Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount+ espionage thriller returns August 2 with its most personal and dangerous mission yet
The war has followed Joe home.
Paramount+ has set Sunday, August 2 as the premiere date for the third season of Lioness, Taylor Sheridan’s female-led espionage thriller, and released a first look image that signals the show has not softened.
Season 3 picks up after one of the most brutal finales the show has produced. Joe led an unsanctioned raid into Iran to eliminate a pair of Chinese nuclear scientists, survived a downed helicopter and a punishing enemy firefight, and returned home hollow-eyed and barely holding. Her husband was waiting on the front steps. She walked inside. The mission, for a moment, was over.
It is not over.
In Season 3, hidden networks surface, foreign operatives move in the margins, and personal betrayals begin cutting closer than any enemy combatant has managed to. Joe walks the line between duty and the life she keeps almost losing. Patterns appear where they should not. Names disappear. Guided by Kaitlyn and Deputy Director Byron Westfield, played with cool authority by Michael Kelly, Joe now faces a war that has stopped being abstract. It lives in her house. It knows her name.
Saldaña and Kidman return alongside Oscar winner Morgan Freeman, Emmy nominee Michael Kelly, Laysla De Oliveira, Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Genesis Rodriguez, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, Hannah Love Lanier, and Ian Bohen.
The series is executive produced by Sheridan, David C. Glasser, Saldaña, Kidman, Ron Burkle, David Hutkin, Bob Yari, Michael Friedman, Jill Wagner, David Lemanowicz, Geyer Kosinski, and Keith Cox, and is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. Seasons One and Two are currently streaming on Paramount+.
