Kaley Cuoco discussed her upcoming HBO series The Flight Attendant with TV Insider. Check out some highlights from the interview!

Cassie is so different from Penny. How would you describe her?

Kaley Cuoco: She’s the fun flight attendant who looks completely put together but really is falling apart inside. She’s an alcoholic, but obviously doesn’t want to admit it. She is a disaster, but at the end of the day, she has a good heart and she wants to do what’s right.

So you’re clearly hoping for a second season with Cassie, but do you miss Penny?

Oh, I do. I love that character. I owe everything to Penny and to that show. And if [Big Bang cocreator Chuck Lorre] asked me to do another sitcom, I would do it in a heartbeat.

What kind of TV would we catch you watching to unwind?

I just really love reality TV. I get so sucked in. [Bravo’s] Below Deck, I can’t get enough of. [TLC’s] 90 Day Fiancé, [Lifetime’s] Married at First Sight. [ABC’s] Dancing With the Stars is back. When you look at my TiVo and see what’s on there, I’m embarrassed. If Karl [Cook, my husband] doesn’t hear from me for a few hours, he’s like, “How many shows have you watched?” I’m like, “It’s lady-TV night! Leave me alone!”

An interview with Kaley Cuoco was published by the Associated Press recently, and you can check out an excerpt here:

“The Flight Attendant” is a dark thriller with comedic overtones, letting Cuoco employ the love of laughter she honed for 12 seasons on the CBS comedy. Cuoco said she won a bidding war for the rights to the novel of the same name by Chris Bohjalian.

She stars as Cassie Bowden, a flight attendant who wakes up in the wrong hotel in the wrong bed with a dead man, and has no idea what happened.

“It’s kind of an actor’s dream to play someone like her,” Cuoco said on a video conference Wednesday. “She’s got a roller coaster of issues but a heart of gold. She’s strong.”

Cuoco serves for the first time as an executive producer on the limited series set to air this fall on new streaming service HBO Max.

“It’s been total career-changing for me just to see it from the beginning and kind of go with my gut on things and make my own decisions,” she said.

The series had filmed five of its eight episodes before production was shut down in early March due to the global coronavirus pandemic. Production is set to resume late this month in New York, with social distancing, rewrites to certain aspects of the script and daily COVID-19 testing for actors working closely together.
