Warning: SPOILERS for Yellowjackets season 2!Yellowjackets season 2 has come to a close in a fittingly disturbed and gripping fashion. The hit Showtime series grabbed the attention of viewers worldwide when it debuted in 2021, and now has successfully ramped up the suspense, horror, and thrills that made it a hit, even while explaining things like the first season’s cannibalistic ritual. Although production of Yellowjackets season 3 has been halted due to the writer’s strike, there is much of season 2 worth stewing over.

Just as with season 1, Yellowjackets season 2 is given even more depth and impact thanks to its musical score, which has been provided by Anna Waronker and Craig Wedren. Wedren and Waronker created an eerie and at times hauntingly beautiful soundscape for season 1 that they expanded and iterated on in unique ways this time around. They even got to flex their songwriting muscles for a standout scene involving adult Misty, for which they wrote the musical number “Sit Right Down”.

Anna Waronker and Craig Wedren spoke with FilmmakerFocus about their reactions to the events of the season, their partnership, and more. Note: This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.
