Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Hilary Swank may be looking to add an Emmy to her already impressive awards shelf. Variety has learned exclusively that the two-time Academy Award winner will be submitted for consideration in the outstanding guest actress in a drama category for her surprise role as adult Melissa in the horror-thriller series “Yellowjackets,” which streams on Paramount+.

Swank made her first appearance in the March 28 episode — the eighth installment of the show’s third season — in a jaw-dropping twist that finally revealed the long-speculated fate of Melissa.

In the episode, adult Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) discovers that Melissa is not only alive, but living under a new identity with a family unaware of her traumatic past.

The emotional reunion escalates into a violent confrontation, offering Swank a dramatic showcase in one of the season’s most pivotal episodes.
