Sonoya Mizuno (Maniac) 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 Big Bang Theory).
Produced by Cuoco’s Yes, Norman and Berlanti Productions, the upcoming Warner Horizon Scripted Television series is based on the novel by New York Times bestselling author Chris Bohjalian, adapted by Steve Yockey (Supernatural). Filming is set to begin this fall on eight one-hour episodes.
The Flight Attendant is a terrifying story of how an entire life can change in one night. Cassie (Cuoco), a flight attendant, wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man – and no idea what happened.
Mizuno will play Miranda, a savvy and potentially dangerous businesswoman who Cassie meets in Bangkok.
