Karyn Kusama, director and executive producer of Showtime's "Yellowjackets," discusses her work on the show, including laying the groundwork for future episodes and seasons, the character Natalie's arc and fan theories, her experience watching episodes she didn't direct, and her excitement for exploring the teenage girls' reentry into the world after leaving the wilderness in future seasons.
Karyn Kusama, the director of the Yellowjackets season two finale, reveals that Natalie's death was foreshadowed in the pilot episode of the Showtime series. Kusama explains that the showrunners had always thought about the mysterious moment when Natalie hallucinates Misty at the kegger in the woods, which was a time-defying flash-forward to the notion that Misty was always going to be kind of an angel of death for Natalie. Kusama also discusses the emotional decision to kill off the character of Natalie and say goodbye to core cast member Juliette Lewis, explaining why the big-swing choice made sense for the series and how long it’s been in motion.
