What’s Next For Nicole Kidman’s Kaitlyn In Lioness Season 2?
Her Character’s New Story Is A Mystery
Special Ops: Lionessseason 1 endedwith 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.
