Finally, ‘Yellowjackets’ Is Embracing Shauna’s Queerness

Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Yellowjackets Season 3.]

Yellowjackets is one of the most queer shows currently airing on television. There’s power couple Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown / Tawny Cypress) and Van (Liv Hewson / Lauren Ambrose), and Coach Ben (Steven Krueger) who spends his time hallucinating about the boyfriend he left back home. The queerness imbued in this series isn’t strictly front-facing. There’s an abundance of subtext to go around for the rest of the gang. There’s one particular character, though, who has perhaps the most subtext to work with, a character fans have been longing for the show to make canonically queer.
