After a wildly successful first season, Paramount+ has debuted the official trailer for Lioness season two, offering an explosive first look a what's to come for Joe (Zoe Saldaña) this season as the war inches closer and closer to home.
The season synopsis 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."
At the time of its release, the series was Paramount+'s most-watched worldwide premiere ever, so the show's return is certainly one of the more anticipated events of the year for the streamer.
