How to watch Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Lioness’ Season 3 for free

The summer of Taylor Sheridan continues with the season premiere of another one of the television creator’s popular series.

“Lioness” returns to Paramount+ for a third season today, Aug. 2, nearly two years after the second season aired. Sheridan wrote every episode of the eight-episode season, which is set to air weekly through September 20.

Paramount is teasing that the Lionesses will face their “most dangerous mission yet” in the espionage thriller’s new season.

“Hidden networks, foreign operatives, and personal betrayals collide” as Joe (Zoe Saldaña) “walks the line between duty and home as unseen forces circle her world.”

The official synopsis continues, “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.”
