How to watch Special Ops: Lioness

You can stream every episode of Special Ops: Lioness exclusively on Paramount Plus in the U.S., UK, Canada and Australia. Wherever you are, if you’re new to the service you'll be entitled to a free trial. Use a VPN to watch new episodes from abroad if you're away from home.



Eschewing the dusty neo-Western drama we've come to expect from him, Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan's latest sprawling TV epic is a spy thriller that boasts an all-star Hollywood cast.

Inspired by an actual U.S. Military program, the show focuses on a crack team of female CIA operatives who go undercover amid the war on terror, in an effort to stop a future 9/11-style attack in the States.

The show focusses on Cruz Manuelos, played by Locke & Key's Laysla De Oliveira — a tough but inexperienced young Marine who has been tasked with befriending the daughter of a suspected terrorist.

Guardians of the Galaxy and Avatar star Zoe Saldaña plays Joe, the leader of the female-focussed special ops team who is under pressure following a mission that goes badly worng in Syria.

The big name cast also includes Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman, playing Kaitlyn Meade, a senior CIA executive who oversees the Lioness program, while veteran Morgan Freeman takes the role of U.S. Secretary of State Edwin Mullins.

How to watch Special Ops: Lioness from outside your country

Abroad for business or leisure and want to stream Special Ops: Lioness online? You might not be able to if you're in a country where Paramount Plus hasn't yet launched, due to annoying regional restrictions.

Luckily, there’s an easy solution. Downloading a VPN will allow you to watch Rabbit Hole on Paramount Plus no matter where you are. It's a simple bit of software that changes your IP address, meaning that you can access on-demand content or live TV as if you were at home.

Use a VPN to watch Special Ops: Lioness from abroad:

Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three...

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN.

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home - so that's Paramount Plus for the US.
