Every Main Cast Member Who Appears in Lioness Season 2 Episode 4
Zoe Saldaña - Joe
Zoe Saldaña headlines the cast of Lioness Season 2 as Joe, the station chief of the CIA's Lioness program.
In Lioness Season 2, Episode 4, Joe is pissed with the fact that her new recruit, Josephina, lied to her about not knowing how to speak Spanish. This one lie is more than enough for her to not trust the newbie in the program.
As a result, CIA deputy director Byron wants Joe to find a shadow for Josephina, someone whom she can trust if the mission goes sideways.
Saldaña also has credits as part of the cast of Avatar: The Way of Water, Star Trek, and Colombiana.

Genesis Rodriguez - Captain Josephina Carrillo
At the center of Lioness Season 2's story is Genesis Rodriguez's Captain Josephina Carrillo, the progam's new recruit who is tasked to take down a Mexican cartel linked to her family.
The only problem with her inclusion is that Joe and the others don't know if they can trust her due to her ties to her crime-infused family.
In Lioness Season 2, Episode 4, Josephina goes on her first mission with the team, and it seems that she is still getting used on how Joe's team operates.
Rodriguez is part of the cast of The Umbrella Academy, Big Hero 6, and Identity Thief.
