“Lioness” is coming back.
Taylor Sheridan’s spy thriller, previously titled “Special Ops: Lioness,” will return for a second season on Paramount+. Returning cast members include Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira, Michael Kelly and Nicole Kidman, with Morgan Freeman upped to a series regular in season two. (Kidman and Saldaña are also executive producers.) The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios exclusively for Paramount+.
When the series premiered last summer, it “set a new record as the service’s most-watched worldwide series premiere on launch day, at that time, with nearly six million total viewers in its first week across Paramount+ globally and a linear preview on the Paramount Network” (according to the official press release).
