Yellowjackets is an action-packed series. A group of clever crime fighters. They use tech and brains to catch bad guys. This mysterious team of six travels the globe. They face off against dangerous criminals. It’s all about battles, strategy and a bit of chaos. Sounds fun, right?

Meet the characters from Yellowjackets

Adam Martin

Okay, Adam is this quietly intense presence who kind of lingers at the edges and then suddenly you realize he was the center all along — the broody, layered type. He’s protective in a way that’s almost stubborn, like he decides to be your anchor and then refuses to let go even if it’s bad for everyone. There’s something restless about him, like he collects small regrets in a pocket and sometimes pulls them out to inspect them, which is maybe melodramatic but also somehow true. Also, random detail: he always hums off-key when nervous, which is terrible and oddly endearing.

Jackie Taylor

Jackie is THE firecracker — ambitious, ruthless, and the kind of leader who organizes people like pieces in a chess game, but also cries into her pillow at 2 a.m. because leadership is messy and she worries she’s not always liked (which she definitely cares about). She’ll plan a fundraiser and a coup in the same afternoon and somehow make both look glamorous; control is her love language even when she pretends it isn’t. She has a relentless, slightly exhausting confidence but then will text her mom for validation, which is funny and human.

Vanessa Palmer

Vanessa is preppy, polished, and sharp as a tack — she’s the one who makes plans, edits your social calendar, and judges your takeout order with surgical precision. Underneath the lacquered nails she’s fragile and a little panicked, like if the veneer cracks she doesn’t know who’s left; she’s protective in a boardroom way but also in a clutch-your-heart way. She loves lists and color-coding, but will impulsively buy neon sneakers at midnight and refuse to explain why. Tiny thing: she keeps a packet of sugar in her purse for “emergencies” and sometimes hoards it like treasure.

Lottie Matthews

Lottie is wild and eerie and somehow both childlike and ancient, like a person who remembers being a storm and also remembers finger painting last week. She gravitates toward the mystical — rituals, symbols, weird alt-reality leadership — and yet she can be exquisitely tender and naive, which is what makes her so unpredictable. People either follow her like she’s a lighthouse or get freaked out by the fact she talks to trees, but honestly that’s part of her charm. Also she knits sometimes? No, maybe she collects bottle caps. I can’t remember but it’s adorable either way.

Laura Lee

Laura is the queenpin of sharp edges: fashionable, cutting, competitive, and always ten steps ahead in the social game. She wields charm like a weapon and can make you feel seen and small within the span of one conversation, which is impressive if slightly terrifying. Occasionally she slips and something vulnerable peeks out — a crack of insecurity, a late-night regret — and you suddenly remember she’s a person, not just a brand. She also keeps an absurd collection of novelty sunglasses, which she insists is “for different vibes” and you kind of believe her.

Travis Martinez

Travis is the soft-hearted tough guy who looks like he could be a dad or a bouncer depending on the day; earnest, loyal, and kind in a very stubborn way. He’s the one who tries to fix things with practicality but sometimes ends up fixing them with brute force, which is a whole mood. Trauma follows him like a shadow but he’s also the person who will make you soup at three a.m. and swear it’s medicinal. Little quirky note: he’s inexplicably good at whistling old jingles and gets oddly proud about it.

Shauna Sadecki

Shauna is the anxious moral compass who wants to do the right thing but is also hilariously mercenary when survival mode kicks in — she can be deeply principled and pragmatically sneaky at the same time. She’s impulsive in stressful moments and then ruminates for days after, which makes her equal parts relatable and exhausting (to herself). There’s a nervous energy around her, like pencils chewing and second-guessing, but also a fierce loyalty that surprises people. Oh and she hoards pens for some reason; like, she will give you one and then immediately regret it.

Taissa Turner

Taissa is the chaotic magnet — loud, dramatic, full of sharp comebacks and even sharper impulses, the friend you adore and simultaneously fear for. She lives for attention and validation, but there’s also a simmering sadness that she masks with jokes and hair flips; she’s complicated in a glittery way. She’ll start a bonfire and then volunteer to put it out five minutes later, which is very Taissa. Small thing: she paints tiny faces on stones and names them, because why not.

Natalie Scatorccio

Natalie is raw, honest, and kind of a mess in the best possible way — she says what she thinks, cries when needed, laughs when it hurts, and keeps going because she’s stubborn like that. She has survival instincts turned up to eleven but somehow remains whisper-soft with her people; she’s the heart that won’t quit. She’s funny, salty, and surprisingly domestic — like she can make an amazingly weird casserole and then apologize profusely for its appearance. Also she tapes a hair tie to her wrist religiously, as if it’s her lifeline, which, maybe it is.

Misty Quigley

Misty is this quietly unsettling maternal figure who exudes warmth and a weird spiritual authority, like she knitted grief into a sweater and then handed it out at funerals. She’s comforting and creepy in equal measure — soft lullabies one minute, eyes that say she knows more than you do the next. People either find her healing or a touch alarming; both can be true, and that duality is deliciously unsettling. Also she apparently hums nursery rhymes while pickling vegetables, which is a detail I love even if it doesn’t totally make sense.
