Kaley Cuoco<\/a>‘s thriller has officially been grounded. The Max original series\u00a0<\/span>The\u00a0<\/em>Flight Attendant<\/em><\/a>\u00a0has been canceled after two seasons at the Warner Bros. Discovery streamer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “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,” Cuoco, who <\/span>also served as an executive producer<\/a>, said in a statement Friday. “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.”<\/span><\/p>\n Series creator\u00a0Steve Yockey added, “<\/span>The Flight Attendant<\/span><\/em> 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.”<\/span><\/p>\n Yockey served as showrunner and executive producer alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Natalie Chaidez. Greg Berlanti, Cuoco, Sarah Schechter, David Madden, Suzanne McCormack and Silver Tree were executive producers. Jess Meyer served as co-executive producer, and Bonnie Munoz as producer.<\/span><\/p>\n Adapted from Chris Bohjalian’s 2018 novel,\u00a0<\/span>The Flight Attendant\u00a0<\/span><\/em>was <\/span>initially set as a limited series<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0aired two seasons on the streamer, with the second installment ending in May 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cuoco starred alongside series regulars Zosia Mamet, Griffin Matthews, Deniz Akdeniz, Rosie Perez,\u00a0Mo McRae, Callie Hernandez and JJ Soria. Over two seasons, the series featured appearances by 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.<\/span><\/p>\n Season 1 of the thriller\u00a0follows\u00a0Cassie Bowden (Cuoco) after <\/span>she wakes up in a hotel room next to a dead man<\/a>, Alex Sokolov (Michiel Huisman), with no recollection of what happened. Throughout eight episodes, Cassie goes on a messy, chaotic journey in her desperate attempt\u00a0to seek the truth and find out who killed Alex. It all culminated dramatically when it’s revealed in the final two episodes that it was her boy toy Buckley Ware (Colin Woodell), aka Felix, who slit Alex’s throat.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>second installment shows Cassie finally accepting<\/a> every sliver of her imperfect self — the sides she had been running from\u00a0this entire time —\u00a0<\/span>while\u00a0<\/span><\/em>also putting to bed the big mystery plaguing her all season. It turns out CIA boss Dot (Cheryl Hines) was the murderous\u00a0doppelganger wreaking havoc on Cassie’s life! With Dot brought to justice for her two-faced crimes, Cassie also came to discover that Jenny, the unassuming crime podcaster from Alcoholics Anonymous, was anything\u00a0<\/span>but\u00a0<\/span><\/em>— just someone who was obsessed with Felix, the season 1 killer, and ready to go to bat for the jailed murderer. Of course, Cassie had her revenge and eliminated\u00a0Jenny for good.<\/span><\/p>\n And all was well elsewhere in the\u00a0<\/span>Flight Attendant\u00a0<\/span><\/em>universe, too.\u00a0Annie and Max finally had their wedding in the finale — Las Vegas style, complete with “Elvis” — and Megan could seek the closure she needed after spending much of the season on the lam, going into witness protection by the end of the season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cuoco <\/span>seemed satisfied with the season’s finale<\/a> acting as the show’s final note when she\u00a0<\/span>told\u00a0People<\/i><\/a>\u00a0she wasn’t ready for another season after last May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Now I’m like, ‘We did two. We should probably be done.’ And I think I’ve been outnumbered with that thought,” Cuoco, who earned her\u00a0<\/span>first Emmy\u00a0nomination<\/a>\u00a0for the role,\u00a0shared. “There’s definitely interest in doing a third season. I think for me, at this moment, the plane has landed.”<\/span><\/p>\n She added, “I mean, we’ve done so much this season. Even in the eight episodes, we’ve done so much story that I’m thinking, ‘Well, what could we do next?’ So, it’s going to take a lot of thought to make sure if we go back that it’s better than the last two, which is very hard to do.”<\/span><\/p>\n The best part about season 2’s finale, Cuoco told the outlet, is that it could be done but that it also leaves room for the show to continue. “I think the writers and the team did a really beautiful job in tying it up in a pretty bow,” she noted. “But if you had to open the bow, it would be okay.”<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the actress is promoting her latest project, her\u00a0film\u00a0<\/span>Role Play<\/em><\/a>, and enjoying life as a mom after\u00a0giving birth to her daughter Matilda, whom she shares with partner\u00a0<\/span>Tom Pelphrey<\/a>,\u00a0in March 2023.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The film, out Jan. 12 exclusively on Prime Video, also stars\u00a0<\/span>David Oyelowo<\/a>\u00a0as Cuoco’s husband.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
