If you want action that respects the story underneath it, Lioness is available in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on fuboTV and Paramount Plus Premium right now. The 3-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Zoe Saldaña anchors the chaos with real screen presence. Start it on Paramount Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Lioness keeps coming up in conversation. Lioness moves fast and earns its action sequences rather than just delivering them. Cruz Manuelos, a rough-around-the-edges but passionate young Marine, is recruited to join the CIA's Lioness Engagement Team to help bring down a terrorist organization from within. Joe, the station chief of the Lioness program, is tasked with training, managing and leading her female undercover operatives. Zoe Saldaña and Laysla De Oliveira lead a cast that earns every set piece rather than just filling it. Across 3 seasons (2023–2024), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For viewers who want their entertainment to move fast and not waste a scene, Lioness respects your time. Viewers who responded to Homeland will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Zoe Saldaña brings a physicality to the role that elevates every set piece. Action that earns its sequences rather than just delivering them.

Lioness is currently airing new episodes, created by Taylor Sheridan — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
