The final season of Yellowjackets lands on Paramount Plus on November 20, 2026, closing out a series that has quietly made British Columbia one of TV's most convincing wildernesses. For screen tourists, it's a last chance to track the show's real filming haunts around Metro Vancouver before the credits roll.
Season four production kicked off in late February, based out of Boundary Studios on Boundary Road in Burnaby. But like previous seasons, cameras ranged well beyond the studio lot: Surrey, Langley, Coquitlam, New Westminster and Squamish all hosted shoots, plus locations on Burnaby Mountain and at Harrison Peak — the kind of forested, misty terrain that doubles so well for 'remote Canadian wilderness' that viewers rarely clock it as mostly an hour from downtown Vancouver.
Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, the show follows a high school soccer team whose plane crashes in the wilds of northern Canada, splitting the story between the teens' fight to survive and the adults they become. It's bleak folk horror with a dark streak of comedy, and season three became its most-watched yet. The fourth was confirmed as the last in 2025, and the cast said their goodbyes on social media in late July.
The ensemble is a big part of the draw: Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Lauren Ambrose, Tawny Cypress and Simone Kessell play the adult survivors, while Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton and Liv Hewson carry the teenage timeline, alongside Steven Krueger as Coach Ben and Kevin Alves as teen Travis. Elijah Wood's Walter has been a recurring presence, and Hilary Swank joined in season three — whether either returns for the finale remains under wraps. No official trailer had dropped as of the announcement.
If the series has you eyeing a trip, the good news is that nearly every location is an easy day trip from Vancouver. Squamish, along the scenic Sea-to-Sky Highway, pairs rainforest trails with the Sea to Summit Gondola; Harrison Hot Springs makes a laid-back weekend base with lakeside walks and, yes, peaks in the distance. Burnaby Mountain's conservation area and the Metro Vancouver suburbs featured in the show are all reachable by car or transit, making this one of the more accessible screen-tourism destinations going — no charter flight to the actual wilderness required.
