The buzz for the second season of Yellowjackets grows ever louder as the premiere date grows closer, and there is a major buzz surrounding Lauren Ambrose's upcoming appearance as the adult version of fan favorite Vanessa "Van" Palmer.

Ambrose responded to the knowledge that fans, and even the teenage version of Van, Liv Hewson, thought she'd be a perfect casting choice and addition to the series in a new interview with Entertainment Tonight. She said she wasn't aware that her name was at the top of any lists, fan-cast or official. "But I definitely had the experience of watching the show and being like, 'Well, gee, can I be on this show or what?'" Ambrose said she's also been working with Hewson to integrate their versions of Van together. "It's a process that is happening as we speak. And Liv created a beautiful character that wasn't even necessarily meant to stick around. And because of Liv's very cool, beautiful performance, I get to be part of it now, too."

The first season was brutal, as the talented New Jersey high school soccer team, the Yellowjackets, ended up stranded in the Canadian wilderness after their plane crashed and divided themselves into different groups. The team members that survived resorted to tactics they never thought they'd have to for survival's sake. Yellowjackets also showcased, in addition to flashbacks, some cut-forwards to the adult versions of the Yellowjackets, and how they are still dealing with the aftermath of what happened all those years ago. We predict that season two will show more of the same, and it will be interesting to see what Ambrose brings to the character of Van.
