Taylor Sheridan’s special ops espionage drama Lioness starring Zoe Saldaña and Laysla De Oliveira, has officially been renewed for a second season by Paramount+.
The series is inspired by an actual US military program, and it “follows the life of Joe (Saldaña) while she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror.
“The Lioness Program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and Donald Westfield (Michael Kelly), enlists an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA’s efforts to thwart the next 9/11.”
Jeff Grossman, Executive Vice President, Programming, Paramount+ said in a statement: “Our Paramount+ audience resoundingly has joined forces in support of Lioness’ gripping, global story and the powerhouse performances from Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira and Nicole Kidman.
“We cannot wait to see more of the heart-stopping suspense and action that Taylor Sheridan and the incredibly talented team deliver in its second season.”
Chris McCarthy, Office of the CEO, Paramount Global and President & CEO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, added: “Lioness captivated audiences around the world as one of the most-watched global series premieres on Paramount+ last year.
“Driven by Taylor Sheridan’s masterful storytelling and Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldaña’s remarkable performances, season two promises to immerse audiences in yet another riveting, adrenaline-fueled journey.”
I thought the first season of the series was a great and thrilling series and I’m happy to see that we’ll be getting another season!
The drama set a record as the streamer’s most-watched worldwide series premiere on launch day, with nearly 6 million total viewers in its first week across Paramount+ globally and on a linear preview on the Paramount Network.
The espionage thriller is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios for Paramount+.
