Behind The Geeks | Our Conversation with the Composers of Yellowjackets

This is our conversation with Yellowjackets composers Anna Waronker and Craig Wedren. In this in-depth conversation, we explore the sonic mystery box they’ve crafted over the past three seasons of the show. From eerie guttural vocalizations to layered dissonant harmonies—and even deep forest tree burps—they break down key sections of the score, revealing how they capture the intense emotions of the characters. Plus, they discuss the unique challenges of composing for the same characters at different points in their lives, from their teenage years to adulthood.

Yellowjackets Season 3 is streaming now on CraveTV in Canada.
