What is Lioness Season 2 about?

Lioness Season 2 is about as intense as it gets, and that’s the truth. But we suspect what you’re really asking is: What is Lioness Season 2 about … storyline-wise? So, here goes: In the new season, as the CIA’s fight against terror moves closer to home, Joe (Saldaña), Kaitlyn (Kidman), and Byron (Kelly) enlist a new Lioness operative to infiltrate a previously unknown threat.
