"Lioness captivated audiences around the world as one of the most-watched global series premieres on Paramount+ last year," Chris McCarthy, Office of the CEO, Paramount Global and president & CEO of Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios said in a statement. "Driven by Taylor Sheridan's masterful storytelling and Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldaña's remarkable performances, season two promises to immerse audiences in yet another riveting, adrenaline-fueled journey."

Season 1 of Lioness starred Zoe Saldana as "Joe," a CIA officer who runs a specialized special operative unit named "Lioness." That unit uses highly-trained female operatives to infiltrate terrorist organizations and turn their members into CIA assets – expendable assets who face death before capture. Joe has to keep her espionage life secret and separated from her home life as a wife and mother to two daughters – a strain that often weighs on her heavily.
