Lioness Season 3 needs to address these 5 burning questions left unanswered in Season 2

The Lioness Season 3 anticipation is huge, not only because Paramount+ officially renewed the series but also because Season 2 just left everyone with so many cliffhangers. Taylor Sheridan has become infamous for closing a door while opening three new ones in fanfare style, and this series is no different.

The audience is waiting now to see how Lioness Season 3 will resolve the complex web of spycraft, treason, and personal sacrifices that were left hanging in suspense in Season 2.

Have a look at the five massive questions that must be answered when Lioness Season 3 resumes on TV

1. Did Josie perish in the helicopter accident?

The biggest and most pressing question to begin Lioness Season 3 is whether Josie had survived the explosive helicopter crash. Season 2 left us with a cliffhanger, and everyone was left wondering in suspense. Whether Josie died or not would flip the mission and the team's morale on its head.

Whether or not she had died would be the emotional fulcrum for Season 3, the tone of which would be established in revenge, regret, and reoriented allegiances.

2. What happens to the injured team members?

Season 2 left a few of the agents gravely wounded, and their fate was to be determined deliberately. These are not background fill-in non-face extras; these are the Lionesses' core. Season 3 has to tell us who survived, who will be benched forever, and how group dynamics are altered.

They will have a very important impact on the missions and group dynamics of the group from that point forward.

3. How will the personal relationships be impacted?

The second massive cliffhanger is in the personal storylines set up between missions. From family drama to nefarious relationships, the emotional beat of the show has never played second fiddle to action. Season 3 will be watching how those relationships hold up under the pressure always pressed against them.

Will frayed alliances repair, or will the burden of watchfulness eventually break them beyond any likelihood of repair? It's not a subplot, it's the emotional filter through which viewers look at the greater geopolitical drama.

4. What geopolitical showdowns will be center stage?

Season 2 set up bigger global showdowns, including threats looming large that stretched far, far beyond the immediate mission. And although the Iran mission was a highlight, its genius wasn't for clearing the world's question about who is in charge.

Lioness Season 3 has to put the global players on the table. Will the series get serious about the Middle East conflict, or dig elsewhere? The viewer calls for Sheridan's hallmark ability of making realpolitik and fictive tension the new norm here.

5. Is the team able to trust its own leaders?

Trust and mistrust accompanied them every step during Season 2. Leadership, betrayal, and behind-the-scenes agendas pursued the operatives down every side street. Lioness Season 3 will be forced to ask themselves if they will ever be able to trust the superiors who are above them, or if they are going to be undone by self-destruction through conflict from within.

The war is not so much about the enemy before them on the opposite side of the war; sometimes, the most lethal assassin is in the command position.

All in all, Lioness Season 3 will have to answer these five simple questions to the audience's satisfaction and leave some new ones. From Josie's survival to what geopolitics and leadership of trust in the future, the injured team members, the show has more on its menu than it can handle to unravel.

Sheridan has never missed showing that he enjoys having viewers at the edge of their seats, while at the same time being intelligent enough to provide them with what they require. Lioness Season 3 would be the most captivating season of the series if well handled.
