The cast of Yellowjackets is growing for season 3. Joel McHale has joined the survival thriller series for its next installment in a guest role, although any further details of his character are remaining under wraps for now.
The show announced the casting on itsofficial Twitter accountwith a clip of McHale in the style of the series' opening credits. He joins an ensemble cast that includes Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Liv Hewson, and Sophie Thatcher.
Set between two timelines, Yellowjackets follows the titular high school soccer team as they fight for survival after their plane crashes in the Canadian wilderness en route to a tournament in 1996, as well as picking up with the survivors in the present day.
McHale is best known for playing Jeff Winger in cult favorite sitcom Community (a role he’s set to reprise in the upcoming Community movie). He also has a recurring role in The Bear as Carmy’s (Jeremy Allen White) abusive former boss. Although his Yellowjackets character remains a mystery, it’s likely that he’ll be joining the present day timeline. In what capacity, however, we’ll have to wait and see.
