It’s going to be a very busy fall TV season.
Our broadcast slate is rolling out fast and furious, on cable and streaming, and Paramount+ is bringing the full power of Taylor Sheridan, his full creative muscle, back to the small screen.
Today, Paramount+ released a tantalizing trailer for Lioness Season 2 along with a premiere date.
If the title looks truncated, you’re right. The series, originally titled Spec Ops: Lioness, is back under a new title. Just a lioness. Very suitable.
The eight-episode second season will premiere on Sunday, October 27, with two episodes available exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and international markets where the service is available.
Lioness has a star-studded cast, including series star and executive producer Zoe Saldaña, Lesla de Oliveira, Genesis Rodriguez and Emmy nominees Michael Kelly, along with Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman and Oscar and Emmy Award winner and executive producer Nicole Kidman.
The series is produced exclusively for Paramount+ by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios.
In Season 2, as the CIA’s war on terror draws ever closer, Joe (Saldanha), Caitlin (Kidman) and Byron (Kelly) recruit a new Agent Lioness comes to infiltrate a previously unknown threat.
As pressure mounts from all sides, Jo is forced to confront the enormous personal sacrifice she has made as the leader of Project Lioness.
The trailer, seen below, is a pressure cooker that suggests there may not be enough love for country to keep the program thriving when things are falling apart before their eyes.
If you haven’t had the fun yet, you can watch the entire season to catch up, which we highly recommend you do, or you can check out our Lioness Season 1 recap and review for some history.
The series also stars Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Herbert, Jonah Walton, Sadra Kimbill and Hannah Love Lanier.
The series stars Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, Zoe Saldana, Nicole Kidman, Ron Burke, Bob Ari, David Hartkin, Jill Wagner, David Lemanovich, Gale Kosinski, Michael Friedman and Keith Cox executive produce, with distribution distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
The first season of “Lioness” set a record as the most-watched TV series premiere in the world at the time.
“Lioness” is part of Sheridan’s ongoing slate of films on Paramount+, which includes “Tulsa King,” “The Mayor of Kingston 1883,” “The Enforcer: Bass Reeves , the upcoming series Randleman , and the second season of 1923 .
