The cast ofYellowjacketshas high hopes for an adult version of Van potentially appearing on the series someday.
The series shows the teens as adults 25 years later through starsMelanie Lynskey(Shauna),Christina Ricci(Misty),Juliette Lewis(Natalie) and Tawny Cypress (Taissa). All of the women are still coping with their shared experiences from their time in the Ontario wilderness — but Van has yet to be seen as an adult on screen, as her fate is still unclear.
“Because I very much want [Liv] to be on the show forever and ever,” she said, according toEntertainment Tonight. The New Zealand-born actress added that Van is her husbandJason Ritter’s “favorite character.”

Like Lynskey,Sammi Hanratty, who plays teenage Misty, is also eager to have an adult Van join the show.
“I’m excited to see where all that goes. And I truly love working with Liv ‘cause we got to do all that wolf stuff together and it was really intense,” the 26-year-old said, referencing the scene where a pack of wolves attacks the group of girls after they leave the cabin to search for help.
After the panel, Cypress, 45, toldEntertainment Tonightthat she’d love to see Taissa and Van reconnect as adults.
“Taissa’s marriage seems to be in shambles,” she said, referencing her character’s present-day relationship with estranged wife Simone (Rukiya Bernard). “It’d be really fun to see an adult Taissa meeting up with an adult Van and where that goes and what that history is all about.”
