Nicole Kidman Set To Star in Taylor Sheridan’s Upcoming CIA Drama Series LIONESS
Nicole Kidman is set to star in Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming Paramount+ CIA drama series Lioness. She was already a producer on the project, so it’s not surprising to learn that she jumped on board to star in it.
The series is based on a real-life CIA program and the story follows “Cruz Manuelos (Laysla 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.”
Kidman will take on the role Kaitlyn Meade, who is described as “the CIA’s Senior Supervisor who has had a long career of playing the politics game. She must juggle the trappings of being a woman in the high-ranking intelligence community, a wife that longs for the attention she herself can’t even give and a mentor to someone veering suspiciously close to the same rocky road she’s found herself on.”
Kidman and De Oliveira are joined in the series by Zoe Saldaña, Jill Wagner, Dave Annable, LaMonica Garrett, James Jordan, Austin Hébert, Hannah Love Lanier, Stephanie Nur, and Jonah Wharton.
Sheridan is a hell of a great storyteller and I’m looking forward to seeing how this next project of his turns out!
