Check Out These 11 Shows Like Special Ops: Lioness

Publish date: 2024-06-28

Special Ops: Lioness follows Zoe Saldaña as a CIA operative who heads the Lioness program as she tasks a rookie operative with befriending the daughter of a suspected terrorist. The show also stars Nicole Kidman, and even features Morgan Freeman as a guest star. For people who love spy thrillers, it's a gripping drama with a stellar cast. But so far, it's only had one season (and we're still waiting on an official renewal for Season 2), so fans of the show are likely looking for another female spy thriller to fill the void.

First off, we'd recommend checking out the rest of Taylor Sheridan's television shows, like Yellowstone and Mayor of Kingstown. While they don't share the same genre elements, filmmakers (in both television and movies) can often have similar tones and styles throughout their projects, as fans of, say, Shonda Rhimes or Ryan Murphy know.

But once you're through checking out Sheridan's other work, there's a whole host of female-led spy thrillers (or shows with similar premises). If you're looking for more CIA shows, Covert Affairs or Alias may be for you. Or if you want more politics than spy work, there's The Diplomat and Madam Secretary. While some shows on this list only had a few seasons, others have hours and hours of episodes, or are ongoing, meaning you could not only find a binge during the wait for Special Ops: Lioness Season 2, but you could find a new favorite show to add to your list as well.
