The three new cast members join the show’s already announced actors Zoe Saldaña and Laysla De Oliveira.

Jordan, LaMonica Garrett, and Dave Annable previously collaborated with Taylor Sheridan, mastermind of Lioness, Yellowstone, and Wind River.

Sheridan took over as showrunner not long after the show started production in June.

Sheridan created Lioness. He also executive produces, along with Jill Wagner, David Glasser, David Hutkin, and Bob Yari.

Jordan appeared in TV’s Veronica Mars and True Blood, and Destroyer and Seberg onscreen.

Garrett has a long list of TV acting credits, including on The Terminal List, Batwoman, and Supergirl

Annable currently appears on CW’s Walker. He also co-starred in the limited series What/If with Renée Zellweger, and guested on an episode of This Is Us. 

“Based on a real-life CIA program, Lioness follows a young Marine recruited to befriend the daughter of a terrorist to bring the organization down from within,” Paramount said in a statement.

Paramount Network and 101 Studios are producing the series.

Elsewhere in Yellowstone

In related news, Paramount unveiled a promo for Season 5 of Yellowstone last week.

The popular show, starring Kevin Costner, is known for keeping fans glued to their television sets.

Season 5 will launch on Nov. 13 on the Paramount Network, and will feature a movie-length debut. More precisely, the first episode is two hours long.

A Season 5 teaser was actually dropped at The MTV Music Video Awards, which really isn’t a big surprise. MTV and Paramount are siblings, after all.

Yellowstone has been one of the biggest hits of the streaming era. Season 4 premiere brought in more than 14 million viewers becoming the cable’s highest-rated show. Last season’s finale garnered more than 10 million viewers.
