‘Yellowjackets’: Simone Kessell Unmasks Lottie’s Therapy, PTSD and Her Relationship With Nat
20.05.2023 - 00:13 / variety.com
Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from “It Chooses,” Episode 8 of “Yellowjackets” Season 2, now streaming on Showtime. In the last moments of the Season 1 finale of “Yellowjackets,” viewers were tipped to the fact that Lottie was alive and well, and out there somewhere in the world. In the show’s second season, the adult version of Lottie, played by Simone Kessell, is revealed to be running a wellness center in Upstate New York — and there’s been an air of doubt around her. Can she be trusted or not? As it turns out, not.

We move into another realm of Lottie.” Kessell also shares her take on whether the women
