The Season 3 premiere of “Yellowjackets” hit just over 2 million viewers across Showtime and Paramount+ over the weekend. That puts it just above the Season 2 premiere, which reached nearly 2 million in 2023.

Yellowjackets Season 3 is off to a buzzy start. The premiere episode generated 2.03M viewers across its debut weekend on Paramount+ with Showtime, per Paramount Global. This includes the three-day streaming audience that tuned in once the episode became available on Friday,

That leaves about 1.94 million viewers via streaming, which is a record for any episode of Yellowjackets. The season three premiere’s streaming audience grew by 58 percent vs. the season two opener in March 2023 (which, it should be noted, was before Showtime’s direct-to-consumer streaming service was fully integrated into Paramount+).
