Nicole Kidman Sets Next TV Series, Will Star in 'Lioness' for Paramount+

Nicole Kidman is heading back to television for her sixth series in six years.

The Oscar-winning actress was just cast in the upcoming Paramount+ series Lioness from Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan.

Lioness, based on the real-life CIA program, 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.”

Nicole has been attached to the show as an executive producer ever since it was announced last year and now she’s starring in the show too.

Variety reports that Nicole will play Kaitlyn Meade, 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.”

Also starring in the series are Zoe Saldana and Dave Annable.

Ever since 2017, Nicole has starred in two seasons of HBO’s Big Little Lies, season two of Sundance Channel’s Top of the Lake, HBO’s The Undoing, Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, and the upcoming Prime Video series Expats.
