Hanratty shared earlier this month that she and husband Christian DeAnda, who also works in the biz in animation and visual effects, were expecting their first child together. They wed in 2023 after three years of dating.

Yellowjackets follows an all-girls high school soccer team who survive a plane crash deep in the Canadian wilderness, tracing their descent from a winning team to a cannibalistic clan. Hanratty, Nélisse, Brown, and Sophie Thatcher play the core group as teenagers, while Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, and Juliette Lewis fill the roles of their adult counterparts recounting details about their survival two decades later.

"It’s interesting, because Misty is such a comedy piece," Hanratty ruminated of her character — the teenage version of Ricci's character — last year. "She’s the kind of person that everybody can kind of chuckle at, and have a good laugh at. But she doesn’t view herself as that, so I have to take her as seriously as possible. Now that I’m watching the show, I get to laugh and have fun, but when I’m filming it, I really try to keep her seriousness, to keep her where she believes that everything that she’s doing is 100%. She doesn’t know that everybody’s always making fun of her, you know?"

The Emmy-nominated series recently cast Joel McHale, fresh off a menacing turn on FX's The Bear opposite Jeremy Allen White, in a guest star role — though details about his character are still hidden deep in the Canadian wilderness. Notable additions last season included Elijah Wood, Lauren Ambrose, and Simone Kessell. A premiere date for season 3 hasn't been set yet, but production is said to be targeting sometime in 2025.
