Zoe Saldana says Lioness workload rules out another Sheridan show
Zoe Saldana plays Joe McNamara in the show Lioness.
She also helps produce the series.
Saldana said the job takes nearly all of her time and energy.
She prepares for months, arrives first and leaves last.
Because of this, she does not want to join another Taylor Sheridan show right now.
In season three, Joe is kidnapped and must escape, making her experience the danger faced by her operatives.
The show’s fourth season has not been officially confirmed.
Other actors have appeared in more than one of Sheridan’s television series.
Zoe Saldana said leading Lioness leaves little room for another Taylor Sheridan series.
Saldana is the show’s lead actor and an executive producer, increasing her responsibilities.
She said she is first on set, last to leave and prepares months before filming.
In season three, Joe McNamara becomes an abducted target instead of only directing operations.
Lioness season four has not been officially confirmed by Paramount+.
