Based on Chris Bohjalian’s 2018 novel of the same name, The Flight Attendant stars Cuoco as the titular flight attendant, who wakes up from a hangover in Dubai with a dead man next to her. Instead of telling authorities, Cassie joins her co-workers on the flight back to New York City, where FBI agents want to question her. Since there is no evidence, even Cassie begins to think she might be the man’s murderer.
The series was an instant success, even earning Cuoco a Golden Globes win, and in December 2020, HBO Max officially greenlit Season 2. Season 2 will depart from the source material, as Bohjalian’s novel does not have a sequel. Per the official synopsis from HBO Max, “Season two finds Cassie Bowden (Kaley Cuoco) living her best sober life in Los Angeles while moonlighting as a CIA asset in her spare time. But when an overseas assignment leads her to inadvertently witness a murder, she becomes entangled in another international intrigue.”
In addition to Cuoco returning in the titular role, The Flight Attendant Season 2 will also see recurring cast members Zosia Mamet (Annie), Griffin Matthews (Shane), Deniz Akdeniz (Max), and Rosie Perez (Megan) returning. Mo McRae is joining the cast as CIA officer Benjamin Berry, with Callie Hernandez set to star as bounty hunter Gabrielle Diaz, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Season 2 does not yet have a premiere date.
