Kaley Cuoco captured America’s heart on The Big Bang Theory, and she demonstrated with The Flight Attendant that she could carry a show on her own. The thriller The Flight Attendant depicts Cuoco as a hard-partying flight attendant who wakes up one morning to find a dead guy in her hotel room and has no idea how he got there. Rotten Tomatoes gives the show a 98% rating when it aired on HBO Max. The show was renewed for a second season after a strong response from fans, and HBO made the announcement just one day after the first season’s end. However, following the broadcast of the second season’s episodes, Cuoco stated that the sitcom will “likely” not return for season 3.
