In season three, as hidden networks, foreign operatives, and personal betrayals collide, Joe walks the line between duty and home as unseen forces circle her world, leaving her to reckon with a war that now reaches into every part of her life.
Lioness, also known as Special Ops: Lioness, created by Taylor Sheridan streams with his other series (except Yellowstone - on Stan) on Paramount+. Back in October last year, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered back at the start of August.
With an all-star cast including executive Producer and Oscar Winner Zoe Saldaña, Oscar Winner Morgan Freeman, Emmy® Nominee Michael Kelly and Executive Producer and Oscar Winner Nicole Kidman.
Damn what a cast!
This season really belongs to Zoe Saldaña. She owns the eight episodes. The drama, the suspense, the open ended finale. Bring on a fourth season. There is no news yet, however, the more people I talk to, the more are discovering Lioness, for the grit, the drama, the suspense. It's like a whole new Homeland era.
If you are a little behind this Paramount+ premium title, don't read ahead of the trailer! You have been warned.
With NSA support, Kyle tails lobbyist Dmitri Sokolov, suspected of involvement in the kidnapping.
Petrov asserts Joe’s kidnapping was not authorised by Russia, and confirms to Mullins that Yurimov’s return will help ease tensions.
Renat meets with Sokolov in a D.C. bistro to arrange passage out of the country. Joe orders the team to engage, conflicting with NSA orders to detain. Renat executes Sokolov before being shot dead, but the visiting Foreign Minister of Senegal and her security get killed in the crossfire, and Tex and Randy are injured.
When retrieving Yurimov from GTMO Camp Delta, Alex, the handler Kyle imprisoned, recognises Joe from the contract offer he declined and promises details about Renat's benefactors for his freedom.
Yurimov tells Joe that Iran has more personal reasons to target her than Ukraine, and not to underestimate how many people hate the US.
Alex provides further intel implicating Iran via their proxy KSS, but Joe discovers Balakin has already been killed. Joe finds her home empty with a for sale sign outside.
It is revealed that Aaliyah masterminded the kidnapping. Now married to a wealthy man in Qatar, she orders another attempt, wanting Joe to be extracted so she can kill the whole Lioness team when they come to rescue her.
The ending really opens us up to the future of Lioness. Let's hope that Taylor Sheridan's new NBC deal does not impact a fourth season being developed.
