‘The Flight Attendant’ Season 2 Premiere Date Set — Watch Trailer (VIDEO)
“I kind of feel like I’m turning into this whole new person,” Cassie Bowden (Kaley Cuoco) says in the teaser for the new season of The Flight Attendant.
The HBO Max Original returns for Season 2 on Thursday, April 21, with the first two episodes. Two more will drop on April 28, then the rest of the eight-episode season will drop one at a time weekly through May 26. Cassie’s still a flight attendant, but things have changed ever since she woke up next to a dead body and ended up becoming entangled in the subsequent mystery.
Now, “I’ve been making better choices,” Cassie says at AA in the trailer. “I moved to L.A., met this great guy, picked up a part-time job.” That last part? Well, moonlighting as a CIA asset in her spare time has her pretty much living in a spy novel.
“When an overseas assignment leads her to inadvertently witness a murder, she becomes entangled in another international intrigue,” the logline teases. And throughout that, she can’t drink. “Because if I have one drink, bad things happen,” she explains.
Watch the video below to see the new and returning characters, Cassie’s new investigation, Cassie seeing a different version of herself(!), and more.
In addition to Cuoco, Zosia Mamet, Griffin Matthews, Deniz Akdeniz and Rosie Perez return as series regulars and T.R. Knight, Yasha Jackson, and Audrey Grace Marshall continue to recur. Mo McRae, Callie Hernandez, and JJ Soria are new series regulars, while Alanna Ubach, Cheryl Hines, Jessie Ennis, Mae Martin, Margaret Cho, Santiago Cabrera, and Shohreh Aghdashloo will recur.
Also recurring is Sharon Stone, as Cassie’s estranged mother. Lisa “would prefer to stay estranged,” the character description reveals. “After a lifetime of dealing with Cassie’s alcoholism, she no longer has any patience or goodwill to spare.”
The Flight Attendant is developed by showrunner Steve Yockey, who serves as executive producer alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Natalie Chaidez. Greg Berlanti, Cuoco, Sarah Schechter, David Madden, Suzanne McCormack and Silver Tree also serve as executive producers. Jess Meyer is co-executive producer, and Bonnie Munoz is producer. Season 1 was based on New York Times bestselling author Chris Bohjalian’s novel. Season 2 filmed in Los Angeles, Berlin and Reykjavik.
