"Lioness," the new Paramount+ original series, is based on a real-life CIA program and follows Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira), a rough-around-the-edges but passionate young Marine recruited to join the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team to help bring down a terrorist organization from within.

The show is scheduled to film throughout Maryland, including tentative locations in both the Baltimore and Washington, DC metropolitan suburbs, Western Maryland, and the Eastern Shore.

Created and executive produced by Academy Award nominee Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown), "Lioness" stars Zoe Saldaña and De Oliveira.

Saldaña will also serve as executive producer alongside Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman and her production company, Blossom Films.

Saldaña will play Joe, the station chief of the Lioness program tasked with training, managing, and leading her female undercover operatives.

Traffic advisories were being posted on the Metropolitan Police Department's website. The series was most recently filmed in the capital on Monday, Oct. 24.
