Yellowjackets season 2, episode 2 spoilers follow.
Yellowjackets' stars have revealed some of the cast threw up while filming the shocking twist in the show's latest episode.
In the newest instalment, the teens decided to burn Jackie's body, before snow fell on the corpse and left it perfectly cooked. They then proceeded to eat it. Yup.
Speaking about the gross scene, Shauna actress Sophie Nélisse told Entertainment Weekly: "It was definitely shocking for us when we walked in and saw dead Jackie on the wood.

"Even though we were eating fake, like, rice paper, the image was so vivid. What we were picking at seemed so real that our brains couldn't decipher and we were all gagging as soon as they called cut. It was gross."
Jasmin Savoy Brown (Taissa) added: "It was rice paper for the skin and then the inside was jackfruit. The consistency felt like flesh. A couple people threw up. And if you think that's bad, it's only episode 2."
Co-showrunner Ashley Lyle explained that they had "a lot of conversations early on in the writers' room" about the scenes, explaining: "We were like, 'Let's just go crazy early and announce our intentions'. We're setting the bar there and then we're gonna try to top it."

Fellow showrunner Jonathan Lisco added: "One of our many mantras is that the show is not about whether cannibalism [happens]. We tell you that in the pilot. It's about why."
He further explained: "We are the kind of writers who feel like we can do this early, because the show is not just about shock value, it's not just about incidents or concrete plot.
"And we have a lot of emotional and psychological terrain to explore beyond what happens at the end of episode 2."
Yellowjackets season 2 airs on Showtime in the US and Paramount+ in the UK.
