\n\t[This story contains major spoilers from the season three finale of\u00a0Yellowjackets<\/em>, \u201cFull Circle.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWhen actors find out they are getting killed off of Yellowjackets<\/em>, they have a difficult call to make: one to their co-star, Melanie Lynskey. Given the killing spree in season three of the hit Showtime survival series<\/a>, Lynskey received more than a few calls. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThey know I\u2019m the most emotional one,\u201d she tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>. \u201cSo everybody had to break the news<\/a> to me as though some tragic thing in real life had actually happ<\/a>ened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe cast of Yellowjackets<\/em>, which just wrapped its third season, is very close. So close that they throw death parties for one another when a character is killed off the show. The series is about teenagers stranded in the remote wilderness after a plane crash, and the depths they plunge in order to survive, both in the 1996 wilderness timeline and in present day, where Lynskey plays adult survivor Shauna (who was crowned the \u201cAntler Queen\u201d and leader of the group in the finale). Last season\u2019s finale raised the stakes with the death of star Juliette Lewis\u2018 character, Adult Natalie, and now, deaths are aplenty. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c[With Nat\u2019s death] Juliette, was like, \u2018Okay, don\u2019t cry,’\u201d recalls Lynskey of receiving that dreaded call from her former co-star. \u201cThen she was like, \u2018It\u2019s okay, you can cry,\u2019 because of course, I immedia<\/a>tely burst into tears. All of them, I was heartbroken.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThis season continued to trim the adult cast with the deaths of Lottie and Van, following Simone Kessell and Lauren Ambrose, respectively, joining the series in season two. Lynskey makes it clear that she trusts the mystery ride that showrunners Ashley Lyle, Bart Nickerson and Jonathan Lisco have set them on after a wild season that included the darkest turn for both her Shauna and her teenage version played by Sophie N\u00e9lisse. But that doesn\u2019t mean she isn\u2019t shedding tears. \u201cThe idea of never finishing [filming] a little earlier than we thought and making a dinner plan with Lauren and Simone? I\u2019m just going to start crying!\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the below conversation with THR<\/em>, Lynskey shares her introspective take on Shauna\u2019s evolution (including taking a bite out of Hilary Swank\u2018s arm), whether or not she thinks it\u2019s fair that her remaining friends, Tai (Tawny Cypress) and Misty (Christina Ricci), are now coming for her, and what her voiceover ending means for the future of the show: \u201cHonestly, none of us are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t***<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the beginning of this season, you said there were some things that really shocked you, and I\u2019m curious what they were.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tIt got very, very wild. Some things were crazier than I thought. I was pretty shocked that I was taking a bite out of a living human being\u2019s arm. Also Shauna just barreling ahead with 50 percent of the information is always so interesting to me; how certain she can become, and then when she finds something else out, she just switches to a different certainty. But yeah the wildness of that scene with Hilary [Swank] was the most surprising thing.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Shaunas plural take the biggest turn this season. I always like to hear from you about what you ask of your showrunners at the beginning of the season. Going back to that conversation, how deep was your talk about Shauna\u2019s arc?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tThey got into it a little bit. At the beginning of the season, they said, \u201cShe\u2019s really going to try to do her best to be a good wife and a good mother. She wants to make an effort.\u201d That sounded really interesting to me. I was like, \u201cI\u2019d like to see that.\u201d I think she\u2019s been wanting to, and it felt nice that she felt she could now trust [husband] Jeff [Warren Kole] and that they had gotten to this point. And then that didn\u2019t last very long. They said things were going to get really crazy for her. The conversation was kind of vague. But they definitely said she was going to get unhinged and that it was going to get very, very dark, but I didn\u2019t know the specifics. And that could be anything. It\u2019s not like things haven\u2019t been dark before!<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd they did not tell me about any of the deaths that were happening. I had to hear it from the people who were dying.<\/p>\n

\n\tOh, wow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tSo, that was sad. But they went into quite a bit of detail about how she thought someone was stalking her, and she sees this phone in the bathroom and she gets a tape. They said, \u201cand then we find out the answer of who\u2019s doing it,\u201d but they didn\u2019t tell me what the answer was. So I think there were some things that were still being decided. <\/p>\n

\n\tThings have changed a bit since season one when there was a clear plan for the entire season and they went over everything in great detail before the season began. I don\u2019t ask as many questions now. They have a system. They have a writers room. They\u2019ll tell me when they\u2019re ready to talk about it. \u00adI appreciate the pre-season debrief and I understand. Some things are still being figured out. Some people are still being cast. it\u2019s a whole thing.<\/p>\n

