Paramount+ announced today that Lioness has been renewed for a third season. The news comes 10 months after the espionage thriller wrapped its 8-episode sophomore run.

Originally titled 'Special Ops: Lioness,' the show debuted in 2023 and set a new record as the streamer's most-watched worldwide series premiere on launch day with nearly six million total viewers in its first week across Paramount+ globally and a linear preview on the Paramount Network.

The series follows Joe, a young Marine who is trying to balance her personal life with her professional life as the tip of the CIA's spear in the war on terror. The Lioness Program enlists an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the agency's efforts to bring down the organization from within before the next 9/11 can occur.
