Zoe Saldaña Opens Up About Massive Cliffhanger Ending in Taylor Sheridan’s Lioness Season 3

Zoe Saldaña says the finale turns Aaliyah into the mastermind behind Joe’s abduction and shows Neal leaving with their two children.

  • The Lioness Season 3 finale, streaming on Paramount+, revealed on Sunday that Aaliyah Amrohi masterminded the kidnapping and torture of CIA operative Joe McNamara, stunning star Zoe Saldaña.
  • Aaliyah's vendetta stems from Season 1, when Marine Cruz Manuelos killed her father, Asmar Ali Amrohi, and fiancé, Ehsan, transforming her from innocent pawn into a hardened mastermind seeking revenge.
  • In a personal blow, Joe discovered her husband, Neal, had left with their two children, making good on his threat to leave as her dangerous CIA career consumed their marriage.
  • Emerging as a "nefarious force," Aaliyah now targets Joe's entire team, including supervisor Kaitlyn Meade and operative Cruz, knowing they will attempt her rescue.
  • While Paramount+ has not officially greenlit Season 4, it is "just a matter of time," with Saldaña expressing hope these characters are "worth it" for future seasons.
