Samantha Hanratty tells us all about her Yellowjackets journey from auditioning for Natalie to stealing scenes as Misty while on ColliderLadiesNight!
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.
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, beginning with her audition for Natalie, not Misty.
A win for the show, a win for Thatcher, and a win for Hanratty as well who ultimately went on to craft Misty into a character that feels purely her own, and shockingly well-defined even in the midst of her chaotic energy and an extreme coming-of-age journey. However, there was a point when it felt to Hanratty as though the folks behind the show hadn’t quite pinpointed who Misty needed to be.
“I was all about the background work of who she is, why she does what she does, what was her childhood, what were her parents like? You know, all that. And so I talked about it with the writers when we first started, and I basically was like — I feel like nothing was ever confirmed or denied, but there was kind of this generalization of Misty’s parents are probably in the medical field, one or both. She's probably alone quite a bit.
Jumping further into Season 1, we took some time to discuss one particular Misty and Ben moment that sparked a lot of conversation — Ben choosing to lie to Misty about having feelings for her after she just poisoned him in Episode 5, “Blood Hive.
“If she wouldn't have Crystal and the way things have been going with Mari, I feel like Mari would not be here anymore, if I'm being totally honest. I think she would have snapped and either Misty would have died because she would have snapped and everyone would have been like, ‘You're too crazy. You need to go,’ or something bad would have happened because I think even Episode 1 of Season 2, she's so fragile.
