Sept. 6, 2022 - Paramount+ today announced that veterans of Taylor Sheridan series James Jordan (YELLOWSTONE), LaMonica Garrett (1883) and Dave Annable (YELLOWSTONE) are set to star in Sheridan's new original series LIONESS.

Produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and 101 Studios, the series will be filmed in Baltimore, Md.

LIONESS is based on a real-life CIA program and follows Cruz Manuelos (De Oliveira), a rough-around-the-edges but passionate young Marine recruited to join the CIA's Lioness Engagement Team to help bring down a terrorist organization from within. Saldaña will play Joe, the station chief of the Lioness program tasked with training, managing and leading her female undercover operatives. Jordan and Garrett will play Two Cups and Tucker, respectively, experienced CIA Special Activities Division operatives on Joe's team. Annable will play Neil, Joe's husband and the father of their two daughters.
