Lioness is returning for its third season on Paramount+ this summer. Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman are back as Joe and Kaitlyn, with the Lioness team deployed on what the official description calls “its most personal assignment yet.”
What happens in Season 3 of ‘Lioness’?
According to the official description, Season 3 sees “hidden networks, foreign operatives, and personal betrayals collide. Joe (Saldaña) walks the line between duty and home as unseen forces circle her world. Patterns appear where they shouldn’t, names vanish, and paths rearrange. Guided by Kaitlyn (Kidman) and Westfield (Kelly), Joe confronts enemies operating in the shadows, leaving her to reckon with a war that now reaches into every part of her life.”
Saldaña told Entertainment Weekly that Season 3 was particularly demanding. “I had various conversations with Taylor [Sheridan] in terms of where he was gonna take it, and I really am so happy and proud of the direction that he eventually took,” she said. “It was very demanding, I’m not gonna lie.”
Cast member James Jordan, who plays operative Two Cups, told ScreenRant earlier this year that the season will “take us all over the world” and put “the microscope on what these folks do” and “why they’re so devoted” to Joe.
