‘Yellowjackets’ Star Melanie Lynskey on Shauna’s Growth in Season 3: She’s ‘Relaxing into Herself’

For Melanie Lynskey, playing cannibalistic crash survivor Shauna Shipman on “Yellowjackets” is about walking the line between comedy and drama.

“You look at my character, and she’s imbued with the history of the past,” Lynskey told Variety. “She’s been through so much. She found out she was pregnant, then had this horrible loss.” While Shauna has endured more than her share of trauma, Lynskey enjoyed the character’s more lighthearted moments in Season 3, especially in the 1990s-era storyline in which Sophie Nélisse plays a young Shauna.

“Shauna’s relaxing into herself,” Lynskey explained. “There’s not a lot of time for being very jokey. So it’s nice to start bringing in more scenes where Sophie is allowed to be a little funnier. She’s very funny.”

As for Shauna’s approach to parenting Callie (Sarah Desjardins), Lynskey says Shauna isn’t particularly concerned with her daughter’s increasingly violent tendencies. “Many things don’t seem like a big deal to Shauna. She’s like ‘I understand that it’s not great, but also, coulda been worse.’ She doesn’t want to punish punish her.”

Desjardins says Callie is just eager to connect to her mother in any way she can, which is why she begins wearing Jackie’s (Ella Purnell) necklace in the present day. “It’s knowing how close Jackie and Shauna were. There’s a fascination there because Callie is longing for that closeness with Shauna herself,” Desjardins explained. “The writers play with these moments where elements of Callie purposefully remind Shauna of Jackie. Callie’s yearning and looking for ways to be close to her mom.”

Another Yellowjacket yearning for acceptance is Misty Quigley, who continues to be an outcast in the wilderness despite her survival skills. According to Samantha Hanratty, who plays the 1990s version of the character, Misty would rather the whole team like her than make one true friend.

“She’d want the approval of the whole group, unfortunately. At least where she’s at in her teenage years. Maybe as she gets older, she’d pick Natalie [Sophie Thatcher]. They have an invisible tie to each other,” Hanratty said. “Where she’s at in her teenage years, she just wants everybody to like her. And not just like her, but need her.”

Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom detail lively wedding weekend celebrations
Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom's wedding celebrations featured stilt walkers, a bonfire on the beach and "mermaid" swimming. The couple - who got engaged ast summer after two years of dating - tied the knot over the weekend at the Hotel Esencia in Xpu Há, Mexico, where they had previously enjoyed a weekend away, and wanted their guests to enjoy a "taste of [their] dream weekend in the Mayan Riviera paradise". The guests spent Thursday (13.03.25) night on the beach with a bonfire, before the couple held their rehearsal dinner the following evening. Those celebratios began with cocktails on the roof terrace before toasts from friends and family by the pool. Nicole told Vogue magazine: “Many tears were shed and we were overwhelmed with gratitude for the people who have made such a huge impact on our lives, both as individuals and as a couple." They then enjoyed more drinks, using local vendors and entertainers, and "got the party started". The 30-year-old actress noted: “Our band for the night, The Cubanismos, really got the party started. As did the stilt walkers!” The wedding ceremony took place at 5pm on Saturday (15.03.25), but the weather meant a slight change of plans with the venue. Nicole - who wore a custom gown by her friend Victoria Beckham - explained: “We had initially wanted to get married down by the water, but when we woke up on Saturday morning, the wind was incredibly strong and sand was whipping around. We pulled the ceremony back into a tucked away cove. The ocean was still visible but we were protected under a canopy of palm trees.” The 'Paradise' star's sister sang 'Moon River' as she walked down the aisle. Nicole said: “It was so moving to hear her beautiful voice wafting over the soft waves as my step-father Dan McNulty and I made our way through all our family and friends toward Justin at the end of the aisle." The pair have opted to keep the contents of their wedding vows private. Justin said: “All I’ll say is, it was wonderful. Ceremonies with vows are about the words contained within them. And they are better left un-described here. That being said, the officiant said some wonderful things, and my wife was just… well, incredibly touching. I was very moved.” Nicole added: "I kept saying I felt so at peace and so loved all weekend. "Our officiant and my brother-in-law, Patrick McQuade, had us take a moment at the top of our ceremony to face our guests and really soak in the moment. I was overwhelmed with gratitude, love, and joy. "To see so many faces smiling back at me from so many different walks of life and generations felt incredibly grounding and magical. Looking into Justin’s kind, hazel eyes during the ceremony made me feel very safe and loved.” After saying I do, the 53-year-old actor and his new wife took 10 minutes to themselves before kicking off their celebrations. Nicole said: “It was the greatest little reset before rejoining our favorite people for cocktail hour on the lawn." Eliot Sumner opened the reception with two songs before speeches came from Nicole's stepfather and her two sisters, who were joint maids of honour. Nicole said: “All three speeches moved me to tears. Justin’s best men were fantastic and had all our guests belly laughing by the end of their toasts.” A mariachi band played while the couple headed to the floor for their first dance to 'I've Told Every Little Star' by Linda Scott. Justin said: “A first dance and an homage to David Lynch." Nicole added: "We danced for three hours straight with all our guests beneath a canopy of disco balls. My 93-year-old grandma, Laura Bloom, was the life of the party.” The guests who celebrated until the end found themselves inside a little speakeasy within the hotel. Nicole said: “It was rowdy with great music—and Patrick, our officiant, just kept yelling ‘This is the best night of my life!’ "A few mermaids ended up swimming in the pool above. It was the perfect celebratory way to end a fabulous weekend!”
