That the final season of Yellowjackets features the high school soccer team being rescued and returning home is no secret. A trailer for the show — as well as, you know, the previous three seasons — suggests that the homecoming won’t be a completely happy occasion.

The trailer (see it below) toggles back and forth between the 1990s-set post-crash ordeal, a newly introduced timeline following the survivors after their homecoming, and the present day. In the post-rescue scenes, the young Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown) delivering a speech saying “more than anything, we survived because of love.” Mm-hmm.

The trailer also features Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” — continuing her association with the show — and several brutal scenes set in the wilderness, along with Hilary Swank’s Melissa apparently sitting for a TV interview about her experience after the crash.

The final season will follow a host of revelations, including the identity of “Pit GIrl” and who was responsible for killing Lottie in the present day, from the season three finale.
