The Paramount+ original delivered a bigger premiere than Season 2 while building momentum with audiences in the U.S. and Europe.<\/p>\n

\"Lioness\"<\/a>Paramount+<\/p>\n

The third season of the hit Paramount+ espionage thriller from Taylor Sheridan drew 7.1 million viewers in its first seven days of streaming, according to Paramount internal data. The strong start puts the Sunday, August 2 premiere significantly ahead of the audience for the Season 2 debut in 2024, marking an impressive return for the series.<\/p>\n

According to preliminary Nielsen data, Lioness ranked as the No. 2 most-watched streaming original series in the U.S. during the week of Sunday, August 2 \u2013 Saturday, August 8. The series also generated strong conversation across social platforms, ranking as the No. 1 buzziest streaming drama from August 2\u20134 and driving 6.9 million social media views, according to Social Content Ratings.<\/p>\n

And the momentum is global. On SkyShowtime in Europe, the Season 3 premiere outperformed the premieres of both previous seasons and is tracking to become one of the service\u2019s top five returning premieres ever, according to internal SkyShowtime data.<\/p>\n

The performance adds another chapter to a strong year for Paramount+. In March, the first season of The Madison reached 8 million views in 10 days, followed by the debut of Dutton Ranch in May, which drew 12.9 million views in seven days.\u00a0<\/p>\n
