Taylor Sheridan-created spy thriller Lioness returned for its season 3 on Paramount+ this August. Led by Zoe Saldaña, the series follows an elite CIA programme that recruits, trains, and leads female operatives, known as Lionesses, to infiltrate and dismantle terrorist organisations. Saldaña plays Joe McNamara, a CIA station chief who runs the programme.
From high-octane missions to a star-studded cast led by Saldaña, Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman, the series has built a fiercely loyal audience since its 2023 debut.
Season 3 raises the stakes with personal betrayals, foreign operatives and hidden networks. Forced to balance duty with family, McNamara finds herself surrounded by enemies operating in the shadows, threatening to destroy the fragile peace she’s fought so hard to protect. What’s coming for her in the new season might be the most personal fight of her career.