\n\tYou mention your co-stars leaving. I spoke with Simone Kessell and Lauren Ambrose after Lottie and Van\u2019s deaths. Simone was still digesting and Lauren had questions, but said she felt really good about where they ended up; I spoke with her and Liv Hewson together. I know you all are close, so what was it like when you found out? Juliette Lewis leaving the show was so big, now two more in your adult group are departing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tEveryone who died this season, and also Juliette, told me themselves. I think they all knew how I was going to respond because everybody knows each other so well, and they know I\u2019m the most emotional one and that I get very, very attached to people. So everybody had to break the news to me as though some tragic thing in real life had actually happened.<\/p>\n

\n\t[With Nat\u2019s death in season two] Juliette, was like, \u201cOkay, don\u2019t cry.\u201d Then she was like, \u201cIt\u2019s okay, you can cry,\u201d because of course, I immediately burst into tears. All of them, I was heartbroken. I was heartbroken when Alexa [Barajas] told me [she was Pit Girl]. I didn\u2019t know that was happening to Alexa. She\u2019s so good. She\u2019s so talented. When everybody on the show is so good, you don\u2019t want to lose any one of them. All of the characters are so interesting, and I\u2019m not in the writers room but I\u2019m like, \u201cOh, but there is so much more that they have to offer and so much more they have to offer in these particular characters.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t doubt that all of them are going to go on to have amazing careers and do whatever they want. Simone and I are actively working on something that we\u2019ll act in together back in New Zealand, and we\u2019re so excited about that. And at the same time, you just have to trust. These people [our showrunners] are brilliant. I have signed on to go on the ride that these writers have decided to put us on, and I trust them. I think they\u2019re telling the story they feel is best to tell. They\u2019ve given me so much amazing material to work with. They\u2019ve given all of us amazing material to work with. That\u2019s why the characters are so great and why people care so much. But just personally, the idea of never finishing [filming] a little earlier than we thought and making a dinner plan with Lauren and Simone? I\u2019m just going to start crying!<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tMelissa (Hilary Swank), here being forced to eat a piece of her flesh by Shauna (Lynskey) remains alive and in the wind at the end of season three. \u201cI think that is a terrifying prospect for the rest of our Yellowjackets,\u201d Ashley Lyle told THR<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKailey Schwerman\/Paramount+ with SHOWTIME.<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tIt raises the stakes because we feel like none of you are safe, and the final moments of the season turn on you. But I\u2019m thinking, there\u2019s no way they\u2019ll kill off Melanie Lynskey now, right? Do you ever have that thought?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tHonestly, none of us are safe. Really, truly. None of us feel like, \u201cOh, we\u2019re going to be fine, we\u2019re good until the end.\u201d I really don\u2019t know. They could want to do something really surprising in season four, and then I don\u2019t have a job anymore. So we\u2019re all just kind of bracing ourselves because we don\u2019t really know. Somebody heard that they take people for brunch to tell them that they\u2019re getting killed off, which I don\u2019t think is true. (Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n\tEveryone who I spoke to told me that they got a phone call. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tSomeone in my Instagram commented like, \u201cDon\u2019t go to brunch!\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tWith all of these season three deaths, I\u2019ve gotten to speak with the people who have departed. Lauren Ambrose candidly spoke about putting in the work to find the truth in some of her scenes. With her death scene, she said she cleared the room out so she and Hilary Swank [who plays Adult Melissa] could accomplish what they did. Were there any Shauna scenes that you felt similarly about, where you needed to dig in or figure out with a scene partner how to find an emotional truth?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYes. And by the way, I really appreciate working on a show with people who take the time to do that. Lauren worked on that and made it make sense, and that ending episode of hers is so beautiful. It was so gorgeous and she made sure that everything was in alignment emotionally; she made it so powerful. I couldn\u2019t be there on her last day. I was so sad. I sent her a grilled cheese truck. I knew she was doing really horrible stuff and I was like, she probably feels like comfort food. But I wish I could have been there.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe throughline that Sophie [N\u00e9lisse] and I have always been really interested in with Shauna is this deep belief in who she is that she\u2019s not really showing the world. Before we started filming the show, she and I sat down and were like: She has a lot of confidence. There\u2019s no part of her that\u2019s like, \u201cI\u2019m just a shy wallflower and, what if boys aren\u2019t interested in me?\u201d She\u2019s like, \u201cI can get whoever I want. I\u2019m very dangerous.\u201d I was so happy that this 21-year-old gorgeous child was on the same page as me about this feral person we\u2019re playing. (Laughs<\/em>) This quiet best friend thing she was doing was not where Shauna was comfortable as a teenager. And this housewife thing she\u2019s doing in her middle age is also not where she\u2019s comfortable. It\u2019s just where she feels she\u2019s going to go undetected and like she\u2019s not going to get into trouble. She feels like if she owns her own power, that\u2019s going to be dangerous. <\/p>\n

