The first season, which premiered in November 2020, followed Cuoco's alcoholic, globe-trotting flight attendant Cassie Bowden as she becomes embroiled in a spy plot after her affair with a first-class passenger, who is murdered after their night together.
In the second season, Bowden returned with a fresh start in Los Angeles, sober and moonlighting as a CIA agent in her spare time. But when an overseas assignment leads her to accidentally witness a murder, she becomes entangled in yet another international intrigue.
Based on Chris Bohjalian's novel of the same name, The Flight Attendant also starred Zosia Mamet, Griffin Matthews, Deniz Akdeniz and Rosie Perez.
Mo McRae, Callie Hernandez and JJ Soria were also regular cast members on the series, which also featured T.R. Knight, Yasha Jackson, Audrey Grace Marshall, Alanna Ubach, Cheryl Hines, Jessie Ennis, Mae Martin, Margaret Cho, Santiago Cabrera, Sharon Stone and Shohreh Aghdashloo played.
The Flight Attendant was developed by showrunner Steve Yockey, who served as executive producer along with co-showrunner and executive producer Natalie Chaidez. Cuoco, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, David Madden, Suzanne McCormack and Silver Tree served as executive producers. Jess Meyer served as co-executive producer and Bonnie Munoz produced.
The series is produced by Warner Bros Television, Cuoco's Yes, Norman Productions and Berlanti Productions.
Cuoco said, “What started out as an attention-grabbing book cover quickly evolved into an extraordinary flight of a lifetime. I always envisioned TFA as a limited series and thanks to an incredible creative team, we were able to deliver two thrilling seasons. Personally, playing Cassie has been a dream come true and I am so grateful for everyone who played a part in bringing this extremely original series to life.”
Yockey added, “The Flight Attendant was a true passion project and the reception from viewers and critics alike was pretty stunning. Our unorthodox spectacle of a show really found people. As we all move on to new projects, those two seasons of television and the incredible team of professionals behind them will always stay at the top of my list.”
