Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Terminal List’ Replacement Is Officially a Streaming Hit

Taylor Sheridan’s Lioness, starring Zoe Saldaña, has become a major streaming hit, drawing 3.9 billion minutes viewed in eight weeks. The figures make it a strong option for viewers of The Terminal List, with both series exploring covert operations and the risks faced by people working within powerful institutions.

Lioness centres on Joe McNamara, a senior CIA officer who leads a programme inspired by a real initiative. After a mission in Syria ends with an undercover operative dead, Joe recruits Cruz Manuelos, a Force Recon Marine, to infiltrate the circle around the daughter of an Iranian financier accused of supporting terrorism.