\n\tSophie and I have always played her with this kind of undercurrent where she does get quite excited by things that are very, very risky. So when things happen that seem like, \u201cWhere did that come from?\u201d (laughs<\/em>) \u2014 like\u00a0suddenly she\u2019s outside a stranger\u2019s house with a knife \u2014 it\u2019s following that thrill; she gets a high from feeling like the stakes are very high. Her instincts are all over the place, but she will protect herself and protect her family. I know there are some people who think she doesn\u2019t care about her family. I think she deeply loves her family. I think she wants to protect them. But for me, it does make sense that anything will set her off. Then once she starts to feel that old feeling of the hunt and being in danger in that really primal way, she comes alive. <\/strong>So it does make biting a chunk out of Hillary Swank\u2019s arm makes sense. I don\u2019t know if she would have killed the daughter of the researcher, but she was ready to confront her with a knife.<\/p>\n

\n\tHearing you say that, it\u2019s dawning on me how surprising it was that Shauna was being hunted at the end of season two, especially now after seeing her as the season three wilderness Antler Queen. She\u2019s the hunter<\/em>, I can\u2019t imagine anyone hunting her<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\tI know. But now, after seeing how this season has gone, I look back on that moment of the [season two finale] hunt and it\u2019s really interesting. Because obviously, she wanted to participate in the hunt as a ruse to get Lottie to an institution. Like, \u201cOkay, if this is what\u2019s going to do it, fine,\u201d and then they all sort of switched back on and got a little crazy about it, and she was trying to be voice of reason. But seeing this season, I wonder if there was some element of them all being like, \u201cNow we\u2019re in control.\u201d Like, \u201cYou stopped us from leaving. You were in charge of us and nobody knew what you were going to do, and you were so unpredictable. And now here we are and we have the chance to actually take you down.\u201d I wonder if some old instinct kicked in for them.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s so true because after this season, I\u2019m wondering why they go near you in the present day. I\u2019m sorry! But I would think they would be traumatized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI mean, they bonded! There must be some [changing of the dynamics in the rescue timeline] and I do think that people have compassion for what Shauna has gone through. Also, nobody\u2019s behaving perfectly, like Lottie [Courtney Eaton] split a man\u2019s head open and then started eating his brains. I feel like we forget that!<\/p>\n

\n\tYes, that\u2019s a great point! (Laughs<\/em>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI think Shauna is a traumatized kid who\u2019s not doing her best. You certainly can\u2019t say she\u2019s doing her best, but she\u2019s just kind of going with this feral thing that\u2019s overtaken her.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tTeen Shauna (Sophie N\u00e9lisse, center) is crowned the next \u201cAntler Queen\u201d in the wilderness timeline, as Adult Shauna begins to journal about what she is remembering in present day.<\/span><\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tShowtime<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

\n\tIn this final scene when you journal, Shauna\u2019s family has left her, at least for now, so she is free of that mother-wife burden. She\u2019s finding herself again. What she says is some of the most insight we\u2019ve gotten on this show: \u201cI was a warrior, a fucking queen and I\u2019m not going to let that slip away anymore.\u201d What does that mean for her now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tDoes it still say, \u201cI was a nightmare?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tNo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI recorded a version where I said, \u201cI was a warrior. I was a nightmare.\u201d I liked that. I thought that was really interesting that she knew that.<\/p>\n

\n\tMaybe that\u2019s why they cut it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tWell that was my intent, because I liked that. This is why I really hope that we get season four and hopefully season five, because there\u2019s so much still to uncover. Like you just said, the journey from what her position is now within the group to being a person who\u2026 you know, they weren\u2019t hanging out in the adult timeline, but certainly Tai seemed to love and care about her. Natalie, not so much.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhich we now understand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tYeah, of course. I do wish I was getting to play some of that stuff with Juliette. That\u2019d be so much fun to watch. Like Lauren [Ambrose] and I both said one day, it\u2019s basically religious watching her work, watching what Juliette does.<\/p>\n

