Paramount debuts ‘SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS’ trailer from ‘Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan
‘Yellowstone’s Taylor Sheridan and Paramount have tapped Zoey Saldana, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman to star in original series SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS, which just debuted its trailer. Watch it first on Outsider.
Straight from Paramount this morning are the teaser trailer and key art for the highly anticipated SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS . The original series will premiere on Sunday, July 23 in the U.S. and all international markets exclusively on the studio’s streaming service, Paramount+.
From Yellowstone ‘s Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan , the espionage thriller features a star-studded cast, to say the least. Series lead and executive producer Zoe Saldaña takes center stage, with Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman , Emmy Award nominee Michael Kelly , and Academy Award winner and executive producer Nicole Kidman .
The Sheridan show will also star a few familiar faces to Yellowstone fans. Dave Annable of Lee Dutton fame has been cast, as has 1883 ‘s LaMonica Garrett .
This is no Western, however. SPECIAL OPS: LIONESS is inspired by an actual US Military program, and follows the life of Joe (Saldaña) while she attempts to balance her personal and professional life as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror. The Lioness Program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and Donald Westfield (Kelly), enlists an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz (De Oliveira) to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA’s efforts to thwart the next 9/11.
Stream the two-episode premiere of Special Ops: Lioness on Sunday, July 23, exclusively on Paramount+. Then stream all-new episodes on Sundays.
