Alanis Morissette releases new version of main theme song 'No Return (Extended Version)' from SHOWTIME drama series 'Yellowjackets'

Press Release

Seven-time Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Alanis Morissette has released a new single, “No Return (Extended Version),” a brand-new version of the main title theme song from the SHOWTIME Emmy-nominated drama series “Yellowjackets.”

The new single debuted in the fourth episode of the hit series’ second season and is available to download and stream globally via Universal Music Canada. “No Return (Main Title Theme)” by “Yellowjackets” composers Craig Wedren and Anna Waronker, was originally released in January 2022.

“I love the original version of ‘No Return.’ It's just a perfect song. It was a little daunting to be asked to reinterpret it, but I see parallels between ‘Yellowjackets’ and my perspective while songwriting: the sheer intensity, that going for the jugular with no fear around going for the profane,” Morissette said. “I’ve strived my entire career to support the empowerment of women and sensitives, and see the world through the female lens, and what's so wonderful about this show is that each character is allowed to be dynamic and complex as opposed to oversimplified, reduced versions of women. I feel honored to be a part of the legacy of ‘Yellowjackets.’ ”

Season two of “Yellowjackets” debuted March 24. New episodes are available weekly on Fridays on streaming and on demand for all SHOWTIME subscribers before making their on-air debut on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The premiere episode of season two became the most streamed season debut in SHOWTIME history.

Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson (“Narcos”), “Yellowjackets” is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

In season two, two months have passed since Shauna gave Jackie the cold shoulder – to disastrous results. In the face of their deepening hunger and fear, the tension among our Yellowjackets has only grown worse. The harsh conditions of winter are intensifying by the day, and the psyches of our survivors are deteriorating just as fast. Threatened by the darkness of the wilderness – and the haunting memories of it in the present – our former state champs will be forced to make impossible decisions. As they confront the horrible truth of what survival entails, the real nightmare for each of them will be to figure out who they are – and what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive.

Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, “Yellowjackets” stars Emmy nominee and Critics Choice Award winner Melanie Lynskey, Oscar and Emmy nominee Juliette Lewis, Emmy nominee Christina Ricci and Tawny Cypress. Lauren Ambrose and Simone Kessell have also joined the second season as series regulars, along with Elijah Wood in a season-long guest arc. Season two also stars Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole and Kevin Alves.
