The spy thriller Special Ops: Lioness, the latest show from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, has roots in real-life conflict, which may leave viewers wondering if the story and characters are based on real life too. The Paramount+ series has a stacked cast including Zoe Saldaña, Laysla De Oliveira, Nicole Kidman, and Morgan Freeman. It follows Saldaña's Joe, a CIA officer in charge of the Lioness program, and her rookie operative Cruz (De Oliveira) as she attempts to befriend the daughter of a suspected terrorist in order to bring down the operation from the inside.
