"They left that a mystery for me to decide for myself. I think we're going to see this season in the show ... maybe I did. Maybe I didn't. We don't necessarily get a firm answer whether I burned the cabin down or not. The funny thing is ... I remember them talking in the writers' room and I was told by a few writers about this at the end of last season that there was an internal debate in the room about it. Did he do it? Did he not do it? Some writers said, 'Well, yes, of course he did it' and there were some other writers were like, 'Well, I don't know he did.' I think we do a really, really good job of kind of toeing that line in the storyline this season. What ends up happening is that it leads to a lot of the events you see this season."
While he knows himself whether Ben did it or not, the events of that moment have huge implications for the season.
What does Ben's isolation mean?
Krueger has talked about playing a gay man but not wanting it to feel stereotypical or trope-filled. The themes of Ben's isolation really get exacerbated this season. Being ostracized is likely Ben's worst fear as a gay man but here, his character is being separated from the group for entirely different reasons.
He continues, "That's a big touch point this season — the idea of isolation. This idea of what am I personally responsible for as far as getting myself into these circumstances? Is it just unfair? Is it just unlucky or is there actually something deeper going on?"
Krueger spoke about playing a character with a disability with Coach Ben having lost his leg early on in the show — and specifically how his approach has changed over time.
He talked about finding the right physicality for the character considering Ben has now been out in the woods for several months.
Krueger explains how he collaborated with stun coordinator Rhys Williams as well. "We actually figured out three or four positions," he says. "We worked on them over and over again and practiced them so that it looked like I had been doing this for the the past six months. That's an incredibly important part of Season 3 because I don't have help anymore. You know, I don't have the girls to go out and get stuff for me and to bring me food. This is all on me now."
Why he's passionate about directing
"This is has been something I've been wanting to do, more or less as a passion project ... it's something that I've been working on for a couple of years," Krueger says. "By the time we got through most of our season when we were shooting in Vancouver this past summer, I thought, 'Okay, you know what? This is a really good time to hit the gas and finally dive in and do this thing.'"
But the work itself was hard. "I truly cannot believe how intricate and detailed it is and just how exhausting the process can be," Krueger says, later adding that he plans to take the film to the festival circuits.
The first two episodes of Yellowjackets are available to stream now on Paramount+.
