A new spy thriller called Special Ops: Lioness has been getting lots of love from viewers lately. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
The series first aired in July, with fans recommending it for people who like shows such as Homeland and Jack Ryan.
Here’s the scoop on the hit programme…
What is Special Ops: Lioness about?
From the brain of Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan - and inspired by an actual US Military program - the narrative focuses on Force Recon Marine and rookie operative Cruz Manuelos, who is recruited into the CIA’s Lioness programme.
The operation sees female operatives befriend the wives and daughters of suspected terrorists, with the aim of getting information from them and ultimately stopping potential attacks.
Who is in Special Ops: Lioness?
The show stars some big names.
Zoe Saldaña from Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy appears as CIA agent Joe, who is in charge of the Lioness programme in the field.
Australian superstar Nicole Kidman plays her supervisor, Kaitlyn Meade.
Talking of superstars, the legendary Morgan Freeman stars as the US Secretary of State.
Meanwhile, Locke & Key’s Laysla De Oliveira plays Cruz Manuelos.
The series also features Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, Stephanie Nur, Hannah Love Lanier, Michael Kelly, Martin Donovan, Michael Tow, Ray Corasani, Sam Asghari, Carla Mansour, Adam Budron and Bruce McGill.
Where can I watch Special Ops: Lioness?
Special Ops: Lioness is available to view on Paramount+.
Will there be a season 2 of Special Ops: Lioness?
At this stage, a second season of Special Ops: Lioness has yet to be confirmed.
However, due to the fact that the viewer figures have been high, a second season certainly seems like a distinct possibility.
In a recent statement, Chris McCarthy, CEO of Paramount Media Networks said: “Special Ops: Lioness scored as the number one new scripted series of the year on cable and one of the highest performers of all time on Paramount+.”
Fingers crossed then that there is more to come from Special Ops: Lioness!
