Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Lioness’ Officially Renewed for Season 3 After Long Wait
It’s finally official: Taylor Sheridan‘s Lioness has been renewed for a third season.
The CIA action-drama has been announced as renewed 10 months after its season two finale aired last December.
Word of the pending renewal was first reported in August, but the studio finally confirmed the news Wednesday. The show was delayed to accommodate the schedules of its star-filled cast.
Sheridan’s production team has otherwise been running quite a fast-paced schedule as of late. Both Landman and Tulsa King managed to grind out new seasons in less than a year, with Landman returning for season two on Nov. 16 and Tulsa King having returned with its third season (now renewed for a fourth) on Sept. 15.

No word yet on a description or cast list for the third season, other than stars Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman returning (the two are also executive producers on the project).
In season two, according to the show’s official description, “The CIA’s fight against terror moved closer to home. Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman), and Byron (Michael Kelly) enlisted a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat.” Kidman received a 2024 Critics Choice Award nomination for best supporting actress in a drama series for her role in season two.
The second season also starred Morgan Freeman, Michael Kelly, Laysla De Oliveira, Genesis Rodriguez, Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill and Hannah Love Lanier.
The series is produced by Paramount Television Studios and 101 Studios. The first two seasons are currently streaming on Paramount+.
