Yellowjackets has added a big name to its cast for season three. According to Deadline, Hilary Swank (above, Alaska Daily) is set to appear in the Showtime series as a recurring guest star. She may also become a series regular if the dark drama is renewed for a fourth season.

Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Lauren Ambrose, Simone Kessell, Elijah Wood, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, and Kevin Alves star in the drama series, which follows the survivors of a plane crash. The Yellowjackets series goes back and forth in time, between the present day and the past, when the teens managed to survive in the Ontario wilderness for 19 months following a plane crash.

No details about Swank’s role were revealed, but she is likely playing the present-day counterpart to another teen survivor who has not been seen much in the series yet.

The premiere date for season three of Yellowjackets will be announced later.
