The announcement was made today by Gary Levine and Jana Winograde, Presidents of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.

"Ashley and Bart are not only great writers, but they are also wildly original thinkers and creators," said Levine. "I'm not sure I would want to go camping with them, but I sure as hell love working with them, and I'm thrilled they will be working at Showtime for years to come."

"We are beyond grateful for Showtime's partnership, advocacy, and vision throughout this whole process. David Nevins, Gary Levine, Jana Winograde, Amy Israel, Dave Binegar, and the whole team believed in the potential of Yellowjackets and have been tenaciously supportive of us from the very beginning," said Lyle and Nickerson. "We couldn't imagine a better place to have landed (pun intended) and are thrilled to be continuing this journey with them. Buzz buzz buzz."
