Zoe Saldaña Rules Out Further Collaborations with Taylor Sheridan

As the lead on the call sheet, Saldaña describes the production as an all-consuming experience that begins months before cameras start rolling. She remains the first to arrive and the last to leave, a workload she insists is incompatible with taking on additional projects within the creator’s expanding universe. While she values her professional rapport with Sheridan—who has come to rely on her reliability and toughness—she maintains that she is fully occupied by her current responsibilities.

Her stance contrasts with that of co-star Michael Kelly, who plays CIA Deputy Director Byron Westfield and has signed on for the third season of Sheridan’s Landman. Saldaña praised Kelly’s talent but noted that if Lioness returns for a fourth season, he is contractually expected to prioritize their show. Whether that fourth season will materialize remains uncertain, as Saldaña recently expressed doubt about the narrative path forward following the conclusion of the third season in September 2026. For now, the actress is shifting her focus toward other ventures, including Philippe Parreno’s Riverrun and the upcoming Netflix project Positano alongside Matthew McConaughey.
