Kaley Cucco Discusses THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT Season 2 and Reacts to Her Golden Globe Nomination
Kaley Cucco was recently nominated for Best Actress for her role in the HBO Max series The Flight Attendant. The series itself was also nominated for Best TV series musical or comedy.
I thought The Flight Attendant was a fantastic series, one of my favorites of the year! I couldn’t be happier to see the series get the recognition that it deserves. Cuoco, who is also an executive producer on the series, is also excited, and in a recent interview, she expressed that excitement and also teased what we can expect from the upcoming second season saying:
“The C.I.A. is definitely interested in her. We haven’t written anything yet, we just started our writers’ room, but I think the journey for her emotionally is that she is going to try and have a sober journey. Because she is so impatient, and her personality is so black-and-white, she’s going to go into this thinking it’s easy; a quick fix and that she’s fixed her demons. I think she’s going to learn very quickly that this is a life-long struggle and she’s going to be way over her head.”
I’ll be looking forward to seeing how this story continues to play out. The series is filled with such great characters, and I’d like to know where they go from where the first season ended. As far as her reaction to getting two Gloden Globe nominations, she said:
“I’ve been in this business for 30 years, and I was in the corner, happy, waving, part of great shows, never did I dream of this moment, nor was it a goal. I just dreamed of being an actor, and so to have this moment this morning after doing this my whole life, I’ll never forget it. My heart is about to burst.”
When talking about initially taking on the series, she said:
“I’ve always been gut driven, I feel it, and say ‘This is right, this is right’. I just saw this book three-and-half years ago and I thought ‘Wow, this character could be really fuckking fun!’ I optioned the book, and if I could tell you over the past few years how often the word ‘tone’ was discussed in phone calls, it’s been crazy. I didn’t know that the word could be said so many times. Finding the tone on this show was incredibly challenging. It was not a drama, it was not a comedy, it was not that. It was all of these things. I felt like I had multiple personalities in practically every scene. It was an actor’s dream. I just went there, and went crazy, and felt it. It turned into the most unique tone I’ve ever played.”
