Taylor Sheridan’s Spy Thriller Officially Makes Paramount+ History With Season 3

Paramount+ says Season 3 of Taylor Sheridan’s espionage drama *Lioness* achieved the show’s strongest audience figures yet, after a finale that ended on a cliffhanger. The numbers suggest the series has built momentum and may strengthen the case for another season, but Paramount+ has not announced whether it will renew the show.

The finale drew 9.7 million views in its first seven days, making it the most-watched *Lioness* episode and the fifth most-watched finale among Paramount+ originals. Season 3 averaged 8.5 million views per week, up 62% on Season 2; Nielsen figures also put the show above one billion minutes viewed during finale week and at 3.9 billion minutes over eight weeks.
