I am prepping months before anybody ever is able to prep. So it\u2019s already a lot of work for me.\u201d<\/p>\n Salda\u00f1a added: \u201cI can\u2019t imagine me taking on more of a Taylor Sheridan world.\u201d<\/p>\n She went on to say that her work with Sheridan has proved to him that she is \u201creliable, just like Joe is.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI have my views, and I come with all heart, all brains, all muscle at all times,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cSo, no, I think I\u2019m good here at Lioness.\u201d<\/p>\n Salda\u00f1a stars in the series as a CIA operative who leads a top-secret group of female special operatives <\/a>recruited from various branches of the military and tasked with infiltrating terrorist organizations by befriending their wives and daughters. The cast also includes Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman.<\/p>\n When season three of the show was released in August, Salda\u00f1a praised Sheridan for his dense scripts.<\/a><\/p>\n The Oscar winner told People<\/a> at the time: \u201cHe\u2019s very curious about government affairs, and he seeks out information and education based on that curiosity, and then he writes these incredibly elaborate shows that end up really educating us as well.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cWorking with him is a challenge in the sense that he does raise the bar, and you have one of two choices. You either accept the challenge and make sure that you don\u2019t f*** up… or you quit,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I like being challenged. I really do.\u201d<\/p>\n Salda\u00f1a\u2019s remarks come as her co-star Michael Kelly was recently announced to be joining Sheridan in another show in his television universe. Kelly is set to join the cast of Landman season three, which began filming earlier this month.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?
