Will there be a third season of “Lioness?”
The season two finale of Lioness has left fans shell-shocked, leaving many curious to figure out how the Taylor Sheridan series will find its bearings should Paramount+ renew the show for a third season.
What started as a show exploring the lives of women in the CIA, has unravelled into a dizzying maze that includes busting child trafficking rings, cartel dealings, and a looming global conflict with China and its plan to invade Taiwan. The operatives, known as lionesses, often struggle with their moral convictions when carrying out their high-stakes missions—the last of which ended explosively.
Here's everything we know so far about an potential third season.
Was Lioness renewed for a third season?
Though it’s unclear whether Lioness is up for another season, there’s a good chance its viewership may influence its renewal. The show shattered records in America during the launch of its second season, roping in three million households in the first seven days, according to TheWrap.
Zoe Saldaña, whose character Joe fiercely leads a pack of operatives, told Vanity Fair in November that she “signed up for three seasons at least,” implying a third season might be underway. Details are yet to be confirmed, but it’s safe to say that things are looking pretty good for season three.
When will the third season of Lioness be released?
Without an officially confirmed renewal, Lioness doesn’t have a targeted release date yet. Looking back at past seasons, there was an 11-month wait between the premiere of season one and the announcement of the show’s renewal at the time—meaning another season may not be confirmed until a few months before it drops.
What will Lioness season three be about?
In the final moments of the second season, Joe (Saldaña) and her team have scarcely escaped death after an intense action sequence, targeting the Chinese nuclear scientists in Turkey. It’s hard to say what direction the mission will take next, though we hope to see more battles pan out in a potential upcoming season.
There are plenty of other lingering plot points left: Will Joe’s marriage end in divorce? And will Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) and Josephina (Genesis Rodriguez) finally reveal they are developing feelings for one another? Lastly, will Joe take a back seat from the mission next season, allowing for the show to shine a spotlight on Cruz? Or will the powerful pull of Joe’s duties keep her just as involved in the action as she has been since the beginning?
By impossible odds, the Lioness team survived their last battle—but we’ll be waiting on their next one.
