**Analyzing the Symbols in *Yellowjackets* Season 3’s Opening Credits**

*Yellowjackets* features not only one of the most intriguing opening sequences on TV but also one that warrants careful observation. While the central visuals stay constant from season to season, accompanied by Craig Wedren and Anna Waronker’s eerie track *No Return*, subtle alterations often suggest potential plot developments.

With Season 3 now available, we’ve scrutinized the updated opening credits to reveal new imagery and its possible implications.

### A Sketch of a Horizontal Body

A brief visual in the credits presents a crude sketch on paper, illustrating what seems to be a body positioned flat. The drawing additionally showcases three prominent spikes at the bottom.

Could this represent a design for something ominous? Maybe a trap? The illustration closely resembles the pit from Season 1’s opening scene—where the enigmatic “Pit Girl” met her horrific end. This may signal the origins of that lethal setup.

### A Playing Card Being Drawn

Season 2 brought forth the chilling ritual of card drawing to decide who would be hunted and consumed. This practice, revived in the contemporary storyline at Lottie’s wellness center, makes another appearance in the opening credits. An image of the Queen of Hearts being drawn implies that this cruel tradition could persist into Season 3.

### Tai and Van Preparing to Kiss

Tai (Tawny Cypress) and Van (Lauren Ambrose) have weathered many difficulties, yet in Season 2, they found solace in one another. A fleeting moment of them leaning in for a kiss in the new credits suggests that their intricate romance will continue to be a central theme in the forthcoming season.

### The Girls Shifting Wooden Planks

In the earlier timeline, an overhead view captures several of the girls maneuvering wooden planks across the forest ground. Although it’s challenging to discern their identities, the scene prompts inquiries. Are they building something? Concealing something? The flatness of the boards may indicate they’re setting a trap—or even hiding a body.

### A Girl Drifting in Water

One of the most enigmatic visuals in the latest credits is a brief top-down image of a girl in a white dress set against a dark backdrop. It seems she might be drifting on water, possibly at risk of drowning. While the implication remains unclear, it could serve as a hint for a pivotal moment later in the season.

***Yellowjackets* Season 3 debuts on Paramount+ with Showtime on February 14, with a new episode released weekly.**
