Academy Award winners Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldaña‘s hit spy thriller drama, Lioness, has finally received a third season renewal at Paramount+. Before this, the latest installment received a Tomatometer rating of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes nearly a year after it concluded its eight-episode run. In addition to starring, Saldaña and Kidman are also serving as executive producers.
At the moment, further details about Season 3’s plot and release date are still under wraps. This renewal comes after the recent news about Kidman’s surprising divorce from Grammy winner Keith Urban. The couple was married for 19 years and had two daughters.
