Special Ops: Lioness is produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios for Paramount+.

Inspired by an American military program, Special Ops: Lioness follows the daily life of Joe (Zoe Saldaña), a top CIA officer in the war on terror, as he seeks to balance his personal and professional life. The Lioness program, overseen by Kaitlyn Meade (Nicole Kidman) and Donal Westfield (Michael Kelly), enlists the services of young, rough-hewn but passionate Marine Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira) to operate undercover alongside Joe and thwart plans for another 9/11.

Special Ops: Lioness also stars Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Jonah Wharton, Stephanie Nur and Hannah Love Lanier. The series is produced by Taylor Sheridan, David C. Glasser, Zoe Saldaña, Nicole Kidman, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Jill Wagner, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Malone and John Hillcoat.

After 1923, 1883, Mayor of kingstown, and Tulsa king, Special Ops: Lioness is the latest of Taylor Sheridan's creations to air on Paramount+ before the upcoming series Lawmen: Bass Reeves and Land man.
