The official trailer for *Lioness* season 2, the Paramount+ espionage thriller from Taylor Sheridan, has dropped, and it’s packed with action, tension, and a whole lot of questions.
In a tense interrogation scene, Zoe Saldana’s Joe, the leader of the Lioness program, repeatedly asks a question that echoes throughout the trailer: “Do you love your country?” As the footage unfolds, we see glimpses of explosive warfare, dangerous espionage, and betrayal. The stakes are high, and Joe faces mounting pressure as she prepares a new recruit to infiltrate a dangerous threat.
The trailer reveals that Joe is forced to confront the personal sacrifices she has made, adding a layer of emotional depth to the already action-packed story.
*Lioness* also stars Laysla De Oliveira as Sergeant Cruz Manuelos, 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.
