Season 2 may explore multiple storylines for Kidman's character, Kaitlyn Meade, including her strained marriage and what's next for the titular Lioness program.

Lioness season 2 is expected to follow Zoe Saldaña's Joe once again, still running the show's titular CIA program following the mission to take out suspected terrorist financer Asmar Ali Amrohi. Kidman was also a key part of season 1, portraying CIA official Kaitlyn Meade, Joe's friend and mentor who also oversees the Lioness program to ensure success in their missions.

Now, Kidman has released a photo of herself on the set of Lioness season 2, confirming her return while teasing what's next for Kaitlyn's story.

What's Next For Nicole Kidman's Kaitlyn In Lioness Season 2?

Her Character's New Story Is A Mystery

Special Ops: Lioness season 1 ended with Cruz killing Amrohi, but becoming disillusioned with the project because of the genuine romantic connection she ended up making with his daughter, Aaliyah. While she ends up leaving Lioness, Joe appears to be staying, although it's unclear what this decision will mean after season 1 focused on the contention her job brought to her family life. As for Kaitlyn, her story mostly focused on a strained relationship with her husband, Errol, a financial investor with specific interests to make the two of them more money.

While there are no concrete answers as to why Kaitlyn and Errol's relationship seems distant, season 2 can provide more context surrounding their marriage and how they view each other. Perhaps her husband's financial investments will play a key role in the upcoming episodes, his introduction in season 1 setting up a major story that's about to come to fruition. Kidman's character could also bury herself deeper into the Lioness project, further separating the pair despite their reliance on one another.

As for her friendship with Joe, the pair are likely to be closer now that the CIA program is under scrutiny by higher governmental powers, who changed their minds last-minute about Amrohi's assassination. She may also interact with new characters in Special Ops: Lioness season 2, broadening the number of people she's typically in contact with throughout the series. With plenty of mystery still surrounding the upcoming story, Kidman's character has many avenues she could go down depending on what's next for the CIA program.

Special Ops: Lioness was created by Taylor Sheridan, best known for making the Yellowstone franchise and Mayor of Kingstown.
