More casting news out of Yellowjackets, which is gearing up to begin production on Season 2. Nuha Jes Izman has joined the cast in a recurring guest star role.
According to Deadline, “Izman will play Crystal, a member of the JV squad and a hard-core theater enthusiast who makes the dubious decision to bond with Misty,” the unhinged character played by Christina Ricci.
Other recent additions to the cast include Elijah Wood (Maniac), Lauren Ambrose (Servant), and Simone Kessell (Obi-Wan Kenobi). The series was created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson and stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, and Juliette Lewis.
In Yellowjackets, a plane carrying a high school girls soccer team crashes in the remote northern wilderness. The series documents both the girls’ descent into savagery and the survivors’ attempts to piece their lives back together nearly 25 years later. Season 2 will see the team facing down a harsh winter.
