Paramount+ has released a series of new photos from the highly anticipated third season of Lioness, giving fans a fresh look at the next installment of Taylor Sheridan’s hit espionage drama. The streaming platform confirmed that Season 3 will premiere on Sunday, August 2. 

Production began in Fort Worth in October 2025 and wrapped in March, marking the second consecutive season the series has filmed across North Texas. The new season once again follows CIA operative Joe (Zoe Saldaña) as she balances her “personal and professional lives as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror.”

According to the official synopsis, “Hidden networks, foreign operatives, and personal betrayals collide. Joe walks the line between duty and home as unseen forces circle her world. Patterns appear where they shouldn’t, names vanish, and paths rearrange. Guided by Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman) and Westfield (Michael Kelly), Joe confronts enemies operating in the shadows, leaving her to reckon with a war that now reaches into every part of her life.”

Alongside the release date announcement, Paramount+ unveiled a collection of new images teasing the action, intrigue and characters that viewers can expect this season. It is worth noting that much of the cast from the first two seasons is set to return.

Here’s a look.

Disgraced rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing fresh allegations of sexually assaulting a minor almost two decades ago.

A former child actor has filed a lawsuit against Combs under the name John Doe, as per TMZ.

The lawsuit alleges that Doe, then a working child artist, attended a Hollywood Hills party in 2007 as a networking event, where he met Combs. The man claimed that the rapper invited him to talk privately about career opportunities.

Once alone, the actor claimed that Combs began to “touch” and “rub” him before allegedly performing oral sex on him while also pleasuring himself.

The documents say that the man told the rapper that his actions were making him uncomfortable, but the rapper persisted.

When he was done, Combs told the man he would “see where they would go from there for the role he had in mind” regarding a future project and then left a room.

The former child actor then said in the lawsuit that he left the room in shock.

Apart from Combs, defendants in the case include the talent agents reportedly hired to represent the man as a child actor, as per USA Today. The filing claims the individuals were negligent to put the actor in a spot to “encounter powerful adult industry figures” when his age would potentially render him “vulnerable to manipulation, coercion, exploitation, and abuse.”

The man also put forward accusations of sexual battery, childhood sexual assault, negligent supervision of a minor, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment in his lawsuit. He is asking for a jury trial as well as an unspecified amount in damages, costs and fees.

Juda Engelmayer, a representative for Combs, called the lawsuit “false and ridiculous” in a statement to USA Today. “He’s just another hater in a long list of people trying to get in on the money gravy train encouraged by personal injury lawyers. Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone – and that includes any child! These allegations will be disproved like all the rest,” the statement read.

Combs is presently serving a 50-month sentence for two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office is also reviewing a case involving Combs.

“First Aditya Chopra wrote the story of #Tiger3 and #War2, destroyed the spy universe beyond repair. Now #Alpha’s story is written by Uday Chopra; looks like it will be the final knell in the coffin. Also, absence of #Sharvari is completely baffling,” added another person.
