In more recent years, Ringwald played Mrs. Flynn in the Kissing Booth movies and will soon be seen in a new rom-com releasing this August titled One Night Only.

Who will Molly Ringwald play in Yellowjackets Season 4?

Per Deadline, it has now been announced that Ringwald has been cast in Yellowjackets Season 4, which will be the final entry in the popular Showtime series. Ringwald will play a character named Vicky, who is Van’s mom and a recently “recovered alcoholic trying her best to course correct her past.”

Creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson previously said in a statement about Yellowjackets ending with Season 4, “After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season. We’ve always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it’s our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen. 

“Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we’re so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life. Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery and meal — the Hive is nothing without you! We can’t wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it…delicious.”

A premiere date for Yellowjackets Season 4 has not yet been set, though it is expected to arrive at some point in 2024.
