EXCLUSIVE: Greenleaf star Merle Dandridge is set as a series regular opposite Kaley Cuoco in HBO Max’s thriller drama series The Flight Attendant, starring and executive produced by Cuoco.



The Flight Attendant is a story of how an entire life can change in one night. A flight attendant (Cuoco) wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man – and no idea what happened. The dark comedic thriller is based on the novel of the same name by New York Times best-selling author Chris Bohjalian.

Dandridge will play Kim, a no-nonsense lead FBI agent who ends up revisiting some of her own mistakes while investigating all of Cassie’s.

Produced by Cuoco’s Yes, Norman and Berlanti Productions, the upcoming eight-episode hails from Warner Horizon Scripted Television.
