Yellowjackets stars Christina Ricci and Melanie Lynskey have plenty of professional reasons to admire each other (just keep reading).

One of the personal ones? "You'll almost always have a glass of wine at dinner, as will I," Lynskey, 47, tells Ricci, 45, while pairing up for Us' latest "In Conversation" installment. "I do appreciate that." Their early encounters seem typically Hollywood: a movie premiere in their 20s, SoulCycle in their 30s. Since 2019, they've contributed to the sensation that is Showtime's Yellowjackets - and their characters share the screen more than ever in the drama's third season (Sundays, 9 P.M.; Paramount+ with Showtime, Fridays). To recap, they play the grown-up versions of teenage soccer players whose team's plane crashed in the wilderness. Lynskey's Shauna Sadecki has been guarding her feelings ever since, and Ricci's quirky Misty Quigley just wants to fit in no matter how much those around her, Shauna included, push her away.
