Taylor Sheridan has signed on as showrunner for 'Lioness,' replacing Thomas Brady.
Taylor Sheridan is one busy man, and getting busier. News has broken that he's taking over as showrunner on his Paramount+ series Lioness. Variety learned in an exclusive that Thomas Brady, who was originally attached as showrunner and who was there throughout the writer's room for the series, left amicably after the room had wrapped, and creative differences pushed them apart. The show hasn't begun production yet though, they're set up to begin in September.
What sets Lioness apart from Sheriden's other projects is that its main cast is built around two women: Zoe Saldaña and Laysla De Oliveira. It is based on the very real CIA program where women were trained to take on terrorist and criminal networks by infiltrating them.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The Lioness series will follow Cruz Manuelos who is a young and passionate yet rough-around-the-edges Marine who is recruited to the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team alongside Saldaña's Joe, who is the station chief of the Lioness program and is the one tasked with training her team of operatives.
Sheridan is also an executive producer on the show alongside star Saldaña as well as Sheridan's collaborators David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, and David Hutkin. Nicole Kidman is set to executive produce via Blossom Films with Geyer Kosinski and Jill Wagner also executive producing the series. It's going to be an interesting change from the Yellowstone world that we've seen Sheridan building with his shows but he's no stranger to telling female-focused stories.
