A psychologist hired by a priest to investigate demonic possessions in modern day New York. The antagonist is played by Michael Emerson (Ben Linus from Lost, Harold from Person of Interest).

Agatha All Along: others have recommended this, I second it.

Reservation Dogs (TV Series 2021-2023): Focus on a group of Native American teenagers. A really heartwarming, lovely comedy with some supernatural elements. It also dealt with some serious, dark topics.

For the cannibalism aspect, maybe you'll like Bones and All by Luca Guadagnino.

Recommend The Power by Naomi Alderman (there is a TV show that has an S2 coming so good tideover when we’re all waiting for s4 in a few months.

Also for post apocalypse survival with cults and compelling female characters: Station Eleven (book and show)

For a female focused small town girls with messed up secrets story: Sharp Objects (protagonist reminds me of a grownup version of teenage Natalie, but not necessarily adult Nat)

YMMV with The Society on Netflix. It’s a bit lame compared to the rest but I don’t regret watching it.

I just read a book called The Whispers by Ashley Audrain and two of the characters gave me such adult shauna vibes.  Its about mothers and suburbia and expectations of womanhood and unlikeable women and there's a mystery/thriller vibe to it. Short quick read.

CW: pregnancy loss is one of the larger themes of one of the three women's story arcs, be aware.

also the book fantasticland has yellowjackets vibes. Takes place in a theme park after a huge hurricane traps some of the most very young staff inside it for 45 days and they descend into warring clans mostly based on where they worked in the theme park, one of which is the Shopgirls, who reminded me of the yellowjacket girls. Its told in documentary interview style form, each chapter a new interview with another survivor. Such a fun book.

You guys need to read The Grace Year by Kim Liggett. Is has major yellowjackets energy. Very cool little book.

*"The Instant New York Times Bestseller! Kim Liggett's The Grace Year is a speculative thriller in the vein of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Power.

Survive the year.

No one speaks of the grace year. It’s forbidden.

In Garner County, girls are told they have the power to lure grown men from their beds, to drive women mad with jealousy. They believe their very skin emits a powerful aphrodisiac, the potent essence of youth, of a girl on the edge of womanhood. That’s why they’re banished for their sixteenth year, to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage. But not all of them will make it home alive.

Sixteen-year-old Tierney James dreams of a better life—a society that doesn’t pit friend against friend or woman against woman, but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realizes that it’s not just the brutal elements they must fear. It’s not even the poachers in the woods, men who are waiting for a chance to grab one of the girls in order to make a fortune on the black market. Their greatest threat may very well be each other.

With sharp prose and gritty realism, The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.

“A visceral, darkly haunting fever dream of a novel and an absolute page-turner.” – Libba Bray, New York Times bestselling author"*

Penny Dreadful on Showtime!

I'll throw in my recommendation for Ella Purnell's series "Sweetpea" - she's not only British and believes she's ugly & invisible, so I'd say she is nothing like Jackie and a lot like Shauna. (Starz/Roku Channel). I appreciate a good black comedy.

Also enjoyed British police procedural miniseries 'Collateral' with Carey Mulligan, on Netflix. Not about a serial killer for a change, just politics/terrorism. It filled some kind of void now that 'The Agency' is between seasons.
I'll probably go back and rewatch Black Dove, it was that good.
Revisiting 'Bob Roberts' from 1992 this week, given everything it predicted about our current politics. It's on Vimeo.
The '68 musical 'Finian's Rainbow' was on TCM last night. It's hokey but entertaining; not bad, but dated -- it barely touches on its own racial themes in a mythical deep south. Petula Clark and Fred Astaire are a joy and the reason to watch.
Was amazed how much I'd forgotten about the story, even though I saw our school production several times in 7th grade and studied it in a film class in high school. Coppola directs, 3 years before 'The Godfather'.

Speak No Evil (available on Peacock!) scratched a certain YJ itch for me. Family meets another family on vacation and visits them on their farm off the beaten track, both real and metaphoric violence ensues. Foreboding atmosphere, slight mystery element, makes an overall statement on the nature of people. Fantastic acting. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would!

Books:

- Mexican Gothic - Silvia Moreno Garcia

- Her Body and Others Stories - Carmen Maria Machado

- Cursed Bunny - Bora Chung

- The Space Between Worlds - Micaiah Johnson

Lost!

• Over the Garden Wall: Animated mini-series from Cartoon Network starring Elijah and Melanie. It's about two brothers who become lost in the woods trying to find a way back home. The gang behind Yellowjackets have apparently seen it, and even though they aren't strikingly similar I think they share some elements that a fan could pick up on! It's on Hulu and DVD/Blu-ray. Zero gore and only as spooky as its PG-rating allows.

• Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: A six-issue comic with a sequel due out this summer. I've seen it described as Dexter meets the works of Richard Scarry. A serial killer who only hunts outside of her picturesque American small town must find out who's behind a recent string of horrific murders before someone accidentally stumbles upon what she's been up to. If you're not into furries/talking animal stories you might want to skip this one, but I thought that element brought it a little bit closer to Yellowjackets, as there's a slight theme of nature vs. society. Also in my mind Melanie would be voicing the main character if it was ever made into a TV series 🙂‍↕️. There's gore in this one. It's about a serial killer.

• The works of E.M. Carroll: A comic artist known for their chilling tales told through striking watercolors. You might've read their arguably most internet-famous work, His Face All Red, at one point. They have a website with several comics available to read (several are interactive), and three books: Through the Woods (anthology), When I Arrived at the Castle and A Guest in the House (both graphic novels that feature LGBT characters and elements). One of their comics was adapted for Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities which is on Netflix. Also I just discovered that they did artwork for the video game Gone Home, which isn't really at all Yellowjackets adjacent but I'd recommend watching a trailer and trying to avoid spoilers, see if it interests you. Level of gore and blood varies on the story.

• The works of Grady Hendrix: Going to be honest with you, there isn't much overlap between Hendrix and Yellowjackets (for now) other than he writes horror stories they heavily focus on female characters, but if that's enough for you then I'd definitely recommend him. I'd suggest starting with My Best Friend's Exorcism, which is roughly self-explanatory and takes place in the 80s during the Satanic panic. The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires is I think still his most famous work but I haven't read that one yet. Level of gore and blood varies depending on the story.

• Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth: A gothic story about three women coming together in the modern day to make a movie about a tragic accident that took place at an all girls' boarding school in 1902 that kicked off a series of increasingly unsettling events that led to the school's closure. There's mystery, girl-kissing, historical girl-kissing and bees in this one. From what I remember there's no blood or gore.

• Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt: Arguably not at all Yellowjackets-y, but if you like mystery and wandering through upstate New York, this might be your thing. It's told between split timelines, in the past a girl and her friend who have convinced themselves that they can talk with the dead ditch their foster home when a handsome stranger comes roving into town and embark on a seemingly aimless journey. In the present, the girl's niece who is now an adult and pregnant with her first child is suddenly reunited with her aunt and is set on a similar journey. No blood or gore.

I have to sort of explain my next ones. I don't think that if there's anything supernatural going on in YJ, that it will turn out to be based on any First Nations stories, and I think that the writers are aware of how problematic that would be and are avoiding it. That said, I'm sure we've all seen at least one person trying to theorize that there's some sort of connection, usually not out of active maliciousness. I'm also not touting myself as an expert in Indigenous horror but I've read a few books that I can recommend in the spirit of "hey, that's not what Yellowjackets is, but if you think you would be interested in horror stories by Indigenous authors, give these books a try!". I hope that makes sense!

• The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones: A story about four Blackfeet men who are faced with their past when it literally comes back to haunt and hunt them and their families. Heavy on blood and gore. I haven't read any of his other works but Jones is generally highly recommended from what I've seen.

• Sisters of the Lost Nation and Indian Burial Ground by Nick Medina: Both take place on the fictional Takoda tribe reservation in Louisiana but focus on different characters and families. In Sisters, Anna is a teenager struggling to fit in both on the reservation and at her predominantly white high school while trying to keep an eye on her classmate-approval-seeking younger sister. The recently opened casino on tribal land hasn't just brought in money, but lots of outsiders, and soon girls on the reservation start going missing. As Anna's fear for her sister grows, so do her own personal struggles, and she starts to wonder if those old stories her uncle used to tell her were just that. Less of a horror and more of a thriller, but there are supernatural elements.

• Noemi in Burial Ground's bright future is abruptly cut short when her boyfriend dies. The tragedy coincides with the sudden return of her uncle, Louie, who had moved off of the reservation over a decade ago. As Noemi struggles to make sense of her boyfriend's death, Louie is reminded of similar events from his youth which began with the desecration of several graves on the reservation. The two of them work together to unravel the truth as they're forced to confront their each individual realities. More of a horror story than Sisters, no heavy blood or gore from what I remember, but some of the deaths might be particularly upsetting.

Has anyone read Alive yet? Any endorsements?

Movies: Watermelon Woman and Go Fish - The former ofc was recommended by Van and rightfully so. Great movie about infatuation with an on-screen character, about racism in Hollywood (and in relationships), and film making in general. Go Fish is a classic set in the 90s, too. Fairly well known but if you haven't watched it then you should give it a try! Just a cute lesbian love story that also stars Guinevere Turner

Book: Into the Raging Sea - The true story of a container ship that was lost in hurricane Joaquin in 2015. They recovered the on-board recorder so the story is told with the actual dialogue of the crew as they approached their doom. Surprisingly captivating

Watched "Prospect" last night. Not bad for moderate-budget sci-fi. Sophie Thatcher stars.

