Taylor Sheridan’s Lioness, developed for Paramount+, premiered in July 2023 with its inaugural season. Featuring Zoe Saldana as CIA Officer Joe, the show explores Team Lioness, a dedicated group of female Marines engaged in combat for the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The first season, comprising 8 episodes, showcased Cruz Manuelos, portrayed by Laysla De Oliveira, as she went undercover to forge a friendship with the daughter of a terrorist financier. As noted on IMDB, the series features the following official synopsis and received a commendable 7.7 rating.

“CIA operative Joe attempts to balance her personal and professional lives as the tip of the spear in the agency’s war on terror.”

The successful reception of the inaugural season led to a swift renewal announcement, which was made earlier in May 2024, according to Deadline. Season 2 is slated to debut on October 27, 2024, with a trailer released today (September 20, 2024). The 1-minute 36-second trailer hints at an exciting upcoming season, featuring both new cast members and the return of familiar characters from the first season.

The trailer revealed limited information about the plot, but it hinted at a gripping storyline as the Lioness team prepares to confront a domestic terrorist threat, indicating missions set to unfold on US terrain.

Joe, played by Saldana, will lead her team once again, with Michael Kelly’s Byron and Nicole Kidman’s Kaitlyn significantly featured in the trailer.

“How did we get to where we are today? Nobody’s innocent. Nobody.”

These thought-provoking lines are sure to pique interest, setting the stage for another edge-of-your-seat experience in Season 2, much like the first. Lioness Season 2 is set to premiere on Paramount+ on October 27, 2024.
