Watch ‘Special Ops: Lioness’ trailer: Morgan Freeman has questions about CIA program

The series is inspired by an actual U.S. Military program and follows Joe (Saldaña) as she tries to balance her personal and professional lives as the tip of the CIA’s spear in the war on terror. The Lioness Program is overseen by Kaitlyn Meade (Kidman) and Donald Westfield (Kelly), and they enlist an aggressive Marine Raider named Cruz (De Oliveira) to operate undercover alongside Joe among the power brokers of State terrorism in the CIA’s efforts to thwart the next 9/11.

The teaser begins with Secretary of State Edwin Mullins (Freeman) asking the questions. The Lioness Program puts an operative close to the wives and daughters of high-value targets, then they kill the target. But things can go very wrong, as you can see.

Joining Sheridan as executive producers are David C. Glasser, Saldaña, Kidman, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Jill Wagner, Geyer Kosinski, Michael Malone, and John Hillcoat.
