Taylor Sheridan’s Lioness Roars to Netflix Global Top 10 with 3.4 Million Views!

Taylor Sheridan continues to be exceptionally active in the television industry, with his most recognized work being the creation of the Yellowstone universe. This expansive Paramount neo-Western series has given birth to several successful spinoffs such as 1883, 1923, and an upcoming one titled 1944. Before delving into the world of Yellowstone, Sheridan had already made a name for himself in Hollywood as a screenwriter, penning films like Sicario (2015), Hell or High Water (2016), and Wind River (2017), the latter of which he also directed.

After the phenomenal achievement of “Yellowstone”, Sheridan has significantly increased his influence on the small screen. He developed shows such as “Mayor of Kingstown”, featuring Jeremy Renner and set for season 4, and “Tulsa King”, the crime drama starring Sylvester Stallone returning for its third season. More recently, he introduced “Landman”, a popular series headlined by Billy Bob Thornton. Notably, among all his creations, there’s one that might just be his most action-packed.

Lioness Has Become A Global Netflix Hit

The Taylor Sheridan Show Finds Renewed Success

After its premiere on Netflix in 2023, the Paramount+ series featuring Zoe Saldaña as Joe, a CIA program leader, climbed up Netflix’s top 10 list. The show, which stars Nicole Kidman, Dave Annable, Laysla De Oliveira, and Morgan Freeman, initially received mixed reviews from critics upon its debut. However, the second season, released in October, was met with much more positive reception. This shift in response has given the series an average Rotten Tomatoes score of 73%.

Fresh insights from Netflix have unveiled that during the week of April 14-20, Lioness, particularly its first season, claimed the sixth position among English-language shows worldwide. The series amassed a staggering 3.4 million views in total, and was watched for an impressive 20 million hours. Interestingly, Lioness made it to the top 10 list in a total of 22 countries, and even secured the first position in three countries, namely the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago.

What This Means For Lioness

Will Season 3 Happen?

The final episode of the second season for “The Lioness” aired on December 8, 2024, however, there’s no confirmation about a third season as of now. There hasn’t been any formal announcement concerning the show’s continuation, but the fact that the finale wasn’t labeled as a series finale could be an encouraging indication. The fate of the series largely depends on viewership on Paramount+, and given its popularity on Netflix, this could work in favor of a potential season 3.

It’s worth mentioning that only the first season of “Lioness” can be streamed on Netflix, not the second one. Consequently, fans who liked the first season might decide to subscribe to Paramount+ to carry on watching, which could increase the chances of a third season being produced. Although the future of “Lioness” is uncertain, it’s evident that it’s resonating with a large number of new viewers on a platform like Netflix, which has a broader global reach compared to Paramount+.
