When is Lioness Season 2 Episode 7 out? Full release schedule

Joe, Kaitlyn, and Edward are just some of the CIA faces back for more undercover drama, but when is the next episode of Lioness Season 2 released? Here’s the full lowdown on Episode 7.

Taylor Sheridan is single-handedly responsible for some of the best TV shows of all time, and Lioness Season 2 is already living up to the hype.

The Episode 1 premiere opened with a bombshell, leading to an international drug cartel plot that’s set to tear Team Lioness apart from the inside (check out our review of the series).

But what does this mean for Joe (Zoe Saldana), who’s stuck in the middle of something much better than her? You can find out in the next episode – here’s what you need to know about Lioness Season 2 Episode 7’s release.

When is Lioness Season 2 Episode 7 out?

Episode 7 of Lioness Season 2 drops on December 1, 2024 on Paramount Plus. The episode is titled ‘The Devil Has Aces.’

When we last saw the team, they had uncovered a child smuggling ring in a nearby warehouse, after being wrongly tipped off by a Mexican special agent that narcotics were being stored there. The team was attacked while trying to intercept them, leaving Joe’s life on the line – she’s been shot in the stomach.

This links to drug cartel Los Tigres, who Team Lioness is spending the entire series trying to bring down. It’s thought they are controlled by Chinese intelligence – but while this isn’t proved, they are connected to new recruit Josephina.

Brought into the team in Episode 2, her uncle Alvaro runs the cartel, with dad Pablo acting as their US lawyer. Josephina’s a US soldier, and claims to not have any ties to her family. There’s been an almighty showdown in Episode 6, leading to Pablo and Josephina hiding out in a safe location.

Joe doesn’t trust her as far as she can throw her. Cruz was brought back in during Episode 4 to keep her in check, but so far, their pairing is proving to be testing.

What time do new episodes come out?

For US fans, Season 2 episodes are released on Sundays at 3am ET/12am PT. If you’re watching from the UK or internationally, you’ll have to wait until Mondays at 8am BST.

This is arguably the downside of the streaming service. Global platforms like Netflix typically release new TV shows at the same time internationally, but Paramount Plus doesn’t do this for any of their titles.

Sadly, there’s a half-day wait for international fans, so you might want to steer clear of social media.

How many Season 2 episodes are there?

There will be eight episodes in Lioness Season 2. Only the first two aired consecutively, so you’ll have to wait for weekly drops for the rest of the series.

Thankfully, fans haven’t been short-changed in Season 2. Season 1 also had eight episodes, matching what we’re getting this time around.

This also means if you need to catch up, it shouldn’t take you too long to figure out what’s what.

However, it’s possibly the shortest Taylor Sheridan series of the bunch. While Yellowstone typically has at least 10 episodes a series, new show Landman is also debuting in double digits. Tulsa King also has nine episodes per series.

Lioness Season 2 release schedule

Lioness Season 2 debuted on October 27, with episodes now airing weekly until December 8.
