What’s happened? Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan’s hit CIA action series, Lioness, has been officially renewed for a third season on Paramount+.
- The news about Lioness season 3 was first announced on October 1, roughly ten months after the season 2 finale aired in December 2024.
- No official logline or cast list for season 3 has been revealed yet.
- Stars Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman will reprise their roles on Lioness for season 3 and serve as executive producers.
Why this is important: This news confirms Lioness‘s future after several months of waiting.
- There had been word in August that the series would be renewed by Paramount+, which was finally confirmed today.
- As stated in season 2’s logline, Lioness previously showed that “the CIA’s fight against terror moved closer to home” and that “Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman), and Bryon (Michael Kelly) enlisted a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat.”
- Development for the show was reportedly delayed to fit the schedules of its many prominent stars.

Why should I care? Lioness has become one of Paramount+’s most popular shows, and fans will get to see the story continue in season 3.
- Lioness‘s season 2 premiere reportedly reached 12.4 million viewers worldwide, with the show’s viewership rising to 4.8 million to 5.4 million households.
- Sheridan’s work, particularly Landman, Tulsa King, and the Yellowstone franchise, has become increasingly popular on Paramount+, so Lioness may continue to be another success story from him.
OK, what’s next? Given the amount of time it took for season 3 to be greenlit, it will still be a while before Lioness returns with new episodes.
- Audiences can catch up on the first two seasons of Lioness on Paramount+.
