Buzz buzz, Yellowjackets fans! We're almost ready to be dragged back into the creepy woods of teen chaos, with the arrival of Season 3 of the Showtime series.

Which characters have died on Yellowjackets Seasons 1 and 2? Who's been eaten? Who's been murdered? Let's recap all those currently either pushing up daisies or lining the bellies of our lost teammates.
