Christina Ricci gushes about her Yellowjackets co-star Juliette Lewis after the Season 2 finale
Memorial Day weekend kicked off for fans of Showtime's Yellowjackets with the Season 2 finale, that left fans quite stunned.
The finale - entitled Storytelling - featured a wilderness reunion of the adults from the 1996 Yellowjackets soccer team who survived the 1996 plane crash, though it ended in tragedy when Christina Ricci's Misty accidentally killed Juliette Lewis' Natalie.
The death was shocking for many fans, some of whom actually sent death threats to co-showrunner Ashley Lyle, who co-created the series with Bart Nickerson.
The finale was available to stream and on demand on Friday before it aired Sunday on Showtime.
Ricci, 43, took to Instagram on Monday sharing a photo of her and Lewis from the Yellowjackets set, along with a heartfelt message about her co-star.
