Alright, grab your popcorn and your fake CIA badge, because Zoe Salda?a might be diving back into her badass spy boots for Special Ops: Lioness Season 3¡ªand we are absolutely not calm about it.
After snatching her first Oscar (cue confetti and chaos), Zoe is making power moves all over Hollywood. One of her most talked-about projects? Lioness, the Paramount+ thriller that has us all questioning our career choices. Should we also have been secret agents with elite-level eyeliner and tactical gear? Perhaps.
Developed by Yellowstone overlord Taylor Sheridan¡ªaka the man who writes shows like he is personally avenging someone¡ªLioness has been a solid hit. Featuring a powerhouse cast including Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, and of course, Zoe, the series has delivered high-stakes drama, political intrigue, and enough plot twists to give your group chat whiplash.
Season 2 was a whole thing. Like, Mexican cartels, kidnapped Congress members, and oh yeah¡ªa full-on geopolitical crisis with Taiwan. Salda?a¡¯s character, Joe, held it all together with a side of sass, strategy, and probably way too much caffeine.
Now the question on every fan¡¯s mind: Is there a Season 3? So far, Paramount+ has zipped its lips tighter than a spy¡¯s alias. But in a recent Vanity Fair feature, it was mentioned that Zoe has committed to at least three seasons. Translation? The mission is very much not over.
Still, it is not all sunshine and covert operations. While Zoe is seemingly locked in, there is some tea brewing with the rest of the cast. Genesis Rodriguez might be moonlighting in Netflix¡¯s The Night Agent, which could throw a wrench into the scheduling board. And Kidman and Freeman? Their contracts are a mystery¡ªclassic spy behaviour, to be honest.
If the pattern holds, fans could expect Season 3 to drop in early 2025. Until then, it is a waiting game filled with conspiracy theories, Reddit threads, and rewatching Joe dismantle patriarchy with precision.
Zoe is clearly not ready to hang up her badge just yet. And honestly? Neither are we.
