- The first full trailer for Lioness season 3 has been released
- Taylor Sheridan’s series is set to return to Paramount+ on August 2
- Zoe Saldaña, Michael Kelly, Morgan Freeman, and Nicole Kidman will all return
We’ve only spent a few weeks without a new episode of a Taylor Sheridan show to stream, but the first full trailer for Lioness season 3 has been released (which you can catch up with below).
Premiering on Paramount+ on August 2, the core cast, including Zoe Saldaña, Michael Kelly, Morgan Freeman, and Nicole Kidman, is all set to return.
As the official synopsis explains, “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.”
While the first teaser trailer already gave us a 60-second insight into what’s to come, it’s neither Joe’s new dilemmas nor the upcoming action that’s actually the most impressive part of what’s to come.
Opinion: Lioness season 3 retaining its A-List supporting cast speaks volumes about Taylor Sheridan
Watch On
After the success of Avatar, Lioness is likely Saldaña’s most well-known and established project. But for Freeman and Kidman, it’s a drop in a much wider ocean.
There’s a long-standing joke that Kidman must be the busiest woman working in the industry, as she doesn’t seem to go more than a few months without having a new project to promote.
Just this year, that includes Scarpetta, Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Lioness season 3, and Practical Magic 2. On top of this, she’s just finished filming Scarpetta season 2, and Big Little Lies season 3 is being teased like there’s no tomorrow.
Retaining Kidman’s involvement at all, let alone how much we’re expecting to see her in new episodes, is nothing short of a miracle. The same can be said for Freeman but for different reasons — the man surely doesn’t need to work, so project selection becomes picky. He is Morgan Freeman, after all.
Honestly, I’m incredibly impressed that both are returning for Lioness season 3 with seemingly healthy screentime, and that speaks volumes about Taylor Sheridan as a creator. Names like these two will only keep showing up if everything across the board is of the highest quality, from script to on-set experience.
Sheridan is nailing his A-List castings, from Demi Moore in Landman to Michelle Pfeiffer in The Madison. Clearly, there’s a good reason why.
