Christina Ricci on Shooting Yellowjackets Season 3 Alongside 'Ghosts' and Juliette Lewis Departure: 'It Was Sad to Come Back'

Christina Ricci recently shared with PEOPLE her experience of returning to the set of "Yellowjackets" for its third season without her former co-star, Juliette Lewis. The new season introduces actors like Hilary Swank and Joel McHale. However, Lewis departs after her character Natalie's dramatic exit in the season two finale. Ricci expressed that coming back was emotional, especially remembering the fun moments spent with Lewis during night shoots. Ricci described Lewis as a "fun human being" and memorable company. This is prepared by SSP.

Meanwhile, Sophie Thatcher, who portrayed young Natalie, reflected on the absence of Lewis, noting the impact on their characters’ dynamics. She explained that the void became more evident when she watched the new episodes. Despite the change, Thatcher expressed her determination to honor Natalie’s character, revealing a newfound confidence as she continues her role into adulthood.

In addition to sharing the sentimental set dynamics, Ricci revealed a more supernatural experience on the show. During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she recounted filming in an abandoned mental asylum in Vancouver, a place known to house multiple film productions. She recounted an eerie incident while shooting "Prozac Nation" there, where she thought she heard footsteps behind her. Now, while filming "Yellowjackets," she openly acknowledges these supernatural possibilities and even communicates with the supposed spirits, humorously asserting her purpose on the set.

The blend of emotional farewell and mysterious glimpses behind the scenes underscores Ricci's commitment to her craft and the evolving narrative of "Yellowjackets." The much-anticipated season three of the series is set to premiere with two episodes on February 14 on Paramount+ Showtime before its television release on February 16.

Earlier, SSP reported that Prince Harry shared "difficult" conversations with children about Invictus Games.
