Played by: Sophie Thatcher and Juliette Lewis Nickerson added, "We can't believe the cast we have." "Early on we said this is a really big challenge and I think we really need to focus on the essence of the character as opposed to the specifics of their physicality," Lyle explained, "and in a weird way, by doing that, we ended up with actors who miraculously all could look a lot alike." While they were casting two people to play one character, a physical consistency wasn't the top priority for the creative team. "I have so much empathy for every single person that walked into the room." "Oh man, it's just a tough day," she added. Nickerson and his writing partner and wife Ashley Lyle were heavily involved in the casting sessions, which Lyle described as "emotionally devastating." "And it was, 'Oh my god we have so many roles to fill and we are not finding the right people,' but then it just all somehow comes together after hours and hours and hours." "It really felt like production was bearing down on us," co-creator Bart Nickerson said. Somehow, Yellowjackets was able to stack both sets, but the process wasn't without its turbulence.
Now imagine searching for two casts, one to portray the 1996 timeline and the other to present the survivors in the present-day. This is one of them."įinding one ensemble cast to bring a show about a high school soccer team that becomes cannibals after a harrowing plane crash was always going to be a challenge. "Then, a couple days later the other person will be like, 'You know, here's a thing we can do with that idea or here's an idea for a character,' and they kind of end up having their own gravitational pull. "We are married to each other and spend an obscene amount of time together, and so we are just always throwing ideas back and forth, and some of them get a 'huh' response and others might even get that same response but then they kind of just take hold, take root a little bit," Lyle told E! in a recent phone interview. Some couples argue over where to order out dinner, Lyle and Nickerson debate storylines. The duo, who previously worked on Narcos and The CW's The Originals, first thought of the concept for the show in 2017, during one of their many marital pitch conversations. Okay, so it's not traditional, but that is the very loose origin story behind Yellowjackets, Showtime's buzzy new drama created by husband-and-wife showrunners Bart Nickerson and Ashley Lyle.
They then get married and write a show about a soccer team who turns into cannibals.
