Pilot (Yellowjackets)

In the snowy wildlands, a woman in a nightgown is running in a forest, while whispers and noises are heard in the distance. Frightened, she continues running out of fear, until she falls into a trap, getting impaled by spikes. A young person wearing animal fur and mask takes her before other participants; they proceed to butcher and devour her body.

In 2021, Shauna Shipman (Melanie Lynskey) is approached by Jessica Roberts (Rekha Sharma), a reporter from The Star-Ledger. Jessica offers her a 7-figure book deal for details regarding her experience as a survivor of a 1996 airplane crash, but Shauna is not interested. Natalie Scatorccio (Juliette Lewis), another survivor from the crash, checks out of rehab in California, telling her sponsor that the experience helped her find a purpose. After leaving, she decides to take a flight.

Taissa Turner (Tawny Cypress), another survivor, is doing a photoshoot with her wife Simone (Rukiya Bernard) and son Sammy (Aiden Stoxx), as she launches her Senate campaign. During the photoshoot, the photographer wants her to address her past, but she wants to leave that behind. She later meets up with Shauna, who used a secret phone to contact her, and Shauna informs her about Jessica. Shauna investigated her, and found that she is not working for any paper. Taissa is not concerned about her, and she reveals that they still keep in touch with the other survivors. One of these is Misty Quigley (Christina Ricci), who now works as a geriatric nurse, and is unaware that Natalie is following her.

In flashbacks to 1996, the Yellowjackets win their soccer game, allowing them to compete in Nationals in Seattle. The leader of the team is Jackie Taylor (Ella Purnell), who is the best friend of Shauna (Sophie Nélisse). As they prepare for a practice, Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown) notes that their teammate Allie (Pearl Amanda Dickson) is not good enough for the team. Fearing that she will cost them the championship, Taissa injures Allie during practice by breaking her leg. That night, the team attends a party, where Shauna accuses Taissa of injuring Allie on purpose. Jackie stops the fight, and gets the girls to apologize and reconcile. Jackie's boyfriend Jeff (Jack DePew) drops her off at her house, and then drives Shauna to her house. They pull over by the road and have sex.

The following morning, the team leaves for the championship on a private plane paid by the father of their teammate Charlotte "Lottie" Matthews (Courtney Eaton). Due to the weather, the plane must take a detour to Canada. Shauna sleeps during the flight, but is woken when the plane experiences severe turbulence. Shauna opens the window shade and sees that the plane is falling and about to crash into the wilderness.

The pilot was written by series creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, and directed by executive producer Karyn Kusama.{{Cite web|title=Yellowjackets - WGA Directory|url=https://directories.wga.org/project/1215168/yellowjackets/|access-date=October 24, 2024|website=Writers Guild of America West}} It was written without any actresses specifically in mind, and auditions were held in Los Angeles. "We decided pretty early on we weren't going to get overly focused on a physical match," Lyle mentioned. As a result, some cast members had to dye their hair and wear contact lenses to match the physical characteristics of their counterparts.{{cite magazine |url=https://ew.com/tv/yellowjackets-creators-preview-showtime/ |title=Yellowjackets creators preview the survival drama: 'We're going to get really, really dark' |date=November 12, 2021 |first=Samantha |last=Highfill |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=December 14, 2021 |archive-date=December 13, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211213220601/https://ew.com/tv/yellowjackets-creators-preview-showtime/ |url-status=live}} Melanie Lynskey was the first person to join the cast. Lyle said the role of Shauna was "the trickiest to cast" because they "wanted to find an actress who could embody somebody who is really trying to figure out who they are, which is kind of a tricky internal thing to express through her acting". Lynskey questioned the showrunners and extracted as much information as she could about her character's past and the five-season storyline to improve her performance.{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/features/melanie-lynskey-yellowjackets-blackmailer-confrontation-1235136886/ |title=Melanie Lynskey Previews a Pivotal Yellowjackets Confrontation and Shauna's Fear of Herself |date=January 3, 2022 |first=Danielle |last=Turchiano |website=Variety |access-date=January 3, 2022 |archive-date=March 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230309153354/https://variety.com/2022/tv/features/melanie-lynskey-yellowjackets-blackmailer-confrontation-1235136886/}}{{cite web |url=https://www.them.us/story/yellowjackets-showtime-finale-jasmin-savoy-brown-liv-hewson |title='The Girls Will Eat': Jasmin Savoy Brown and Liv Hewson Spill Yellowjackets Secrets |date=January 13, 2022 |first=Audra |last=Heinrichs |website=Them |access-date=January 14, 2022 |archive-date=March 9, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230309153338/https://www.them.us/story/yellowjackets-showtime-finale-jasmin-savoy-brown-liv-hewson}}{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-features/yellowjackets-melanie-lynskey-interview-1284100/ |title=Melanie Lynskey Is Mad as Hell and Not Going to Take It Anymore.

Though most of the auditions were held in-person, Sophie Thatcher submitted a self-recorded audition tape and was cast as Natalie before Juliette Lewis, who portrays the character's adult counterpart.{{cite web |url=https://www.eonline.com/news/1311716/how-yellowjackets-assembled-the-best-new-cast-on-tv |title=How Yellowjackets Assembled the Best New Cast on TV |date=December 5, 2021 |first=Tierney |last=Bricker |website=E! |access-date=December 5, 2021 |archive-date=December 6, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206005715/https://www.eonline.com/news/1311716/how-yellowjackets-assembled-the-best-new-cast-on-tv |url-status=live}} When asked if the group's survival would depend on their gender, Thatcher replied, "I think naturally, especially at such a young age, women are more emotionally intelligent. So to turn into that cannibalistic mindset ... it maybe took them longer just because I think women are smarter than men. But I think that's it. Besides that, there's no difference.

Nickerson said it was vital to find two actresses who could portray Misty with "a deep kind of humanity that could make it feel lived in and real"; the role was eventually given to Sammi Hanratty and Christina Ricci. On joining the cast, Hanratty said she originally auditioned for the role of Natalie before being brought back four times to audition for the role of Misty: "I'm not gonna lie, I was so crushed [when I didn't get Natalie] because I loved the project. They said they would keep me in mind. Then, I think it was about a week later that I got the audition for Misty, which was so exciting. Because I was like, 'Oh, {{em|this girl}} is interesting as can be." To give her another chance, Lyle and Nickerson wrote a scene specifically for the casting process in which Misty confronts a teacher over cheating. After Hanratty was brought back, Lyle said "It was immediate. As soon as she read that scene for us, we said, 'OK, she is Misty.'"{{cite web |last=Foreman |first=Alison |date=December 4, 2021 |title=Yellowjackets MVP Misty Quigley is a wild highlight of fall TV |url=https://mashable.com/article/misty-quigley-yellowjackets |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211213231617/https://mashable.com/article/misty-quigley-yellowjackets |archive-date=December 13, 2021 |access-date=December 12, 2021 |website=Mashable}} Hanratty described the auditions as being "really intense".

According to Nickerson, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Tawny Cypress were cast as Taissa because they were both able to portray her with a "level of dynamic strength" as well as "vulnerability and fragility". Ella Purnell portrayed Jackie, a character who proved difficult to cast. Lyle said the character was supposed to be a stereotypical popular girl with "little cracks of that façade". She explained, "I think that her insecurity, her vulnerabilities needed to be on display pretty early on or you'd end up hating her and that was sort of the opposite of what we wanted the audience to feel."

"Pilot" received highly positive reviews from critics. Leila Latif of The A.V.
