The harsh conditions of winter are intensifying by the day, and the psyches of our survivors are deteriorating just as fast.

"Yellowjackets" star Christina Ricci appeared on "The Late Show" and spoke to Stephen Colbert about the passive aggressive tactics she uses IRL.

Yellowjackets: Christina Ricci Claims The Cast Was Terrified ... (Looper)

Christina Ricci told Stephen Colbert why returning for "Yellowjackets" Season 2 was so nerve-wracking for her.

"I was pregnant at the time," Ricci explained, "so my walk was because I had a baby inside of me. In many ways, Misty is one of the most tragic characters in the series. So when I went back to do Season 2, I was like: 'why can't I do the walk?'" Now without the help of her pregnancy, the experienced actor would have to rediscover her character. Sure, there is cannibalism, murder, and implications of the occult, but Misty Quigley is one in a million. As the new season is on the horizon, [the Season 2 trailer](https://www.looper.com/1222703/yellowjackets-season-2-trailer-is-a-screaming-good-time/) has more Misty than ever, and audiences can expect even more chilling shenanigans. But then you have to go back and do it again."
