Cassie Bowden's deceptively perfect life is about to come crashing down all over again. On April 4, HBO Max released the official trailer for "The Flight Attendant" season two, and Kaley Cuoco is seeing double. "My life and everything, it just all feels pretty great," Cassie says during an AA meeting in the clip. "So most of you know my story by now but, um, I'm still a flight attendant and I've been making better choices," she adds in a teaser trailer posted on March 17. "I moved to LA, met this great guy, picked up a part-time job. I kind of feel like I'm turning into this whole new person."

In reality, Cassie is more miserable than ever before, terrified to take a drink "because if I have one drink, bad things happen." She's also started moonlighting as an asset for the CIA, tailing suspects and writing down clues like a seasoned spy in a detective novel. "There are a lot of weird things going on around me. I'm starting to think that someone is pretending to be me," Cassie says as the pitch in her voice rises and the camera flashes to a woman with the same back tattoo as her. "I have worked so hard to build this new life, and I am holding onto it with everything that I have."

After Cassie is shown reading a copy the 1954 psychological thriller "D'entre Les Morts" (The Living and the Dead) by Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac — not exactly great for her nerves — the teaser flashes to familiar faces like Megan (Rosie Perez), who has a bounty on her head and is being chased by the North Koreans, and Shane Evans (Griffin Matthews). The trailer also teases a mysterious woman in a black coat walking away from a massive car explosion. Could this be the person trying to frame Cassie for murder?

Through it all — including an impromptu trip to Iceland and a screaming fit of frustration — Cassie's more cynical alter ego is there, making constant attempts to coax her back into drinking. "I am one tiny accident away fromo a complete collapse," Cassie says, setting up a whirlwind second season.
