Lioness returns for its second season this fall.

On Tuesday, Paramount+ announced Lioness season 2 will premiere on Sunday, October 27, 2024, with two new episodes. The streamer released the first photos from season 2, which include a startling image of Zoe Salda?a covered in blood.

Salda?a plays Joe, a CIA officer in charge of a special program in the field, Lioness. The program is inspired by the real-life Marine Corps’ Lioness Task Force. In the series, Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira) is recruited to join Lioness and work undercover with Joe to take down a terrorist organization.

Besides Salda?a and De Oliveira, Lioness season 2 stars Genesis Rodriguez as Josie Carillo, Michael Kelly as Bryon Westfield, Morgan Freeman as U.S. Secretary of State Edwin Mullins, and Nicole Kidman as Kaitlyn Meade. 

Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, and Hannah Love Lanier also star. Season 2 is currently filming in Texas.
