Ella Purnell as Jackie in Season 1 of Yellowjackets
The Big Picture Actor Ella Purnell knew that Jackie Taylor, her character in the hit series Yellowjackets, was going to die a horrible death. But she wasn’t prepared for just how horrible it was going to be. At FanExpo Chicago, Purnell spoke on a panel hosted by Collider’s Steve Weintraub about not wanting to risk her mental health by watching the episode in which Jackie is “cooked and eaten” by her buddies.
Answering a fan question at the Expo about Jackie’s demise, Purnell said that she was in the middle of an extremely demanding shooting schedule for Fallout when she received scripts for the second season of Yellowjackets. But because she was so busy, she didn’t get time to read the episode in which Jackie gets eaten. Instead, she discovered what was going to happen because her castmates sent her selfies of themselves posing with Jackie’s “charred corpse.
“Yeah, it was weird! It was funny, because I was actually… Look, I knew it was going to happen. I’d put two and two together. I was filming Fallout, and the schedule was very, very demanding, and I was exhausted. I was getting the scripts for the second season, but I wasn’t reading them as quickly as I should have. I had a lot going on! I just woke up one morning, and I had all these pictures from my Yellowjackets cast mates taking selfies with my charred corpse.
'Yellowjackets' Will Return for Another Season Next Year Close Purnell confessed that she hasn’t had the courage to actually watch the episode in question. “I don’t know what it’s going to do to my mental health. I don’t want to risk it, so I haven’t seen it,” she said. Yellowjackets was one of the OG pandemic-era hits, capturing the zeitgeist and drawing comparisons to the classic show Lost. The first season premiered in 2021, and the second season premiered in 2023.
