According to Deadline, Zoe Saldana’s (Avatar, Guardians Of The Galaxy) character Joe asked a new recruiter in the Season 2 trailer of Lioness “Do you love your country?” to which she answers “Your country needs you more.”
Joe has many lines in the trailer, such as this voiceover: “There’s no such thing as a moral war. There’s survival, and there’s surrender.”
Along with Saldaña’s voiceovers, the trailer includes Morgan Freeman’s (Lucy, Seven) character interrogating “How did we get to where we are today? Nobody’s innocent. Nobody.” Nicole Kidman’s (Big Little Lies, The Perfect Couple) character adds to that statement by saying “No one can be trusted.”
The shows’ cast also stars Genesis Rodriguez (The Umbrella Academy, Big Hero 6), Laysla De Oliveira (Locke and Key, Acquainted), and Michael Kelly (House of Cards, Dawn of the Dead), who are returning to the new season.
The season 2 debut of Paramount’s Lioness, written by Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, Wind River), is on Sunday, October 27. The premiere will first release with two episodes only in the United States and other countries where Paramount is available in. The production for Season 2 is in Texas.
The series’ cast includes Zoe Saldana, Michael Kelly, Genesis Rodríguez, Laysla De Oliveira, Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman. Along with acting, Freeman, Kidman and Saldaña executively produced the show.