\n\tI did ask the showrunners if we would ever see a ghost Natalie, and they said not in season three but that the door is certainly open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tListen, I would take ghost Natalie. I would love to have her come and be ghost Natalie. I want all of them to be ghosts. I\u2019m having a hard time letting go. But to me, whenever I have had these moments as Shauna where she does get to be kind of unhinged and she does get to show rage, there\u2019s this incredible calmness that comes over my body. The rest of the time when I\u2019m playing her, there\u2019s a little bit of an itchy feeling. There\u2019s sort of a twitchy thing. She\u2019s easily distracted. She doesn\u2019t finish sentences. There\u2019s something that feels very calming when I have a big moment of something that comes from a really rageful place. I do love how, by the end of the season, Teen Shauna and Adult Shauna have aligned in this way. I\u2019m very interested to see a Shauna who\u2019s just embracing it like, \u201cYou know what? This is where my power is. I\u2019m not a great mom, sorry I tried!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tYou did try your best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI agree, I do think she did try her best. She loves Callie. Callie\u2019s not the easiest. Shauna\u2019s not the easiest. It just is what it is.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe reveal that Callie [Shauna\u2019s daughter] killed Lottie is big for your character as well. Callie (Sarah Desjardins) snapped when she reacted to what Lottie (Kessell) was saying, which resulted in her pushing Lottie down the stairs to her death. Did you recognize a mother-daughter bond in that scene? How do you interpret what happened there?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI was really impressed with that scene and how Sarah played it. I think Sarah\u2019s so wonderful and Simone is so wonderful, and seeing the two of them together\u2026 again, I\u2019m like, why can\u2019t there be more of that? I loved that. It\u2019s such an interesting dynamic. But I really loved how Sarah played that. There was so much power there and it was very deliberate. I liked that she didn\u2019t hedge around it or do a \u201cwhat am I doing?\u201d kind of face. She really made a choice, and I loved it. I was like, \u201cOooh!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tI don\u2019t know how Shauna would feel about it. She obviously has complicated feelings about Lottie. She doesn\u2019t want Callie to be a murderer. She wants Callie to be safe and make good choices, or what she considers to be good choices, I guess! But I thought that moment was pretty amazing.<\/p>\n

\n\tI thought the heart necklace was a marking for being sacrificed to the wilderness, but Lottie had told Shauna it wasn\u2019t. Before her death, Lottie wanted to put Callie on a pedestal, not hurt her, but Callie seemed to feel threatened in the moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI think that\u2019s why Lottie says, \u201cIt\u2019s never meant what you thought it meant\u201d [to Shauna about the necklace]. During that scene with the three of them in the kitchen [in an earlier episode], that was an absolute triggered fear response [when Shauna pulled the necklace off Callie and kicked Lottie out of her house]. Simone and I have both talked about that scene. I think sometimes the episodes are so long and they have to try to fit as much in as possible, so it got trimmed down a little bit. I still think it\u2019s a great scene. Sarah\u2019s so great. But there was something electric that happened between Simone and I. I hope it came across because it felt very, very powerful. She and I are so bonded that we were able to transmit something between us. But yeah, I don\u2019t think Lottie meant to mark Callie for death. I think it seems as though she had some recognition of the part that Callie was going to play.<\/p>\n

\n\tLottie says Callie is the child they got back out of the wilderness. That they lost Shauna\u2019s baby for her, and it connects to a vision that Lottie had seen earlier in the series, which we now know was about her death. Have you imagined if Shauna\u2019s family will come back? By Jeff\u2019s (Warren Kole) text message, it doesn\u2019t seem permanent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI would be scared if they weren\u2019t series regulars! Sarah is so amazing. I\u2019ve loved, loved, loved working with Sarah. And something so special happens when Warren and I work together. He\u2019s been one of the greatest seen partners I\u2019ve ever had. There was more stuff of Van and Tai and Jeff and Shauna at Natalie\u2019s funeral. Lauren and Tawny were like, \u201cHe is so fun. You get to do this all the time?\u201d I was like, \u201cI know. I\u2019m the luckiest person on earth.\u201d He\u2019s so up for anything. His instincts are so great. His improv is really great. I cannot think of a world where I don\u2019t have scenes with Warren.<\/p>\n

\n\tI remember you shared photos from that scene on Instagram, but said you had to redo your post because of a spoiler. Was there more from Nat\u2019s funeral scene that got cut?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tOh, the art department made this beautiful little card for Natalie\u2019s funeral. It was this painting of Juliette holding these lilies, on this Catholic-style card. It was so beautiful and special, and I also thought Juliette would have really loved it. And then I got told off by all these people [that it was a spoiler].<\/p>\n

