Shows like Yellowjackets
If you liked Yellowjackets, the best matches are The Wilds, Lost and Cruel Summer.
If you spent way too much time obsessing over Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson's wild survival saga starring Melanie Lynskey and Tawny Cypress, you definitely know the specific brain rot that comes with watching talented high school soccer players descend into wilderness savagery across dual timelines. It ruins you for normal television, mostly because you start side-eying your coworkers and wondering who would eat whom first if the Wi-Fi went down.
The shows below keep that exact flavor of psychological chaos going, trading plane crashes and remote northern forests for stranded island setups and deeply buried teenage secrets, proving that teenagers left to their own devices are genuinely terrifying. Whether you want more island-based psychological chaos like The Wilds or the classic blueprint of plane crash survivors dealing with secrets like Lost, these picks have you covered.
