Actress Lauren Ambrose, known for her Emmy-nominated portrayal of teenage rebel and conflicted artist, Claire Fisher, in the hit HBO series, Six Feet Under, joins Showtimes hit series, Yellowjackets for its second season.
According to a report by Deadline, Ambrose will be a series regular in the series. She is signed on to portray the adult version of the character, Vanessa “Van” Palmer. Actress Liv Hewson portrayed the teenager version of the character in Season 1, where she was romantically involved with Jasmin Savoy Brown’s character, Taissa.
The Emmy-nominated Yellowjackets revolves around a girls’ soccer team trapped in the wilderness after a horrific plane crash. The show follows two timelines: the time the girls spent on the island trying to survive and their adult lives decades later after they were rescued. Its cast includes Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, and Melanie Lynskey. The series goes back into production later this month.
