Mónica Marie Zorrilla Showtime’s audience has had enough of froufrou escapism: Now it’s teen cannibals, serial killers and loads of way-too-realistic blood captivating viewers.

According to the paycabler, “Yellowjackets” — the buzzy drama with a 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes and plenty of fan theories — finished its first season this past Sunday as the second most-streamed series in Showtime’s history, behind the recently aired “Dexter: New Blood.”The shocking and ominous “Yellowjackets” finale sent over a million shivers down watchers’ spines, amassing around 1.3 million viewers across platforms on Sunday alone, more than doubling its audience from the season premiere.
