Zoe Saldaña has confirmed she will not be crossing over into other Taylor Sheridan universe shows, citing the intensive demands of leading Lioness. The actress, who plays CIA case officer Joe McNamara and serves as an executive producer on the series, explained that she already has her hands full with the spy thriller, which has just completed its third season and continues to grow in popularity with audiences.

Saldaña revealed the extent of her involvement with the production, noting she is first on the call sheet and begins preparation months before filming starts. As both the lead actor and an executive producer, she is deeply involved in all aspects of the show and described herself as "first one in, last one out," making it impossible to take on additional projects within Sheridan's expanding television universe.
