Special Ops: Lioness, Starring Zoe Saldaña and Nicole Kidman, Coming to MENA Screens
In a major content acquisition that solidifies STARZPLAY's position as the MENA's premium streaming destination, the platform has secured exclusive MENA rights to 'Special Ops: Lioness' – the critically acclaimed CIA thriller starring Avatar's Zoe Saldaña, Oscar winner Nicole Kidman, and legendary Morgan Freeman.
The high-octane series, which has captivated global audiences with its unflinching portrayal of modern warfare and espionage, will launch exclusively on STARZPLAY on June 5, with all 16 episodes from both seasons available immediately.
A Powerhouse Cast in an Uncompromising Story
Created by Taylor Sheridan, the mastermind behind global phenomenon 'Yellowstone' and 'Sicario,' Special Ops: Lioness delivers the raw intensity that has become Sheridan's signature. The series follows CIA operative Joe (Saldaña) as she navigates the brutal realities of the agency's most classified program – recruiting female operatives to infiltrate hostile networks from the inside.
'This isn't your typical spy thriller,' explains the show's premise. 'It's about the invisible women who sacrifice everything – their identities, families, and safety – to protect national security. These are the stories that have never been told.'
Nicole Kidman commands the screen as senior CIA official Kaitlyn Meade, while Morgan Freeman brings gravitas to his role as Secretary of State Edwin Mullins. The cast is rounded out by breakout star Laysla De Oliveira as Marine Raider Cruz Manuelos, the latest recruit into the deadly Lioness program, and Michael Kelly as CIA operative Byron Westfield.
