The main character of “Special Ops: Lioness,” which is based on a real U.S. military operation, is Joe, whose personal life intersects with her professional one as the point of the CIA’s spear in the fight on terror. Saldana will share the screen with an A-list ensemble in “Special Ops: Lioness,” which is being produced by none other than Sheridan (Yellowstone), the reigning maestro of Western television drama.

One member of the series’ main cast is Nicole Kidman, who plays Kaitlyn Meade, the head of the Lioness Program. Meade, along with Donald Westfield, enlists Cruz (Laysla De Oliveira), a young Marine Raider, to work with Joe and go undercover to befriend a billionaire’s daughter who has ties to terrorist organisations in an effort to stop what the CIA fear will be the next 9/11.
