Trailer drops for Kaley Cuoco’s edgy new show The Flight Attendant

TV queen Kaley Cuoco is breaking free from her Big Bang Theory roots in this edgy new thriller, which is coming to streaming.

If you loved the gripping TV series You, then Kaley Cuoco’s latest show will be your next obsession.

In her first breakout role since Big Bang Theory ended last year, the 34-year-old actress stars and executive produces HBO Max’s upcoming show The Flight Attendant, which is co-produced by You co-creator Greg Berlanti.

The murder mystery thriller, which hits streaming locally on Binge on November 26, is a far cry from Cuoco’s girl-next-door roots as Penny Hofstadter on the beloved comedy sitcom, which first started airing back in 2007 and made its main stars (very rich) household names.

A minute-long trailer for The Flight Attendant was released today and it’s fair to say fans of Cuoco are losing their minds:

The dark comedic thriller is based on the novel of the same name by New York Times best-selling author Chris Bohjalian.

Michiel Huisman, Rosie Perez, Zosia Mamet, Michelle Gomez, T.R. Knight, Colin Woodell, Merle Dandridge, Griffin Matthews, and Nolan Gerard Funk also make up the cast.

Speaking about choosing what role she would take on after 12 seasons on Big Bang Theory, Cuoco said she anticipated negative reaction no matter what she did.

“If I had chosen a sitcom, (people would) be like, ‘Oh, my God, enough.’ And if I chose a drama, I never would have won anybody over,” she told TV Insider last month.

“I got such a chill (reading The Flight Attendant) and thought, ‘This could be really incredible if we get the right team together.”
