![]() All I can do is cross my fingers that it worked. I certainly recognize that it’s hard to achieve. I definitely think that was the challenge in that sequence - pulling off the idea of the collective shift. The plan to get Lottie psychiatric help fell apart fairly quickly once the ritual for the hunt began. I think there was a sense of narrative inevitability for the adult character that she’d sort of run out of second chances. But what we do know is it’s likely that there are a lot of transgressions to come in season three for young Natalie. We don’t know exactly how it’s going to play out, what that means for her. We understand now that she has been anointed some kind of queen in this social hierarchy. I think what the finale did in such a lovely way was really remind us of the depth of that guilt and shame by revealing not just that she played a part in all the agonizing things that happened in the wilderness, but that she in fact became such a key player in it by the end, which obviously, is almost more like opening a door narratively. We all knew that was going to inform Juliette’s approach to the character. Juliette is playing this character as an adult who is still such a thorny, complicated woman that suffers a lot from the burden of the past. Was she ready to move on? Was this purely a storytelling decision? Or was it a combination of both? Natalie’s death was so shocking, partly because Juliette Lewis has been with the show since the beginning.

And Sophie Thatcher’s Natalie is crowned as the new Antler Queen. The “wilderness” pops up again in the adults’ timeline as key team members seem to go missing after the blaze. Another murder and a hastily assembled frame job happen at the commune in the present while Coach Ben sets the girls’ cabin on fire in the past. Nat’s death isn’t the only narrative twist that warps the world we’ve come to know on Yellowjackets. In the episode, aptly titled “Storytelling,” the show takes a sledgehammer to our expectations, killing off Juliette Lewis’ tortured Natalie after a staged hunt gone horribly wrong. And now she’s back, helming the show’s shocking season two ender – one that’s divided fans and critics but left everyone reeling all the same. She directed the show’s pilot - a wild, genre-bending, timeline-hopping introduction that cemented the show as one to watch amidst a crowded TV landscape. ![]() She serves as an executive producer on the series, peeking scripts and first cuts of episodes before most. Karyn Kusama is part of the DNA of Showtime’s Yellowjackets.
