The creators of the popular TV series “Yellowjackets” find themselves in legal hot water after being accused of infringing on the 2015 film “Eden”. A lawsuit was filed in a California federal court against Showtime, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., and other parties associated with “Yellowjackets”. The allegations suggest that the series borrowed heavily from “Eden”, a film that depicts the harrowing tale of soccer players forced into cannibalism following a plane crash in the wilderness.
The accusation points to a striking similarity in plot elements between the two narratives, potentially suggesting unpermitted use of creative content. For further details on this legal proceeding, interested parties can review the lawsuit as reported by Law360.
