Yellowjackets Interview: Samantha Hanratty on Lottie & Misty's New Bestie

- Yellowjackets is a true casting feat. Not only did creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson and casting directors Libby Goldstein and Julie Lowry-Johnson find the perfect pairings for the 1996 and present-day versions of the characters, but they also managed to pinpoint some of the most promising young talent on the rise in film and television, talent like Samantha Hanratty.
Hanratty plays the 1996 version of Misty on Yellowjackets. Before the Wiskayok High School soccer team’s plane crashes, Misty is a total outcast, an overeager equipment manager who just wants to be part of the group. When the plane goes down in the wilderness on the way to nationals, Misty finally gets a taste of what it’s like to be wanted. As the only crash survivor with medical know-how, the other Yellowjackets turn to Misty for triage and recovery. Trouble is, that inspires Misty to secretly destroy the plane’s emergency transmitter so that she can retain her newfound value rather than revert to being at the bottom rung of the social ladder back at school.
At the start of Season 2, no one knows Misty obliterated their chance of being rescued, but they are well aware of a number of other troublesome things she’s done. For example, taking things way too far with Coach Ben (Steven Krueger) to the point of poisoning him when he wouldn't reciprocate her feelings, and also having had a hand in accidentally turning “Doomcoming” into a psychedelic nightmare when her mushrooms were added to the team stew. Now no one trusts Misty, almost entirely isolating her minus her connection to Lottie’s (Courtney Eaton) rituals and finding a new bestie in another group outcast, Crystal (Nuha Jes Izman).
In celebration of Yellowjackets Season 2’s big debut on Showtime tonight, Hanratty joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to recap some of her earliest steps and influences in the industry, and also to dig into the wild ride she’s experienced being part of the Yellowjackets cast.

Misty is my favourite character in the show, Christina and Samantha both do an incredible job portraying our unhinged Queen
misty is one of my absolutely favourite characters in the show, samantha brought her to life so vividly, she's so immersed in the character, that sometimes I forget, that she's acting and not the teenage girl I'm looking at at the screen (the whole cast did, but misty amazes me)
yes, she's socially awkward and it's hard for her to make friends, but she's so skilled and she was so calm & collected in the second episode of s1, scene, when she amputate ben's leg + when she's helping injured members of the team, she grabbed my attention immediately.
She's kind and care for her friends so much in her own misty way and just wants to be appreciated, hence her behaving a bit odd, but yeah, I love misty sm
She gives a whole new meaning to dollface.
Haha in Salem she was called Dollie
Def one of the most talented actresses in gen z!
loved her energy!
Misty is such a cool character!
She would make a great Harley Quinn
YES!!!
She's starting to look like Christina.
This actress is killing it as teen Misty she is definitely going places.
Shes the best character in the show
LMAO when I hear Viola Davis speak i feel the same way too @9:37 lol
HA I remember that HTGAWM epi where she played the crazy high school mean girl. She went off! 😂
Now I really want to know who that casting director is and what kids film it was (I’m thinking Harry Potter).
She’s not from the UK, pretty sure it’s not for that lol. Also, she’s a lot younger than the cast too.
Def not harry Potter. They did an open casting call for kids to audition for that part.
That's the entertainment business folks. As a drummer i've had auditions where you literally get yelled at.. Won't describe it but similar to what samantha was referring to. Basically they treat you like a piece of garbage if they're not happy with what you're doing or if they're in a bad mood... In my case I ended up getting the drumming gig but the guy who hired me was just having a horrible day. I quit two weeks later... He seemed to have horrible days every day.
He probably hates either his life or himself.
How fun 😁
She was an asshole in The suite life of zack and Cody LOL 😂 I remember her in Thats so Raven too lol. She played a total nutcase in Shameless and again another total nutcase in Yellowjackets hahaha. Samantha Hanratty deserves a lot more solid roles in her future!
Love Jeff on this show
Hear me out, if Akila survives, Viola Davis plays her as an adult. 🤷♀️
That would be the dream, but i'm pretty sure all the survivors have been revealed. if anyone else was left something would have been mentioned at the compound.
Damn did she audition for a Dan Schneider clone?
Hm... Maybe Mari is the girl who dies in the Pilot... 🤔
probably. it is interesting that Pit Girl is running around in a nightgown knowing now that they lost the cabin. means that they've def found another source of shelter.. one where its comfortable enough to dress down into a nightgown in the dead of winter.
@@penoyer79 I hope you are right...
2 сезон этого сериала настолько ужасен, он состоит из воды и радуги на 99%.
Но игра молодых актрис всё ещё хороша,особенно Лотти и Мисти.
Кристина Риччи и Джульет Льюис отвратительные актрисы ,уровень их игры равен видео тик-тика.
