The plausible murder and the ensuing entanglement of her friends and work peers into the mess can most likely only be done once and be believable. In the second episode of the two-episode premiere, 'Mushrooms, Tasers, and Bears, Oh My,' Cassie’s overseas adventure follows her home It takes a Los Angeles visit from BFF Annie (Zosia Mamet) and now sorta-fiancée Max (Deniz Akdeniz) for the snooping to get out of hand, again.Ĭonsidering how effective and satisfying the first season of the series was, the news that there would be a continuation of Cassie’s story always felt unnecessary. She catches him swapping materials, and bumping uglies, with a mysterious blonde with her same back tattoo, and then, well, trouble ensues. In the premiere episode, 'Seeing Double,' Cassie is keeping up with her new normal until she decides to get too nosy with a German courier she’s asked to only observe, but instead follows all over Berlin. She’s still tempted to drink but she’s got a stable, hot photographer boyfriend, Marco (Santiago Cabrera), to keep her grounded, a wise AA sponsor (Shohreh Aghdashloo), her day job as a flight attendant, and her secret side job as a CIA asset who gets paid to snoop on marks around the globe. Now based in Los Angeles and one-year sober, Cassie seemingly has it all together now. While a bit of the magic and intrigue is gone in Season 2, there is still a good amount of fun in watching Cuoco capably slip back into the driver’s seat as the adjusted series premise invites more messiness into Cassie’s life. But success breeds multiple-season orders and The Flight Attendant is back, following Cassie and company one year after the events of Season 1. It was a fizzy, frothy, and eventually poignant season of storytelling that could have just been a great limited series. Along the way, she also finally faces her inner demons and addiction issues.

For eight episodes, Cuoco and the ensemble cast pulled off the perfect tightwire act of high stakes mixed with wit and panache as Cassie desperately tries to exonerate herself.

Looking to clear her name, Cassie embarks on her own investigation about what happened and ends up inviting all kinds of danger and shadiness into her already extremely messy life. She’s a free-spirited, alcoholic flight attendant whose handsome one-night stand (Michiel Huisman) gets murdered. Two years ago, Chris Bohjalian’s novel, The Flight Attendant, was adapted into a delightfully surprising thriller series starring Kaley Cuoco as Cassie Bowden. The Flight Attendant Season 2 premieres with two new episodes on April 28, followed by one episode weekly concluding May 26 on HBO Max.
