The Flight Attendant Cast & Character Guide

HBO Max’s The Flight Attendant cast is headlined by seasoned actress Kaley Cuoco, and she’s surrounded by a handful of notable faces. Based on the 2018 novel by Chris Bohjalian, the thriller was developed by Steve Yockey and serves as the streamer’s third Max Original live-action series. The Flight Attendant, however, is the service’s first foray into dark comedy with a mysterious twist.

The Flight Attendant follows a woman who spends the night in a Bangkok hotel before waking up next to a dead body. Considering she can’t remember the chain of events, she struggles to clear herself as the murderer. Instead of getting help from the local police, she returns to her job as a flight attendant as if nothing ever happened until the FBI comes for answers.

Not only does Cuoco star as the central figure, but the actress is also an executive producer for the series. In total, The Flight Attendant consists of eight episodes, making for a quick and concise murder mystery miniseries.

Kaley Cuoco As Cassie Bowden

Kaley Cuoco stars as the lead character, Cassie Bowden, a flight attendant who goes on a date in Bangkok only to wake up to his dead body the following morning. As a party girl, Cassie was highly intoxicated during the encounter, having no recollection of what transpired. Rather than alert the police, Cassie cleans the hotel room before heading back to New York. Cuoco is best known for playing Penny in all 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory, but she’s also known for roles in 8 Simple Rules, Charmed, and The Wedding Ringer.

Michiel Huisman As Alex Sokolov
