Based on a real-life CIA program, “LIONESS” follows Cruz Manuelos (De Oliveira), a passionate but rough-around-the-edges young Marine chosen to join the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team to aid in the internal destruction of a terrorist group.

Kidman will feature as Kaitlyn Meade, who is described as “the CIA’s Senior Supervisor who has had a long career of playing the politics game.”
