"We are beyond grateful for Showtime's partnership, advocacy, and vision throughout this whole process. David Nevins, Gary Levine, Jana Winograde, Amy Israel, Dave Binegar, and the whole team believed in the potential of Yellowjackets and have been tenaciously supportive of us from the very beginning," said Lyle and Nickerson. "We couldn't imagine a better place to have landed (pun intended) and are thrilled to be continuing this journey with them. Buzz buzz buzz."
