Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Paramount+ is gearing up for the release of Lioness Season 2.

The streaming service shared a trailer for the season Thursday featuring Zoe Salda?a and new cast member Genesis Rodriguez.

Lioness is a spy thriller from Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan. The show follows members of the CIA Lioness program, a team of female U.S. Marines on combat missions.

Season 2 opens with the CIA's fight against terror moving closer to home and Joe (Salda?a), Kaitlyn (Nicole Kidman) and Byron (Michael Kelly) enlisting a new Lioness operative (Rodriguez) to infiltrate a previously unknown threat.

"With pressure mounting from all sides, Joe is forced to confront the profound personal sacrifices she has made as the leader of the Lioness program," an official synopsis reads.
