Variety reports that the actress has joined the cast of a new Paramount+ series titled Lioness, which has Taylor Sheridan behind it.

Her involvement in the cast is quite meant to be, as she had already been attached as an executive producer since the show was initially announced, via her own production company, Blossom Films.

Lioness is based on a real-life CIA program, and per IMDB, the plot reads: "A young Marine is recruited by the CIA to befriend the daughter of a terrorist group in order to bring down the organization from within."
