Lioness Season 3 Finale Is Out: Every Episode Date on Paramount+ and Season 4 Status (2026)
Quick answer — the Lioness season 3 finale, “The Unravelling,” came out on Paramount+ at 3 a.m. ET on Sunday, Sept. 20. All eight episodes are now streaming, and season 4 has not been announced.
Taylor Sheridan's spy drama ran one episode a Sunday from Aug. 2, so if you were waiting to binge, the wait is over. The table below has every episode date; the release-hour chart is kept for reference if the show returns.
What time did Lioness episodes come out?

How many episodes are in Lioness season 3?
Eight, which matches the first two seasons. Titles and runtimes below come from TVmaze's episode listing; the dates are the Sunday each one became watchable in the U.S.

What is season 3 about, and who's in it?
Paramount+'s own description keeps it vague on purpose: Joe runs into hidden networks and foreign operatives while personal betrayals follow her home, with Kaitlyn and Westfield steering from above. We're not going further than that here — this page is a schedule, not a recap.
Zoe Saldaña leads as Joe McNamara, with Nicole Kidman as Kaitlyn Meade, Morgan Freeman as Edwin Mullins and Michael Kelly as Byron Westfield. Laysla De Oliveira, Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan and Genesis Rodriguez round out the credited cast.
Is Lioness renewed for season 4?
Not yet. As of Sept. 22, two days after the finale, Paramount+ has not announced a fourth season.
| Signal | What it says |
|---|---|
| The finale | Ends on open cliffhangers rather than a wrap-up, with a returning antagonist set up for more |
| Writers' room | Michael Idov said in August he had joined as a writer and supervising producer (MovieWeb) |
| Cast | Jill Wagner, who plays Bobby, has said publicly she expects another season |
| Timing | Season 3 was confirmed Oct. 1, 2025, about ten months after season 2 ended — so silence now is normal |
None of that is a pickup. We'll update this page when there is one.
