Kaley Cuoco, free at last from The Big Bang Theory’s stinky nerds, is leaving on a jet plane for her next series. The Flight Attendant, an HBO Max series based on Chris Bohjalian’s novel, stars the actor as an airline employee who, after a fling with a hunky passenger, finds herself at the center of a murder investigation.

The Flight Attendant comes from a co-creator of Netflix’s You, and that series’ blend of comedy and thrills looks to also be on display here. After waking up next to a corpse, Cuoco’s hapless character, ostensibly innocent, can’t help but look guilty after making all the wrong choices. Soon, the FBI’s on her trail and her fellow flight attendants are raising eyebrows.