I really enjoyed the comic book adapatations Papergirls (after reading the books); and 'Y: The Last Man (postapocalyptic America after almost every man on earth dies; Diane Lane as the president, Olivia Thirlby as her daughter) ... and both were canceled after one season which really sucked after starting to care about the characters. The young girls in the former, dealing with time travel (and their older selves), were really well portrayed.

Not exactly survival type of shows, but have a similar dark and mysterious vibe like YJ.

DARK

1899

I haven't seen this brought up anywhere on this sub so I would like to say I really LOVED 'High School', adapted from Tegan & Sara's memoir of their formative years in Alberta. One of the best shows of 2022; it is on Amazon Freevee, so no subscription required to watch. Both of them finding their way as queer kids amid all their other teenage insecurities is one of the major storylines.
I'm only an ally but it's important to have stories like this, as people with anti-queer/gay/trans sentiments, encouraged and egged on by politicians and the media they control, try to bully most of our free society out of existence.

Deadloch (TV): feminist, queer, (dark) comedy/crime thriller, majority female cast, Australian.

Mullholland Drive (film): queer, surreal/unsettling, female leads, Hollywood, drama/horror/thriller, David Lynch, deeper hidden meanings & mystery box elements (although some may find them frustrating or nonsensical). Probably only OK for folks 16+. Features one of the all-time best jump scares.

Picnic at Hanging Rock (book, then separately made into a film AND a 2018 series): majority female cast, likely queer coded (though not explicit d/t time period), mysterious, drama/tragedy, mystery box and bizarre elements (some may find it frustrating and too open-ended), definitely about how society relates to young girls and 'missing white woman syndrome.'

The Leftovers (the TV series- first season based on a book): surreal, atmospheric, strange disaster (2% of Earth's population suddenly vanishes), drama with some dark comedy, addresses the question of 'Is this supernatural, or is there a rational explanation?,' exploration of complex grief & nuanced mental health issues including cults, features Jasmin Savoy Brown (teenage Taissa) and also Carrie Coon (who's great) from the most recent White Lotus season.

The Descent (2005 film): fairly straight horror, claustrophobic, lost in nature, majority female cast, creatures/monsters, some interesting theory fodder if you're into theory type stuff. (Sequel's not worth it lol)

Annihilation (film): sci-fi horror with surreal elements, creatures, lost in nature, majority female cast, deals with themes of cancer/change/self-destruction. Probably only OK for folks 16+ (some material is arguably pretty disturbing). Another one of my favorite horror scenes is in this film.

Host (2020 film): straight supernatural horror/tech horror (all takes place on a Zoom chat during the 2020 lockdown), majority female cast, deffo jump scares, séance, the occasional fun stuff happening in the background.

Blackcoat's Daughter (film): straight supernatural horror/some drama, majority female cast, boarding school, religious horror.

Last but not least Sophie Thatcher in her two most recents Companion (my favorite in a long time) Heretic (even better when you watch her interview) 

Sofia Isella. She's an artist who does vaugely creepy music that's heavy on the performance art. Major Lottie vibes. I just got back from her show, and I'd sign up for her cult in a heart beat.

"But I'm A Cheelreader" is now on Paramount+. Stars Natahsa Lyonne. So yay - I FINALLY got to see this film!!! It has been on my list for so long now.

Melanie Lynskey had a really fun role in this film...and also this - Ru Paul is in it. He has a really, really fun role too.

I just watched Blink Twice and some things gave me yellowjackets vibes... anyone else??

The Way Home

The Last of Us on Max!

I am sure this is so old news but I love it! Season 2 starts the same day Yellowjackets ends.

[removed]

before anyone makes fun of the adam is javi theory, know that, the writers wanted that at 1st.

The 100

The society

The wilds

Lost (obviously)

If you like the adult timeline try Good Girls, very similar dramedy feel to it.

Other than her recco of Watermelon Woman, which I can't rate for its production values, I trust Van Palmer, especially re Party Girl:
https://www.facebook.com/share/r/18ysKnqPJZ/?mibextid=wwlfr

Sweetpea starring Ella Purnell (Jackie on Yellowjackets)

If you're still wanting that "Normal girl turns into a savage" energy, this will do it for ya.

