It's time for a new mission for the Lioness team. Paramount Plus has brought back Taylor Sheridan's spy drama, making Lioness season 2 a part of its fall TV slate.
This is one of three Sheridan-created shows that is premiering new episodes this fall, joining Tulsa King season 2 starring Sylvester Stallone and the new series Landman with Billy Bob Thornton. There's also of course the much-anticipated return of Yellowstone season 5 on Paramount Network. But there's excitement for Lioness season 2 as well following an inaugural season that introduced us to a team of special ops agents led by Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman.
Read on below as we've got everything you need to know about Lioness season 2.
