Paramount+’s spy thriller Lioness returns for season two on October 27, 2024. The new season starring Zoe Saldana will kick off with the release of the first two episodes, followed by new episodes on Sundays.

The upcoming season is currently shooting in Texas, with Saldana reprising her starring role as Joe. The returning cast includes Laysla De Oliveira, Emmy nominee Michael Kelly, Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, Oscar winner Morgan Freeman, Dave Annable, and Jill Wagner. Genesis Rodriguez, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, and Hannah Love Lanier also star.

“As the CIA’s fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman), and Byron (Kelly) enlist a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat,” reads Paramount+’s synopsis. “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.”
