Kaley Cuoco's THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT Renewed for Season 2 by HBO Max
HBO Max has renewed Kaley Cuoco’s murder mystery thriller The Flight Attendant for a second season! The news comes right after the season finale, which I haven’t had a chance to watch yet. But, I’ve enjoyed watching the series so far! The story has some fun twists and turns, and it’s great to see Cuoco really show off her acting skills. She’s great in this!
The series is based on the book by Chris Bohjalian, and the story centers on an alcoholic, globe-trotting flight attendant named Cassie Bowen (Cuoco) “who becomes embroiled in an espionage plot following her affair with a first class passenger, who winds up murdered after their night together.”
The Flight Attendant was originally intended to just be a limited series, but series creator and executive producer Steve Yockey knew there was more story to tell, so now he’s being given the opportunity to tell it.
The news was announced by Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer, HBO and HBO Max, who said:
“We are delighted that the show has resonated so strongly with audiences and critics. We congratulate Kaley, Steve, Greg and Sarah, along with the rest of the incredibly talented cast, executive producers and our partners at Warner Bros. Television on all the success of the first season. I look forward to seeing where Cassie will go next.”
Cuoco shared in a statement:
“To say that I am elated would be an understatement! The positive response to our show has surpassed all of our expectations and I’m so proud of the entire team behind its success. I’m thrilled to continue my partnership with Team Berlanti, Steve Yockey, HBO Max and of course my beloved studio, Warner Bros. I have amazing partners in Suzanne McCormack and Mackenzie Shade at Yes, Norman Prods., where we are committed to delivering diverse and quality entertainment, including an exciting (and probably a little crazy) TFA season 2!!”
Executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter added:
“We could not be more pleased to embark on another adventure with our incredible partners at Yes, Norman, Kaley and Suzanne, our wonderful creator Steve Yockey, as well as our collaborators at WBTV and HBO Max. We are thrilled that people have responded so positively to our beloved show, and in particular Kaley Cuoco’s incredible, tour de force performance.”
It’s cool to know that we are going to get to see this story continue beyond one season. It’ll be interesting to see how the story continues to play out with these characters.
