Michiel Huisman has been cast in The Flight Attendant. 

The Game of Thrones star is set to star opposite Kaley Cuoco in the forthcoming HBO Max based on the novel by the same name by Chris Bohjalian.

Adapted for television 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. 

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.

The show is part of Cuoco’s overall deal with Warner Bros.
