A Murder at the End of the World creators Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij are a resilient duo. Instead of letting disappointment linger, the longtime creative partners quickly rebounded after the cancellation of their beloved genre-bender The Oa and channeled its many profound takeaways into their next story. The Netflix series struck a deep chord in viewers around the world, and seeing firsthand the community and energy that had formed around their work, Marling and Batmanglij further trusted their storytelling instincts until a new name rose to the top of their collective mind: Darby Hart.

“Six Feet Under” alum Lauren Ambrose has been cast as the adult version of Van, the stranded soccer team’s goalie, in Season 2 of “Yellowjackets,” Showtime announced on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Liv Hewson, who plays the character as a teen, has been upped to a series regular for the second season. The addictive series follows a girls’ soccer team whose plane crashed in the wilderness in the ’90s and the still-troubled survivors who harbor secrets about what exactly happened after the crash.
The fate of Van, who was mauled by a wolf but survived, was not revealed in Season 1. We don’t yet know if the other women know Van is alive or if they’ve been in contact with her since the rescue.

Lauren Ambrose has been cast in the second season of the Emmy-nominated drama “Yellowjackets,” Showtime announced on Thursday. “Yellowjackets” will begin production on Season 2 later this month in Vancouver, and Ambrose is set to play the adult version of Van, who’s portrayed as a teenager by Liv Hewson. The company simultaneously announced that Hewson has been promoted to be a series regular in the show’s second season.
The casting of Ambrose answered a question the “Yellowjackets” fandom has had about whether Van had made it home alive. “Yellowjackets” follows the aftermath of a New Jersey high-school girls’ soccer team whose plane crash left them stranded in the wilderness, where they create their own society (and seemingly turn to cannibalism) before being rescued 19 months later. The show unfolds in two timelines: the stranded girls who survived the crash in 1996, and their adult selves 25 years later.
