Taylor Sheridan's spy thriller Lioness has become the most-watched series on Prime Video's global VOD chart, despite carrying a modest 6/10 rating, as its third season nears its conclusion. The show, starring Zoe Saldaña as CIA operative Joe McNamara, has outperformed titles including Revealed Secrets, Big Brother and Sheridan's own Landman, underlining the continued commercial pull of his sprawling television output even when critical scores are mixed.

Lioness Season 3 features returning stars Morgan Freeman, Nicole Kidman, Michael Kelly and LaMonica Garrett, and has drawn stronger reviews than some earlier instalments, holding an 85% average on Rotten Tomatoes, one of the highest scores in Sheridan's Paramount+ slate. With just one episode left, airing on 20 September, the finale's logline teases "Kyle's chase sparks deadly fallout as Joe uncovers a wider plot." The news comes as another Sheridan project, Landman's third season, faces a third production delay, with filming for Tommy Norris's (Billy Bob Thornton) return now starting this month.
