American forces capture her, and she’s interrogated by Joe and her team. With a thick accent,\u00a0this new character defies them all as her team of mean-looking men cause trouble on American streets (more on that in a moment).<\/p>\n
Confirmation comes at :19 in the trailer as Joe and Neal are talking to one another with ABC News on in the background. The lower-third on the television reads: “The Apprehension of a Russian Foreign Agent.”<\/p>\n
3. An Attack at Home<\/h3>\n
Take this literally. At 1:12, Joe is running an intruder off her property, and elsewhere we see American police getting killed and some sort of U.S. diplomat assassinated.<\/p>\n
Two menacing men we’ve never met before appear across the trailer. One is thin and bald and the other has dark features and a beard.<\/p>\n
I suspect these are the villains Joe’s quick response force (QRF) team will be chasing during episodes of Lioness<\/em> Season 3. It looks like they score a pretty major win at some point.<\/p>\n The bad men get somebody. Here is a screenshot from 1:39. Who do you think it is?<\/p>\n Season 2 ended with S1 Lioness Cruz and S2 Lioness Josie becoming romantic. Their relationship was a secret between them, and it seems likely they’ll keep it that way as not to compromise their mission.<\/p>\n Several\u00a0clips from the two Lioness<\/em> trailers hint at a progression, including one that finds both women in tight tops and short skirts (at 1:58 below) with seduction on their mind.<\/p>\n I actually think they’re working during this scene, because they look to be trying to seduce a dark-haired man, and a micro-second later we get signs that they’re\u00a0going to capture him. Still, it looks to be a gig the women are very much game for.<\/p>\n Ian Bohen joins Season 3 of Lioness<\/em> as Grady, a US Army Delta Force operator and K9 handler. That’s why there are two separate dog scenes during these trailers \u2014 they’re his dogs!<\/p>\n Of course, Bohen was Ryan, one of the most trusted ranch hands on Yellowstone<\/em><\/a>. Country music fans remember him as Lainey Wilson<\/a>‘s character’s boyfriend.<\/p>\n It’s worth mentioning that the entire cast of Lioness<\/em> is returning.<\/p>\n That includes Nicole Kidman<\/a> as Kaitlyn Meade, Morgan Freeman as Secretary of State Edwin Mullins and Michael Kelly as CIA Deputy Director of Operations Byron Westfield.<\/p>\n Two Cups, Randy, Tex, Tucker and Bobby are all back on Joe’s team, and Kyle will return as well.<\/p>\n If you doubted the intensity of the microscope I use\u00a0for these trailer videos, you won’t any longer.\u00a0As Joe is having difficult conversations with her daughters, they’re breakfasting on Lucky Charms and a gluten free cereal called Three Wishes.<\/p>\n As if Mama\u00a0McNamara doesn’t have enough to worry about. She’s got to keep wheat and other allergens out of the house, too!<\/p>\n Lioness<\/em> Season 3 begins on Aug. 2 on Paramount+. These pictures preview a lot of action, a little bit of heart and some new enemies.<\/p>\n Joe, Kaitlyn, the full QRF (Quick Response Force) team and war room will be back for Season 3 of Lioness<\/em>. You’ll even spot a few new characters in this photo gallery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Billy Dukes<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n4. Does Cruz or Josie Get Kidnapped?<\/h3>\n
