Is Special Ops: Lioness Coming Back For Season 2?
Has Paramount renewed Special Ops: Lioness for Season 2? Currently, they have not. It is not clear whether they will consider a renewal during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, the network doesn’t seem to hold back when it comes to Taylor Sheridan.
The prolific showrunner has close to a dozen shows that he was working on before the strike. He has proven to make a cornucopia of hits. Therefore, it seems likely that there will be a renewal.
However, Season 1 completed the story. Could this series become an anthology series like Fargo? Could the next season be a whole new storyline and set of actors? That is possible. But first, Paramount needs to renew.
Taylor Sheridan Series A Huge Success
Taylor Sheridan has been one of the most coveted showrunners. The creator of Yellowstone has many other hits, including 1923 and 1883. Moreover, Special Ops: Lioness has also been setting viewership records.
According to Deadline, Paramount+ reported that this new series was its “most-watched global series premiere in its first 24 hours, topping a previous record set by Halo in March 2022.”
Because the first two episodes also aired on Paramount, nearly six million viewers watched on Paramount+ globally, including the additional Paramount viewers in the states.
Chris McCarthy, the President & CEO of Paramount Media Networks & Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios, could not have been more pleased.
On one of the most competitive weeks of the year, Special Ops: Lioness scored as the #1 new scripted series of the year on cable and one of the highest performers of all time on Paramount+.
McCarthy then went on to acknowledge the co-creator, Taylor Sheridan.
Brilliantly created by Taylor Sheridan and brought to life by our stellar cast, this heart-pounding thriller inspired by real-life events clearly struck a chord with a huge audience.
Fans of Jill Wagner know the story behind this series. The Mystery 101 alum has had the idea to create this series for many years. This is her passion project. She teamed up with Taylor Sheridan, and they created a compelling and entertaining series.
Paramount+ viewers, what did you think of Special Ops: Lioness Season 1? Would you like to see the series renewed and Season 2?
