Who are the returning cast members for Lioness Season 2?
The new mission wouldn't be possible without its core team members. The confirmed cast members for Season 2 include Laysla De Oliveira as Cruz, Zoe Saldaña as CIA officer Joe, who was tasked with overseeing the program, and Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman as Kaitlyn Meade, the top CIA officer who guides Joe and other teammates.
The returning cast also includes Michael Kelly as Byron, Morgan Freeman as Edwin Mullins, Thad Luckinbill as Kyle McManus, and newcomer Genesis Rodriguez Josephine "Josie" Carillo set to play a helicopter pilot. The actress was recently seen as Sloane Hargreeves in Netflix's The Umbrella Academy TV series.
What is the plot of Lioness Season 2?
The spy thriller's first season didn't answer a few questions, including Joe's future with the team and Cuz's life after she quit. The finale of Season 1 didn't end with a major cliffhanger but Season 2 is set to begin right after that.
But this time, the team has a new member and a new mission. The official synopsis for the upcoming Season 2 reads:
"As the CIA's fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe, Kaitlyn, and Byron enlist a new Lioness operative 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."
The pressure is high, and Joe, Kaitlyn, and Byron will have to make sacrifices to carry out their duties. Their biggest enemy in Season 1 was Asmar Ali Amrohi, whom they managed to kill at the end. However, there can be fallouts after his assassination, which might affect both, the agents and the U.S. government.
Is there a trailer for Lioness Season 2?
Yes, we finally have a trailer for the upcoming season 2 and it's as explosive as fans can expect. It begins with an action-packed scene where Zoe Saldaña's Joe makes it clear by saying "There’s no such thing as a moral war. There’s survival, and there’s surrender".
Joe isn't just focusing on accomplishing her mission but now she's seen trying to build a healthy relationship with her family while navigating her complicated job.
The trailer also reveals a dead body lying on the floor, Kaitlyn suggesting to trust no one as she might fall into an intricate conspiracy. Meanwhile, Joe asks the newcomer if she loves her country as it requires more than just serving and fulfilling the duties.
