Lioness, the new Paramount+ series produced by Star Trek and Marvel's Zoe Saldaña, Aquaman and Big Little Lies' Nicole Kidman and Sons of Anarchy's Taylor Sheridan, is assembling its cast.
It's been announced that Yellowstone stars James Jordan and Dave Annable and the Arrowverse's LaMonica Garrett will be starring in the show.
Saldaña and Locke & Key's Laysla De Oliveira have previously been announced as the leads.
De Oliveira is playing Cruz Manuelos, a young Marine invited to join a CIA program that works on bringing down terrorist organisations from the inside. Saldaña is playing her boss Joe, who is tasked with training all her charges. The name of that program? The Lioness Engagement Team, of course.
Annable is joining as Saldaña's character's husband, while Jordan and Garrett will play two experienced Lioness members called Two Cups and Tucker, respectively.
Although Kidman is only serving as producer here, she's definitely not given up on acting. In fact, she's got multiple projects on the way.
She's been cast in a thriller called Holland, Michigan for Amazon Studios, and a new, currently untitled Netflix romcom opposite Zac Efron.
Meanwhile, Saldaña is reprising her role as the Na'vi warrior Neytiri in Avatar: The Way of Water (and three more planned sequels), over a decade after the first film was released.
"[James Cameron] was finally able to crack that challenge [underwater motion-capture]... a challenge that he had taken upon himself and it took him years, and he did it!" she said of the upcoming film.
"I can get choked up just talking about it because I was able to see just 20 minutes of the second instalment right before the year ended last year, and I was speechless. I was moved to tears."
