Zoe Saldaña looks fierce in first trailer for Lioness season 2

Morgan Freeman and Nicole Kidman become central characters in the series, warning of the approaching threat.

Zoe Saldaña returns to service in season 2 of Lioness, in the shoes of Joe, head of the Lioness section of the CIA – a real program of the intelligence agency and the American army. Her goal? To send women undercover to fight Islamic terrorism, by sympathizing with the relatives of the main leaders, their sisters, their daughters and their wives to gather information and designate targets. Acclaimed by critics and the public, this thriller/espionage series had a small success last year when it was released. And this time, its producer, Taylor Sheridan, behind among others Yellowstone and its spin-offs, goes behind the camera.

Now, the threat is closing in on the United States and the CIA must fight an invisible enemy. The pressure is mounting on Joe, faced with significant personal sacrifices. But she is not alone. The new recruit to the Lioness program, hired by agents Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman) and Byron (Michael Kelly), played by Genesis Rodriguez (Sloane in The Umbrella Academy) is also questioning the morality of her mission.

“There is no morality in war. You can either survive or surrender,” launches the actress‘Avatar and more recently by Emilia Perez. Operations are under pressure, and no one seems safe. As Morgan Freeman And Nicole Kidman warn us: we can’t trust anyone.

At the center of this season 2, the interaction between Joe and his new agent, Captain Josephina “Josie” Carillo helicopter pilot, will be complicated. It is with a face-to-face that they appear here, the new recruit in tears and his superior stunning him with the same question with assurance: “Do you love your country?”

More than ever, the crisis is at their doorstep. For this season 2, Bruce McGill (MacGyver) as head of the NSA, and Jennifer Ehle (The King’s Speech, Contagion, Zero Dark Thirty). This will be available from October 27th at a rate of two episodes to start, followed by one episode per week, on Paramount+.
