It appears that the Hilton Fort Worth hotel will be a stand-in for The Hay-Adams hotel in Washington D.C., according to the road closure map. This makes sense since several of the characters in “Lioness” are based in the nation’s capitol.
During filming, all downtown businesses will remain open and Fort Worth police will be on-site to facilitate traffic.

Paramount has officially renewed Taylor Sheridan’s “Lioness” for a third season ahead of a planned shoot in Fort Worth this month.
The news comes about six weeks after 101 Studios CEO David Glasser confirmed to the Star-Telegram that season 3 was on the way. Glasser revealed the information while discussing a new 450,000-square-foot film and television production campus in north Fort Worth, which “Lioness” will utilize this season.
Paramount announced the renewal in a press release and on the show’s social media channels.
The release mentioned that Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman are returning for the third go-around, but did not mention any other cast. The first two seasons also starred Laysla De Oliveira, Genesis Rodriguez, Michael Kelly and Morgan Freeman.
Deadline notes that the reason for the delayed season renewal stems from Kidman securing a new deal, which closed earlier this year. The show was then “quietly” greenlit but not announced as the show’s producers worked around Kidman and Saldaña’s busy schedules.
‘Lioness’ returns to Fort Worth for season 3
“Lioness” season 1 filmed in Maryland, Delaware, Washington D.C., Paris and Mallorca, Spain.
For season 2, the series primarily filmed in and around North Texas, including in Fort Worth, Weatherford, Strawn, Stephenville and Glen Rose. Production wrapped late summer 2024 and released on Paramount+ just a few months later.
There was a general call for active and reserve military members to appear as non-speaking extras. Other calls sought extras to appear as restaurant goers, FBI personnel and as neighbors to main cast members.
The company is still seeking extras for a variety of roles for when production kicks off next week. Legacy recommends folks visit the MyCastingFile website for opportunities.
More on ‘Lioness’
“Lioness” season 1 follows CIA operative Joe (Saldaña) as she balances her “personal and professional lives as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror.”
In season 2, “The CIA’s fight against terror moved closer to home. Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman), and Byron (Kelly) enlisted a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat. With pressure mounting from all sides, Joe was forced to confront the profound personal sacrifices she made as the leader of the Lioness program.”
The plot for season 3 has yet to be revealed.
“Lioness” seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Paramount+.
