Taylor Sheridan’s espionage thriller, Lioness, has resumed production for its third season, shutting down parts of downtown Fort Worth as filming began on October 23. This return to Texas highlights the ongoing commitment to using Fort Worth as a central location for Sheridan’s projects, adding to the anticipation surrounding Taylor Sheridan Lioness Season 3.
Filming affected several key streets, including Main Street between 5th and 6th, Main Street between 7th and 8th, and 8th Street between Main and Houston, with road closures lasting from the evening of October 23 until early October 24. The show’s main cast members, including Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña, and Morgan Freeman, are returning. New to the lineup is Ian Bohen, who will portray Grady, a disciplined Delta Force operator and a primary K9 handler described as “extremely skilled in battlefield tactics.” As a series regular, Bohen is expected to appear in every episode of the season.
Reasons Behind Fort Worth Becoming the Hub for Taylor Sheridan’s Productions
Fort Worth has become a pivotal base for Taylor Sheridan’s creative ventures, with many of his projects using the city’s diverse locations. Alongside Lioness, another of his works, Landman, featuring Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, and Demi Moore, is also currently filming in the area. Significant scenes for Landman have been shot at notable landmarks such as Frost Tower, the Worthington Renaissance Hotel, and Texas Christian University, emphasizing the city’s growing importance to Sheridan’s productions.
Sheridan’s dedication to Texas stretches beyond individual projects; earlier this year, he secured two large studio spaces in Fort Worth through a partnership with Hillwood, a major property development company. Plans are progressing on an even larger facility, with a new mega-studio eight times the size of the current 450,000-square-foot complex under development. This expanded facility will offer multiple sound stages and comprehensive production services, solidifying Fort Worth as the central hub for Sheridan’s expanding television empire.
Anticipated Timeline and Future Outlook for Lioness Season 3
Although Paramount has not yet announced an official release date, the filming for Lioness Season 3 is expected to continue through early 2026. Following the pattern set by the first two seasons, which premiered in July 2023 and October 2024 respectively, the third season will likely debut in the latter half of 2026. Fans of the show can continue streaming the existing seasons on Paramount+ as they await new episodes.
This season promises to deepen the storylines, especially with Ian Bohen’s character Grady, a new addition to the team. Bohen is best known as Ryan from Yellowstone and Evan from Wind River, both Taylor Sheridan creations. His casting connects Sheridan’s projects further and raises expectations for Lioness’s narrative complexity and thrilling action sequences.
