by

Spoiler ahead for Yellowjackets season 3!

Each installment of Yellowjackets offers a mix of poignant moments, yet one element that stays constant is the unexpected demises. With each new season comes another character’s untimely end, and in this instance, it was Liv Hewson’s character, Van––a heart-wrenching blow for original viewers!

In simpler terms, the actress discussed with Deadline regarding the shooting of her last scenes. She mentioned that her co-star, Lauren Ambrose (playing a character similar to hers on the series), escorted her into the room during the filming where Hilary Swank’s character, Melissa, ended up killing Van.

In her own words, Hewson shared that although she was off-camera, she was present in the same room where her on-screen counterpart met their demise. She described this moment as deeply impactful and intensely emotional.

1) She hinted that the nearly climactic episode before the final one in the current season is overflowing with touching moments. “It felt like peeling back layer after layer of this intricate narrative, not just as an actor, but also as part of the character,” Hewson commented. (This version maintains the original’s structure and essence while making it more conversational and easy to understand for a general audience.)

This season was filled with exclusive references and encounters for the actress. Having portrayed Ambrose’s counterpart throughout the series, she eventually got to act alongside her. In dream sequences before her character’s demise, both Heweson’s younger version and Ambrose’s adult version of Van came together on screen.

Heweson expressed gratitude to Deadline, stating she considered it fortunate to have gone through that particular experience. She further mentioned that collaborating with an exceptional talent like Ambrose was a unique opportunity for her character, as it allowed her to delve deeply into the ominous dream and spend her last moments introspectively.

According to the formal description, the series focuses on an exceptionally skilled girls’ soccer team who find themselves unfortunate survivors of a plane crash, stranded in the harsh wilderness of Canada.

Yellowjackets Season 3 is available to stream on Paramount+ with Showtime.
