Zoe Salda\u00f1a\u2019s grueling commitment to \u201cLioness\u201d<\/a> has her rethinking whether being she wants to be part of another Taylor Sheridan show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that Joe McNamara and \u2018Lioness\u2019 is all that I can handle at this time,\u201d she said in a new interview with People<\/a>, referring to the CIA operative she plays in the hit Paramount+ spy series.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t imagine me taking on more of a Taylor Sheridan world,\u201d the actress added.<\/p>\n

Salda\u00f1a, 48, noted that both starring in and executive producing \u201cLioness\u201d is a major responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m No. 1 on the call sheet. I am first one in, last one out,\u201d she shared. \u201cI am prepping months before anybody ever is able to prep. So it\u2019s already a lot of work for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Salda\u00f1a said she\u2019s \u201cgrateful\u201d to work with Sheridan, 56, because the TV producer knows she\u2019s \u201chonest,\u201d \u201ctough as nails,\u201d \u201cvocal and opinionated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have my views, and I come with all heart, all brains, all muscle at all times,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cSo, no, I think I\u2019m good here at \u2018Lioness.’\u201d<\/p>\n

After the show\u2019s Season 3 finale revealed that Aaliyah Amrohi (Stephanie Nur) was the mastermind behind Joe\u2019s abduction, Salda\u00f1a admitted she\u2019s unsure if there\u2019s more story to tell.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if we\u2019re able to go to a Season 4,\u201d the Oscar winner told People. \u201cI don\u2019t know where he would take it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Salda\u00f1a previously told Entertainment Weekly<\/a> that her work on \u201cLioness\u201d Season 3 took a lot out of her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was very demanding, I\u2019m not gonna lie,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I didn\u2019t even know if I was gonna be able to pull it off.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Salda\u00f1a said that after having \u201cvarious conversations\u201d with Sheridan about her character\u2019s storyline, she\u2019s \u201cso happy and proud of the direction that [Sheridan] eventually took.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Wagner, who portrays Quick Reaction Force (QRF) leader Bobby, revealed earlier this month that Sheridan forced her to relearn a scene with her non-dominant hand<\/a>, mere minutes before filming.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe forces you to run into the fire,\u201d she told People<\/a> of the \u201cYellowstone\u201d creator.<\/p>\n

De Oliveira, who plays operative Cruz Manuelos, told the outlet that Sheridan \u201ccan change things on the spot\u201d during filming.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to have your head on a swivel and be able to do that,\u201d she said, before clarifying that Sheridan doesn\u2019t change scripts last-minute. <\/p>\n
