Netflix begins streaming the hit show with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating and fans are swooning

Netflix began streaming a hit show that originated on Showtime in the United States on Tuesday, and American fans were thrilled.

When the time-hopping thriller originally debuted in 2021, it was the second most-streamed series in the cable network's history behind Dexter: New Blood.

The streaming giant announced that the first season of Yellowjackets was available by releasing a BTS video in which cast members Liv Hewson, Kevin Alves, Alexa Barajas and Samantha Hanratty DeAnda reacted to the news while on set in Vancouver filmed the third season.

The soon-to-be 29-year-old, who plays the teenage Misty Quigley, said in the clip: “We're excited to welcome you to the Beehive!”

“Yellowjackets,” which boasts a 100% “certified fresh” Rotten Tomatoes rating for its first season, has already been streaming on Netflix in several other countries, including Australia and Chile.

Instagram user @bigdog1697 commented: “Binge-watching the first season on Netflix and finishing the second season on Paramount+!”

“Only season 1 please, where are 2 and 3?” Instagram user @blingbangs complained.

“I hosted a very fun dinner for our entire cast (and a few friends and family before wild speculation begins) almost at the end of the season!” Melanie Lynskey – who plays the adult Shauna Shipman – wrote on Instagram on Tuesday.

“Oh my God, it was one of the most special evenings of my life – my heart was so full of love and joy.” Thank you to (Hawksworth Restaurant) for the royal treatment! Thank you to all these great people who were there. I love you all so much.'

Christina Ricci — who plays the grown-up Misty Quigley — told THR in June, “This season will be even more shocking and surprising than previous seasons.” It's definitely going to be brutal. But they also incorporated a lot of comedy. So I think it's just going to be… extremely Yellowjackets-y.
