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.
Michael Kelly and Morgan Freeman also return for “Lioness Season 2,” with Genesis Rodriguez joining the cast as Captain Josephina Carrillo. The new season also stars Dave Annable, Jill Wagner, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, and Austin Hébert. Jonah Wharton, Thad Luckinbill, and Hannah Love Lanier round out the main cast.
