The Taylor Sheridan Paramount+ universe is expanding with the arrival of espionage thriller “Special Ops: Lioness.”
Nicole Kidman stars in the upcoming streaming series as Kaitlyn Meade, co-head of the CIA’s Lioness Program that assigns undercover operatives to befriend the wives and daughters of high-profile targets to then assassinate the threats. Kidman executive produces the series alongside lead actress Zoe Saldaña.
Per the official synopsis, “Special Ops: Lioness,” inspired by an actual U.S. Military program, follows the life of Joe (Saldaña) while she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror. The Lioness Program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and Donald Westfield (Michael Kelly), enlists an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira) to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA’s efforts to thwart the next 9/11.
