Paramount+ has officially announced that the highly anticipated second season of Lioness will premiere on Sunday, October 27, with a two-episode debut. The original drama series, crafted by Oscar nominee Taylor Sheridan, will once again plunge viewers into the high-stakes world of espionage and covert operations, promising even more tension, action, and drama.
Currently filming in Texas, Lioness brings together a star-studded ensemble led by Zoe Saldaña, who also serves as an executive producer. The series features an impressive cast that includes Laysla De Oliveira, Genesis Rodriguez, and Emmy nominee Michael Kelly, with appearances by Oscar winner Morgan Freeman and Oscar and Emmy winner Nicole Kidman, who is also an executive producer.
The second season of Lioness sees the CIA’s fight against terror inching closer to American soil. As the story intensifies, Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman), and Byron (Kelly) are tasked with enlisting a new Lioness operative to infiltrate an emerging and previously unknown threat. With pressure mounting from all sides, Joe faces the harsh realities and personal sacrifices that come with leading the Lioness program. The new season promises to dive deeper into the complexities of espionage, loyalty, and the cost of serving one’s country. In addition to the leading cast, the series also stars Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, and Hannah Love Lanier.
