Speculation is growing that "Lioness," Taylor Sheridan's CIA and military thriller currently airing its third season on Paramount+, could be renewed for a fourth season, after signs that a new writer is joining the show's writers' room. The development matters to fans of Sheridan's expanding television universe, as it would extend one of his most acclaimed series at a time when the current run has been drawing strong praise for raising the stakes with each episode.

The third season of "Lioness" has so far received glowing reviews, with the article's writer describing the first three episodes as "nothing short of excellent" and predicting the story will only intensify. The fourth episode of season three is due to stream on Paramount+ this Sunday, while the report notes that a writer joining the show's creative team is being read as an early indicator that a further season is being planned, though no official renewal has been confirmed by Paramount+ or Sheridan.
