Check Out the Cast of ‘Yellowjackets’ IRL vs. Their Onscreen Counterparts in Pictures

Yellowjackets is officially back for its extremely anticipated second season, which means the time has come to enter your Citizen Detective era and obsess over every. single. theory. that Reddit has to offer. All on no sleep, naturally, since the show drops on Thursdays at midnight and staying up is a must. There are already a lot of theories to go over (personal fave: Javi's living in an underground tunnel), but we're here to uncover something slightly less mysterious: what the cast of Yellowjackets look like IRL. You know, when they aren't covered in dirt, snow, blood, sweat, and tears in the wilderness!

Obviously, you've seen the cast glammed-up on the red carpet, but side-by-side pictures with their on-screen alter-egos just hits different. Like I, for one, am still not over how unrecognizable Samantha Hanratty is when she's not dressed in her Misty best, and Steven Krueger (Coach Ben) just unlocked a new level of hot during the premiere.

Check out a roundup of the core cast IRL vs. on-screen ahead, and before you ask: Yes, Showtime has already renewed Yellowjackets for a third season, with president and CEO of the network Chris McCarthy telling Variety, "With ‘Yellowjackets’ runaway success in season 1 and the pent-up anticipation for season 2, we wanted to maximize the momentum by fast tracking season 3 now." TBD on when season 3 premieres, but fingers crossed for this time next year? I'm not sure I can wait 'til then, and we're literally only a couple eps into season 2. 😩
