Lioness S1-2

Season 2 of Lioness is up for nine awards at this year’s SAFTAs, including Best TV Drama.

Shannon Esra is also up for Best Actress again as Sam, a fiercely protective mother who lost her children after being framed for her husband’s fraud.

Following the first season’s cliffhanger finale, Season 2 picks up with Bianca (Carla Classen) desperately searching for her missing husband, and Sam forced to shield her son Liam (Joshua Eady) at any cost.

At the SAFTAs, Frank Rautenbach is up for Best Actor and Natasha Sutherland for Best Supporting Actress, while the show also cracked nominations for its Cinematography, Art Direction, Make-Up And Hairstyling, Sound, and Original Music/Score.

Lioness is produced by multi-award-winners Ochre Moving Pictures (Housekeepers, Spoorloos, Fatal Seduction). Look out for the likes of Carl Beukes (The Shakedown) and Vinette Ebrahim (Koek) joining the cast this season.
