Clayton Davis One of the biggest stars and standouts of Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” Christina Ricci, will be submitted in the supporting actress drama category, Variety has learned exclusively. She’ll now compete alongside her young co-stars — Ella Purnell, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher and Samantha Hanratty.
The campaign had initially planned to have her alongside her fellow “adult-version” co-stars Tawny Cypress, Juliette Lewis and Melanie Lynskey. Instead, they will still seek consideration in the lead actress drama race, as previously reported.The horror drama flashes back and forth between two periods: One, the aftermath of a plane crash, as the members of a high-school girls’ soccer team have to fend for themselves; the other, in their adult lives, as they deal with the trauma of that experience.
Ricci plays the awkward but devilishly intoxicating Misty, one of the series’ brightest spots. As a result, her chances for receiving her second Emmy nom have increased significantly in a category that’s light on frontrunners, aside from Julia Garner from Netflix’s “Ozark” and Sarah Snook from HBO’s “Succession.” Her first nom came in 2006 for her portrayal as Hannah Davies for ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy” in guest actress drama.Read more: Variety’s Awards Circuit Emmys Predictions HubAlso, a larger allotment of slots in supporting versus lead will be in her favor.
