The recent change in Shauna ’s wickedness has direct to Lottie , Akilah , and Travis feeling some hard connection between her and the Wilderness , specially after Coach Ben ’s run , but it has n’t always been that way . As has been the case so far , the Wilderness is bound to choose another after a menstruum of prison term .

One detail about the Antler Queen from Yellowjackets ' pilot instalment teases may prove difficult for the show to make a world after time of year 2 .

At this spot in the timeline , the teens still have or so another year beforeYellowjackets ’ present - daylight survivorsare rescue . The survivors were in the wilderness for 19 month , and the Antler Queen title has already been passed on three meter in about half that time . As such , it seems improbable that Shauna would exert her Antler Queen side until the next winter , which is when the expiry of “ nether region girl ” fromYellowjackets ’ fender take billet . Rather than the Antler Queen , it seems like Shauna is the cloak character who strings up and shed blood the dupe before the ritual feast .
