‘Yellowjackets’ Star Reveals Death Scene Was “Initial Plan” & Recalls Laying “Naked On A Table” In Final Episode: “I Knew From The Beginning”


'Yellowjackets' audiences are feasting this week after the Showtime series delivered a death scene that's been brewing since the beginning.

And while Coach’s death might have been a surprise to some — especially as Lottie (Courtney Eaton) convinced the team to spare him after a vision told Akilah (Nia Sondoya) that he would provide their way home — the real curveball was the sudden appearance of three outsiders (played by Joel McHale, Nelson Franklin and Ashley Sutton) while they eat his body and dance around his head. I’ve been fortunate, or unfortunate enough, to experience a lot of shows where character deaths are pretty normal, and so this is just kind of part of the game, and I really appreciate that our creators were able to give us that heads up going into it. I meant to ask you just out of curiosity as like an audience member and a viewer, that moment of the three people kind of coming out of the woods and the split-second reaction that happens to that, to me feels like an inflection point, in not just the season, but the overall series arc.
