Michiel Huisman is set to star as the male lead opposite Kaley Cuoco in the HBO Max series The Flight Attendant.

Based on the novel by New York Times bestselling author Chris Bohjalian, and adapted for televise by Steve Yockey, the story follows flight attendant Cassie (Cuoco) as she wakes in a hotel room hungover in Dubai with a dead body next to her, with absolutely no recollection of what had happened or who the man is. 

Per multiple sources, Huisman will play Alex, a charming, wealthy businessman, who runs into some serious bad luck in Bangkok and ends up sticking with Cassie (Cuoco) longer than expected. 

Filming is set to begin this fall on eight one-hour episodes.