In the absence of new YJ episodes, there are a couple of comics that YJ fans may (or may not) be interested in

Golden Rage by Chrissie Williams and Lauren Knight - Women of a certain age get put on an island away from society (& form their own) - the initial 5 issue run dates back to 2022, but there is a new 5 issue run that's just started this year. Whether or not this is well worth reading might depend on what they do in this second run

Chrissie Williams also worked as editor on the other title, which I absolutely loved;

Die by Kieron Gillen & Stephanie Han - This features a group of young people trying to survive in an unfamiliar & hostile environment, with supernatural elements & heavy literary allusions as well as interpersonal stories, psychology & unlaboured LGBTQ representation. It also features a past-&-current timeline plot device - ticks a lot of the same boxes as YJ, tells a very different story. I would recommend this to almost everyone in the sub, it is phenomenal (IMO) & wildly entertaining

Originally posted the above, which (rightly) was removed as recommendations belong here. Going to have to trawl through the rest of this thread now, as I wasn't aware of it previously

In response to my post, before it got taken down, u/LowIncomeWitch replied with the following:

"Deffo going to pick up Die, sounds amazing and I haven't read a comic in ages. I just posted this comment in another thread, but I've got some book recs as well!

• To be devoured by Sara Tantlinger - it’s about a woman who becomes obsessed with vultures. It’s only 90 pages but it packs a punch, and the writing is BEAUTIFUL.
• The Eyes are the Best Part by Monika Kim - the greatest example of “good for her”. Excellent revenge story that tackles misogyny and racism, particularly the fetishization of Asian women. Was my favorite read last year!
• Goddess of filth by V. Castro - really unique take on demonic possession
• Earthlings by Sayaka Murata - look up the trigger warnings ahead of time. Brutal depiction of abuse and disassociation to deal with the abuse. It is incredibly unique.
• I who have never known men by Jacqueline Harpmen - I consider this essential reading for everyone. A group of women are kept in a cage, they don’t know where they are or how they got there. It’s a story of survival and also innate sexual desire."

All best

Currently any movie Sophie Nelisse has been in is on my list because well I never realized how much of her work I’ve seen and not recognized. LIKE 47 meters down, the blue eyes and dirty blonde hair never let me connect the two but I knew she was familiar in Yellowjackets and now I know why!

Sound Of Violence with Jasmin Savoy Brown is AMAZING and is seriously underrated. The twist is sick like actually sick 😂 and the two lead females Jasmin and the blonde are amazing as always. The lead cop is a funny bad show cop but that’s okay 

Ok my post got removed and told it should be a thread, books I would reco that give Yellowjackets vibes and seeking recos in return. And gauging interest in a Yellowjackets Book Club?

https://preview.redd.it/7ua2b2z20awe1.jpeg?width=257&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de8e62d49454ef962e2aef78fb639109d15e4b91

"Lucky Weekends"...a new film starring Kevin Alves & Alexa Barajas

A lot of you probably already know this, but I just found out that "Travis" and "Mari" will be in a new film together and that "Travis" wrote and directed. I think it is the post-production phase now.. Here is a link to the article I read:

https://deadline.com/2024/03/kevin-alves-director-debut-lucky-weekend-yellowjackets-alexa-barajas-1235863094/

The 100!

Definitely The Wilds and Class Of 07!

If anybody's thinking of watching 28 Years Later, I can wholeheartedly recommend it, on the grounds of both overall quality and thematic connections with YJS.

Doesn't quite share the show's female-centric perspective, but strong similarities persist - without spoiling too much, I think you can easily read Ralph Fiennes' character Kelson as Lottie Matthews' brother from another mother, so to speak.

I highly recommend School Spirits. It has super similar elements to Yellowjackets (other than cannibalism). It's about a girl who dies in her highschool and finds out that there's many other spirits that are trapped and they all work together to piece together her death. I especially recommend the show if you like Yellowjackets for one of the timelines being set in the 90s because each ghost is from a different decade and if you like the supernatural part of the show it has a lot of that with the horror mostly being psychological.

I’m having Yellowjacket’s withdrawal and am looking for something to watch like it. I’m thinking of starting the Wilds (Prime) and it looks pretty similar, but it got cancelled after 2 seasons and ended abruptly. Is it worth it?

I would love other suggestions! I’m always looking for new shows to check out. I’ve seen (and love) Severance, the Leftovers, From, Dark, the OA, and I love movies like the Others, Birdbox, Fractured, Identity, and Fight Club.

Chief of War.

Aloha!

If you’ve been watching Chief of War on Apple TV+ or have been meaning to check it out, there’s now an official subreddit dedicated to the series: r/ChiefofWarSeries.

If you’re into Hawaiian history, culture, or want to support authentic stories, come join the conversation.

Mahalo nui loa and hope to see you there!

WAYWARD. I’m telling you right now, if you love YellowJackets and need more. THIS IS THE ONE. Thriller, CULT, based somewhere in the 80s (with flashbacks), gay, oh fuuuck moments, whaat the fuuucccckkkk, teens trapped together, all of it. DO IIIIIT.
