Review of Seasons 1 and 2: From Survival to Secrets
Season 1 introduced us to a high school girls’ soccer team whose plane crashed in the remote wilderness, forcing them into a bitter battle for survival. The narrative fluctuated between her harrowing past and the survivors’ complex lives 25 years later, revealing dark secrets and the psychological consequences of their ordeal. Season 2 delved deeper into the group’s descent into primal instincts, exploring themes of power, trauma, and the haunting influence of their shared history.

The trailer for season three wastes no time in ratcheting up the tension. We see the return of our key survivors – Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), Misty (Christina Ricci), Taissa (Tawny Cypress) and Natalie (Juliette Lewis) – each dealing with the ghosts of their past. The Wilderness timeline suggests escalating power struggles, with Shauna’s chilling line, “I can’t believe we didn’t eat that bitch first,” suggesting deeper fractures within the group. What’s notable is that the trailer announces the arrival of a new character, portrayed by Hilary Swank, whose intentions remain obscure but are sure to cause a stir.
