The creators of the hit show Yellowjackets, Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, are passionate about the 90s alt-rock soundtrack they curated. Growing up listening to WHTG, their choices reflect their shared musical history. The show's music supervisor, Nora Felder, faced pressure to continue the success, using a meticulous process including a "gong" method to select songs. While budget limitations exist, the show's popularity has allowed them to secure some initially denied tracks, showcasing the importance of music to the show's narrative and atmosphere.
