What is the plot for season three?

With the girls’ cabin burning down at the end of season two, seemingly lit by Coach Ben, the team will be forced to look for shelter – in the middle of winter. Not to mention Lottie names Natalie as their new leader, which ruffles some feathers.

Meanwhile, in present-day, the adults are reunited which turns sour when Misty accidentally kills Natalie – in stead of protecting her. Now, she must live with the guilt.

In December 2024, Paramount+ confirmed the complicated team will continue their descent to savage clans, while also tracking their lives 25 years later.

“Proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over,” the announcement read.

“The girls have been out there for a while—and they’re thriving. We’re in the midst of [writing] right now. I don’t want to give too much away. I always get in trouble,” she said.

“I will say we see Season 3 as a little bit of a return to Season 1 in terms of the vibe, though.”