\n\tThe spoiler window closes after two years!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI try to be so careful. I posted a picture of my face covered with blood [from this season] and someone called that a spoiler.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis other final scene between Tai (Tawny Cypress) and Misty (Christina Ricci) where they are plotting your demise, Tai makes some accusations about you being behind every death and fueling everything that happened out in the wilderness. When you read that, did you think that was a fair characterization?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI was like, \u201cOh my god, Taissa\u2019s like a Reddit commenter!\u201d I don\u2019t read it very often, but whenever I do, that\u2019s what it feels like. (Laughs<\/em>)<\/p>\n

\n\tAnd Tai was your girl. It\u2019s harsh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI know. Obviously, I don\u2019t agree with that because I\u2019m playing this person and I see the nuance. But oh, I love an angry Tawny. That\u2019s exciting. Let her be ferocious, let her be scary. The scenes where she went to bury Van and then got back in the car with me. The feeling that was coming from her shut me down. It was so scary. She\u2019s a magnificent actress. Christina is obviously so fucking good and if the two of them are banding together to go after me, that\u2019s delicious. That\u2019s so exciting.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is, but I\u2019m also wondering, is there any world where all three of you could survive that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI mean, I\u2019m not feeling hopeful after this season! This season was a real rough one, just heartbreak after heartbreak. So probably one of us is going to die \u2014 or all of us, and season five is a whole new adult cast!<\/p>\n

\n\tMelissa (Swank) is also still out there. Now that Shauna\u2019s friends are turning on her, could you see any world where she would seek Melissa out? And would you hope to see Hillary Swank return?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tGosh, I hope Melissa goes to the emergency room. You can really get infected! I don\u2019t know how Shauna and Melissa would be a team. That was a pretty ferocious fight. I also think Shauna\u2019s pretty loyal to Tai. I like to believe in that. She can be very defensive, very, \u201cwell, I was only trying to\u2026\u201d But with Tai [in the car after Van\u2019s death], I think Shauna really was trying to say sorry, to the best of her abilities. I think Shauna hurting Tai is very, very difficult for her. So it\u2019s hard because I want to see ferocious, unhinged Tawny Cypress, but I also want Shauna and Tai to be friends forever.<\/p>\n

\n\tAbout taking that bite of Hilary\u2019s arm, I know your director Ben Semanoff had many conversations about what to make the skin out of and how you guys should chew it. (Swank said the skin was made of silicone.) Were you part of that brainstorming?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tNo, I\u2019m not involved in anything like that. But our makeup team is so amazing and I know they had to create something that was food-based for the blood because Hillary has sensitivities. So they made this incredible thing [for her arm] that looked so real and I was nervous. I was really nervous that I was accidentally going to hurt her or take a bite that was not quite in the right spot of the prosthetic, which was glued onto her arm. <\/p>\n

\n\tShe was really up for it, which I appreciated. I just had to keep reminding myself that she was not just in Million Dollar Baby<\/em>, she has an Oscar for Million Dollar Baby<\/em>. I worked with Clint Eastwood [in Flags of Our Fathers<\/em>]. I know you get one take. To give that performance in that movie, which was so incredible, she had to be ready to go at all times. She had to be prepared that she might get punched in the face. There\u2019s not a lot of seeing what works. So I just kept that in mind the whole time: this is a person who is ready for anything. And she really was. She was not precious at all. She was on the floor. She was great.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn defense of Shauna, in the finale we do see Teen Melissa (Jenna Burgess) on top of Shauna (N\u00e9lisse) and nearly killing her in the wilderness. Do you think Shauna was triggered by their past?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tI think she\u2019s just so carried away, she\u2019s so alive in that moment. I think she\u2019s just so excited. She was triggered in that moment with Lottie when the necklace is on Callie, but then there\u2019s something else happening with Melissa. I think it\u2019s a little bit sexual? Anya [Adams, director of the eighth episode] and I talked about that. She said, \u201cWhen you lean over to take a bite, I want it to almost look like you\u2019re going to kiss her.\u201d And I was like, \u201cOh I like the feeling of it being so exciting for her that it\u2019s almost a sexual thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt does seem like she\u2019s probably been having boring sex for a lot of years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\tPoor Jeff. Well, there was Adam [Peter Gadiot]!<\/p>\n
