I loved the first season, but the second season stretched my ability to suspend my disbelief. Plus the first season addressed her mental health in a really clever and unique way, but wasn’t really dealt with in season 2 other than some mentions of it, IIRC. Granted I haven’t seen it since right after it was released.

All that to say, the second season wasn’t very good, at least not compared to the first, and I wish it had a chance to redeem itself, but I’m not surprised it wasn’t renewed

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Sources say Max had been considering a third season of The Flight Attendant but ultimately star and exec producer Cuoco opted against returning to the role.

After becoming something of a breakout success for the fledgling, then-named HBO Max, the streamer ordered a second season, which draws the character into another mystery as she moonlights as a CIA asset.

“What started out as an attention-grabbing book cover quickly evolved into an extraordinary flight of a lifetime,” Cuoco said in a statement.

Added creator and executive producer Steve Yockey, “The Flight Attendant was a true passion project, and the reception from viewers and critics alike was pretty stunning.

Cuoco stars in and executive produces Based on a True Story at Peacock, which scored a second season pickup in October.

Yockey, who has an overall deal at Flight Attendant producer Warner Bros. TV, developed and is co-showrunner (with Beth Schwartz) of the Max-turned-Netflix series Dead Boy Detectives.
