The Wilds (2020)
7.3/10on IMDb
First aired
Teenage girls stranded after a crash bring old hierarchies and private wounds into the work of surviving together. The Wilds is the most direct link to Yellowjackets' pressure on a female group, though its explanation moves in a different direction. Choose it for alliances that cannot be understood from the island scenes alone. Its two-season run ends with major developments unresolved after cancellation, so it is an especially poor choice if closure is the main thing you need next.

The Society (2019)
7.1/10on IMDb
First aired
The teenagers in The Society find themselves without the adults and institutions that ordinarily organise their town. Deciding how to distribute resources becomes inseparable from deciding whom to trust. Pick it for Yellowjackets' question of how a group invents rules and then gives people authority to enforce them. The setting is a deserted town rather than wilderness, with one cancelled season leaving its larger mystery and political conflict unfinished.

Dare Me (2019)
6.7/10on IMDb
First aired
The cheerleading team in Dare Me has physical discipline, ambition and loyalties that a new coach can disturb very quickly. It is the best connection if Yellowjackets' charged team relationships matter more than the crash or the supernatural suggestions. Choose it for how intimacy and authority shape what young women will do for one another. The tone is dark and coercive, and the single cancelled season does not resolve every strand.

Cruel Summer (2021)
7.4/10on IMDb
First aired
Cruel Summer's first season revisits a teenage disappearance across three years, letting public accounts and private experience alter the meaning of familiar encounters. Its link is the gap between what happened and what people need others to believe happened. Choose it for female relationships under intense social judgement rather than group survival. The anthology's second season tells a different story, so begin with the first if shifting time and reputation are the strongest attractions.

The Leftovers (2014)
8.3/10on IMDb
First aired
After an unexplained disappearance changes the world, the people in The Leftovers try to organise grief into rituals, certainties and ways of carrying on. It connects to Yellowjackets through the emotional use of belief and the difficulty of living after an event nobody can fully explain. Pick it for an adult ensemble whose experiences matter more than a mechanical answer to the premise. Its three-season story reaches an ending without converting every uncertainty into a solved fact.

The Terror (2018)
7.8/10on IMDb
First aired
The first season of The Terror traps a naval expedition in Arctic ice and watches its rules of hierarchy become less adequate to the situation. The naval crew is male, but the link to Yellowjackets is how hunger, fear and leadership change what survival can justify. Choose it for historical horror with a sustained first-season story. Graphic suffering and violence are prominent, and the supernatural threat does not replace the danger people pose to their own group.

The Third Day (2020)
6.4/10on IMDb
First aired
The island community in The Third Day has customs that newcomers struggle to interpret and grief that makes apparent certainty seductive. Its connection is the uneasy space between a group's rituals and one person's need to believe in them. Pick it for a strange, sensory limited story rather than a straightforward mystery with an equally weighted clue trail. The two main television sections follow different visitors; atmosphere and psychological vulnerability are central to both.

FROM (2022)
7.8/10on IMDb
First aired
FROM forces residents of an inescapable town to build routines around a danger they cannot explain and rules they cannot safely ignore. Choose it for Yellowjackets' combination of group politics, fear and competing ideas about what might keep people alive. The mysteries unfold through a continuing horror serial, so this is a choice for staying with uncertainty rather than demanding a quick completed explanation. Its frightening violence is not just an occasional interruption to the communal story.

The Chalet (2018)
7.0/10on IMDb
First aired
The French-language The Chalet brings a group back to a remote village and lets an earlier history intrude on a present-day gathering. Isolation makes it harder to escape either the danger or the versions of the past other people carry. Choose the short 2018 mystery for the link between adult relationships and what happened years before. Its revenge-thriller construction is more compact and less interested in prolonged social collapse than Yellowjackets.

Katla (2021)
7.0/10on IMDb
First aired
People in Katla's Icelandic town have to confront figures and possibilities that unsettle their accounts of loss. The volcanic setting supplies isolation, but grief is the more important connection to Yellowjackets' adults. Choose it for a slow, eerie eight-episode story about what somebody might accept if an impossible event seemed to answer a private need. It is Icelandic-language viewing with a different kind of emotional uncertainty from the anchor's survival narrative.
