Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Lioness’ sets season 3 release for Fort Worth-filmed show
Taylor Sheridan’s “Lioness” is premiering its third season later this summer.
The Zoe Saldaña-led Paramount+ series began filming in Fort Worth in October 2025 and wrapped in March. The espionage thriller follows CIA operative Joe (Saldaña) as she balances her “personal and professional lives as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror.”
Paramount announced Friday, June 5 that “Lioness” season 3 will premiere on Sunday, Aug. 2.
“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 (Nicole Kidman) and Westfield (Michael Kelly), Joe confronts enemies operating in the shadows, leaving her to reckon with a war that now reaches into every part of her life,” the season 3 synopsis states.
