‘Yellowjackets’ Pit Girl Actress Talks Filming “Full Circle Moment” From Pilot & When She Knew It Was Her: “I Did Have A Hunch”
Nearly six years in the making, one of 'Yellowjackets' most anticipated scenes finally came to fruition on this week's Season 3 finale episode.
After a faceless brunette was teased as a victim of the cannibalistic soccer team’s “hunt” in the beginning of the 2021 Karyn Kusama-directed pilot episode, Mari actress Alexa Barajas told Deadline she’s long “had a feeling” her character would be revealed as the infamous ‘Pit Girl’. Barajas also noted that her character’s fate was foreshadowed at the beginning of the season, when Coach Ben (Steven Krueger) captured her in the same pit, which hadn’t yet been modified with Travis’ (Kevin Alves) death spikes that were intended for Lottie (Courtney Eaton). So, I think it’s awesome that it really does again feel very full circle that you see them having so much conflict in the beginning, and then kind of make up somewhere in the middle, and then by the end, it is Shauna’s fault ultimately that she she changes the odds and gets Mari to be the one, unintentionally in some way, to pick the queen of hearts.
