The release date of the second installment of Yellowjackets on Netflix depends on several factors, primarily the licensing agreement between Showtime (the original broadcaster) and Netflix. Typically, a streaming service acquires rights to a show a set period after the season finale airs on its original network. This delay allows the network to maximize viewership on its own platforms before offering the content elsewhere.
Securing streaming rights provides benefits for both parties. For Showtime, it generates additional revenue streams from content already produced. For Netflix, it enhances their content library, attracting new subscribers and retaining existing ones with popular and critically acclaimed shows like Yellowjackets. Historical precedent shows that these deals often take several months, though specific contract terms dictate the exact timeline.
