Lioness season 3, which will once again star Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman and Michael Kelly, will debut on Paramount+ on Sunday 2 August – meaning there are just two months left to wait.
The synopsis for season 3 says that it sees "hidden networks, foreign operatives, and personal betrayals collide".
The synopsis continues: "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."

Of course, Lioness isn't Sheridan's only ongoing series - far from it.
Other series he is working on include Yellowstone spin-offs Marshals and Dutton Ranch, Mayor of Kingstown starring Jeremy Renner, Sylvester Stallone's Tulsa King and its upcoming spin-off Frisco King, Landman and The Madison.
Lioness season 3 will start airing on Sunday 2 August. Seasons 1 and 2 are available to stream on Paramount+ now – sign up for Paramount+ here.
