Lioness Season 2: Premiere date, First look, cast, plot, & more About the Zoe Saldaña & Nicole Kidman show

Brand new episodes of the espionage thriller are on its way! Paramount+ will soon release the highly anticipated second season of the original drama series Lioness.

Joe, played by Zoe Saldaña, is a CIA operative. She and her boss, Kaitlyn Meade, played by Nicole Kidman, lead a team focused on deploying female agents to high-risk missions. Lioness season two has been confirmed, and filming started earlier this year after a successful first season.

Talking about the new installment, which includes a rough start with Josie, Saldaña said, "It’s a strange relationship — there’s a lot of mistrust from the beginning." And about her relationship with her on-screen boss, she said, "There is absolute trust in Joe’s relationship with Kaitlyn. They very much have a role model, mentee-mentor kind of relationship. Joe has always looked up to Kaitlyn and Kaitlyn knows that there is nothing that she can ask of Joe that she won't deliver on. Joe always demands excellence from herself and from her team because she regards Kaitlyn so highly and having her respect is very important to her because they’re very much Lionesses, both of them. In terms of driving missions, they believe in what they’re doing and believe in the Lioness program."
