Showtime Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged 'Yellowjackets' Idea Theft

Showtime is facing a lawsuit alleging that its series 'Yellowjackets' was plagiarized from the 2015 film 'Eden.' The lawsuit, filed in New York federal court, claims that the show shares substantial similarities with 'Eden,' including plot, setting, and characters. 'Eden' is about a U.S. men's soccer team stranded on a deserted island, while 'Yellowjackets' follows a high school girls' soccer team stranded in the Canadian wilderness. The lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction against further exploitation of the series.
