This is going to be an incredibly busy fall TV season.
We’ve got broadcast shows coming in fast and furious, and on the cable and streaming end, Paramount+ is bringing the full force of Taylor Sheridan’ is bringing the full force of his’s creative might back to the small screen.
Today, Paramount+ dropped a tantalizing trailer for Lioness Season 2, along with a premiere date.
If the title seems truncated, you’re right. Previously titled Special Ops: Lioness, the series returns under a new moniker. Just Lioness. It fits.
The eight-episode second season will premiere Sunday, October 27, with two episodes exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and international markets where the service is available.
Lioness features a star-studded cast, including series lead and executive producer Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira, Genesis Rodriguez, and Emmy Award nominee Michael Kelly, with Oscar winner Morgan Freeman and Oscar and Emmy winner and executive producer Nicole Kidman.
The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios exclusively for Paramount+.
In season two, as the CIA’s fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman), and Byron (Kelly) enlist a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat.
With pressure mounting from all sides, Joe is forced to confront the profound personal sacrifices she has made as the leader of the Lioness program.
The trailer, seen below, is a pressure cooker of stress, signaling that there may not be enough love of country to keep the program thriving as things fall apart before their eyes.
If you haven’t had the pleasure, you can either watch the whole season to catch up, which we highly recommend, or you can check out our Lioness Season 1 recaps and reviews for some history.
The series also stars Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, and Hannah Love Lanier.
The series is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Jill Wagner, David Lemanowicz, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Friedman, and Keith Cox and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Season one of Lioness set a new record as the most-watched worldwide series premiere on the service at that time.
Lioness is part of Sheridan’s growing slate on Paramount+, which includes Tulsa King, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, the upcoming series Landman, as well as the second season of 1923.
