HBO ‘The Flight Attendant’ Season 2: 5 things you never knew about Kaley Cuoco
The first season of 'The Flight Attendant' was not only a hit among viewers, but it also racked up a ton of Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. Based on the eponymous book by Chris Bohjalian, Steve Yockey’s dark comedy stars Kaley Cuoco as Cassie, a flight attendant whose life turns upside down after she wakes up with a dead man in her bed, and no recollection of how it happened. After a tumultuous and dramatic first season, HBO Max had announced the renewal of 'The Flight Attendant' for a second season days after the finale dropped in December 2020.
Season 2 of the show will be a "new adventure for Cassie" as revealed by HBO. Showrunner Steve Yockey said he pictured the new season being like "a new Hitchcock movie for Cassie to stumble into". Meanwhile, Cuoco, apart from starring in both seasons, acts as an executive producer of the show as well. Read on to know more about the cast members.
