"Lioness" fans are absolutely hooked as season three rolls on.
The hit series created by Taylor Sheridan focuses on the shadowy world of black operations in the CIA and the military.
Season three started on August 2nd on Paramount+, and the season premiere was nothing short of epic. Joe and her team found themselves in Ukraine hunting a Russian agent.
