'Special Ops: Lioness': First Look At The Nicole Kidman, Zoe Saldaña-Starring CIA Drama Series From Taylor Sheridan

 


Paramount+ has unveiled the new and official title for their upcoming espionage thriller, which was known simply as Lioness, is now Special Ops: Lioness. Created by Taylor Sheridan, it stars Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman. The title change may be very recent as the former was used as late as a month ago when Thad Luckinbill was announced to be a heavy recurrer.

Based on a real-life CIA program, Special Ops: Lioness follows Cruz Manuelos, played by Laysla De Oliveira and described as a rough-around-the-edges but passionate young Marine. She is recruited to join the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team to help defeat a terrorist organization that has infiltrated the team. Saldaña will play Joe, who is the station chief of the Lioness program who trains, manages, and leads the female undercover operatives.

The series is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios. Its other series regulars include Dave Annable, LaMonica Garrett, Jill Wagner, James Jordan, Jonah Wharton, Stephanie Nur, Austin Hébert, and Hannah Love Lanier. Michael Kelly appears in a recurring role. Sam Asghari is set to play a character named Kamal. Saldaña and Kidman also executive produce with Sheridan, along with David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Jill Wagner, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Malone and John Hillcoat.
