    Joel McHale is set to guest star in “Yellowjackets” Season 3 at Paramount+ with Showtime.

    No premiere date has been set for Season 3 of the popular series at the time of this publishing, but the new episodes are currently in production. Season 2 aired in early 2023, with Paramount having renewed the show ahead of the Season 2 premiere.

    Exact details on McHale’s character in the series are being kept under wraps. The cast of the show includes Melanie Lynskey, Sophie Nélisse, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, Samantha Hanratty, Tawny Cypress, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Courtney Eaton, Lauren Ambrose, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, and Kevin Alves.

    The official description of “Yellowjackets” says the show is the “saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.”

    McHale currently stars in the Fox comedy series “Animal Control,” which has been renewed for a third season . He is set to reprise the role of Jeff Winger in the upcoming “Community” movie and recently made another guest appearance in Season 3 of the hit FX series “The Bear.” McHale also currently hosts and executive produces the unscripted shows “Crime Scene Kitchen” and “House of Villains.”

    He is repped by UTA and Ziffren Brittenham.

    “Yellowjackets” was created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson. The show has been nominated for 10 Emmy Awards to date, including two nods for Lynskey for outstanding lead actress in a drama. Lyle and Nickerson serve as showrunners and executive producers on the show along with Jonathan Lisco. Drew Comins of Creative Engine serves as executive producer along with Jeff Byrd, Sarah L. Thompson, Ameni Rozsa and Brad Van Arragon. Lionsgate Television produces.
