The Flight Attendant was initially set to be a miniseries event, but thanks to critical acclaim and solid viewership, HBO Max sought out a second season. 

It will find Cassie “living her best sober life in Los Angeles while moonlighting as a CIA asset in her spare time," according to the description.

"But when an overseas assignment leads her to inadvertently witness a murder, she becomes entangled in another international intrigue.”

“We are delighted that the show has resonated so strongly with audiences and critics," said HBO Max and HBO chief content officer Casey Bloys in December 2020 of the Season 2 order.

"We congratulate Kaley, Steve, Greg and Sarah, along with the rest of the incredibly talented cast, executive producers and our partners at Warner Bros. Television on all the success of the first season."

"I look forward to seeing where Cassie will go next.”

While The Flight Attendant Season 1 did have a self-contained case, there were some threads open for a follow-up.

A definite premiere date has not been set, but the series is penciled in for a summer bow.
