Hard-partying flight attendant Cassie (Kaley Cuoco) sure went through a lot in the last season of HBO’s comic thriller series. But in the trailer below for season two, she seems to be comfortably soaring above it all.
Until she’s confronted by doppelgangers, and gets framed for some random explosions in Europe. We can’t wait to begin our descent with Cassie, but UK passengers will only be able to board on May 26, when the entire second series of The Flight Attendant drops on Sky Max and NOW.
“You actually seem very put-together”, a fellow stewardess congratulates Cassie before they take to the skies. She has indeed quit drinking, and boasts to her bestie Zosia Mamet that everything’s going swimmingly. The reveal that she’s working undercover for the CIA is our first clue that Cassie is in fact not doing so well.
We see multiple versions of her meeting in what looks like a fancy hotel bar, dressed in airline outfits and a glam formal gown. Spiralling off in a different direction to the Chris Bojahlian novel from which season one drew its thrilling story, anything could happen to The Flight Attendant now that her identity has come totally unscrewed. The sudden appearance of Sharon Stone as her super young-looking mum doesn’t seem to make things any more settled.
Rosie Perez’s fellow attendant Megan shows up in the new trailer, too, still on the run and now endangered by Cassie’s CIA activities. Perez was chosen as one of Travis Johnson’s highlights of The Flight Attendant, a show which he also celebrated for its uplifting of Cuoco after countless dull seasons of The Big Bang Theory.
“All up, The Flight Attendant is a fast, funny and frequently bloody round-the-world trip that is a perfect showcase for Kaley Cuoco 2.0″, he claimed during 2020’s first season release. “Book your tickets now.”
