Paramount+’s Special Ops: Lioness contains a talented and distinguished cast, ranging from Academy Award winners to an actress who has starred in four of the highest-grossing movies of all time. The spy thriller TV show comes from the mind of Taylor Sheridan, who is most known for creating Yellowstone and all its spinoffs. However, Sheridan branched out from the neo-Western drama when Special Ops: Lioness debuted in July 2023, and it was a hit for Paramount+ (despite receiving mixed reviews from critics). As a result, the platform renewed it for a second season, which premieres in October 2024.
