Married writing duo Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson created one of the buzziest series of the 2021–22 season with “Yellowjackets,” in which we have yet to see exactly how “Lord of the Flies” a girls’ soccer team goes after their plane crashes in the wilderness.
The argument for the stunning savagery of girls — and their traumatized adult counterparts — has been made frighteningly well on the series, which is nominated for seven Emmys, including Best Drama, Best Writing and acting nods for Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci.
The series creators, who share showrunning duties with Jonathan Lisco, are currently prepping the Season 2 but took time to discuss their nominations and some of their biggest influences with TheWrap.
