Kaley Cuoco’s One-Night Stand Turns Deadly in ‘The Flight Attendant’ Trailer

Kaley Cuoco had one bad night that she happened to completely forget. Unfortunately for her, there’s a mysterious dead body involved, and it would be much easier to crack the case if she could just remember a thing or two. HBO Max teased Cuoco’s upcoming series, The Flight Attendant, with a twisted new trailer today, previewing the whodunnit dark comedy set to premiere later this fall.

The Flight Attendant follows Cassie (Cuoco) a flight attendant who meets a dashing passenger named Alex (Michiel Huisman) on one of her trips. The two hit it off quickly, and after hooking up in the airplane bathroom, they take their romance out of the air and onto the streets of Bangkok, where they spend the night together in his hotel room. Everything takes a turn for the worse when Cassie wakes up, hungover and dazed, only to find Alex murdered beside her (but if investigators as asking, “he was so alive,” as Cassie says in today’s trailer.)

And while she can’t remember much about their evening together, she’s determined not to take the blame for Alex’s murder. As she puts it, “I’m a crazy, drunk flight attendant. Not a killer!” But, detectives on the case are catching on. “That flight attendant, she knows more than she’s saying,” one suspects.

The series, which is based on a novel of the same name by author Chris Bohjalian, comes from executive producers Greg Berlanti, Cuoco, Steve Yockey, Marcie Ulin, Meredith Lavender and Sarah Schechter, and co-executive producer Suzanne McCormack. The Flight Attendant also stars Rosie Perez, Zosia Mamet, Michelle Gomez, T.R. Knight, Colin Woodell, Merle Dandridge, Griffin Matthews and Nolan Gerard Funk.

Instead of dropping The Flight Attendant in full, HBO Max is rolling out the limited series in multiple installments, releasing the first three episodes at once, then two episodes per week for two weeks, concluding with the finale, which will be released Dec. 17.

You can catch the first three episodes of The Flight Attendant when they premiere on HBO Max Thursday, Nov. 26. Watch the full trailer in the video above.
