Another day, another Taylor Sheridan series.
Lioness isn’t another Yellowstone spinoff, though. The series, now entering its third season, is described by Paramount Plus as an “intense, female-led espionage thriller” and features Oscar winners Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman, who star in and executive-produce the counter-terrorism drama.
Season 3 continues to follow Joe McNamara (Saldaña) as she works with Lioness, the CIA’s undercover program, which serves as “the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror.” The series goes global, with supervisors Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and Byron Westfield (Michael Kelly) still guiding her missions from the Situation Room in DC.
The problem is the war she’s fighting has now followed her home.
Joining Saldaña, Kidman and Kelly in Lioness are Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman, Laysla De Oliveira, Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Genesis Rodriguez, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, Hannah Love Lanier and Ian Bohen.

How to watch Lioness season 3 with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with your favorite shows while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. A VPN can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes, such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.

If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
