Paramount+ will premiere the third season of its spy thriller Lioness on Aug. 2, the streaming service announced Friday. The series, from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, stars Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman.
The season follows CIA case officer Joe McNamara (Saldaña) and her supervisor Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) as they face what the official synopsis calls their “most personal assignment yet.” According to the synopsis, “hidden networks, foreign operatives and personal betrayals collide” as “patterns appear where they shouldn’t, names vanish, and paths rearrange.” Joe, guided by Meade and Westfield (Michael Kelly), “confronts enemies operating in the shadows, leaving her to reckon with a war that now reaches into every part of her life.”
Other cast members returning for Season 3 include Morgan Freeman, Laysla De Oliveira, Dave Annable, Jill Wagner and LaMonica Garrett. Lioness originally premiered on Paramount+ in 2023 and has run concurrent with Sheridan’s other Paramount+ series, including the Yellowstone prequel 1923 and the crime drama Tulsa King.
