His team includes his trusted confidant, Ray Perry, the longest-tenured operator with whom Jason shares an ingrained shorthand; Sonny Quinn, an exceptional, loyal soldier with a checkered past who still combats self-destructive tendencies; and Clay Spenser, a young, multilingual, second-generation SEAL with insatiable drive and dedication.

The Flight Attendant isn’t grounded just yet. Although it was originally listed as a “limited series,” HBO Max isn’t ready to say goodbye quite yet. The critically acclaimed series has, justifiably, earned a second season.

Series star Kaley Cuoco executive produces along with Greg Berlanti, Kaley Cuoco, Steve Yockey, and Sarah Schechter. The comedic thriller is a Yes, Norman Productions (Cuoco’s company), Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television production.

“To say that I am elated would be an understatement! The positive response to our show has surpassed all of our expectations and I’m so proud of the entire team behind its success,” stated Cuoco. “I’m thrilled to continue my partnership with Team Berlanti, Steve Yockey, HBO Max and of course my beloved studio, Warner Bros. I have amazing partners in Suzanne McCormack and Mackenzie Shade at Yes, Norman Prods., where we are committed to delivering diverse and quality entertainment, including an exciting (and probably a little crazy) TFA season 2!!”

In addition to Cuoco, season one stars Michiel Huisman, Rosie Perez, Zosia Mamet, Michelle Gomez, T.R. Knight, Colin Woodell, Merle Dandridge, Griffin Matthews, and Nolan Gerard Funk.

“We are delighted that the show has resonated so strongly with audiences and critics,” said Casey Bloys, Chief Content Officer, HBO and HBO Max. “We congratulate Kaley, Steve, Greg and Sarah, along with the rest of the incredibly talented cast, executive producers and our partners at Warner Bros. Television on all the success of the first season. I look forward to seeing where Cassie will go next.”

Season one premiered on November 18, 2020 and proved to be incredibly popular, with ratings improving each week of its eight-episode run.

“We could not be more pleased to embark on another adventure with our incredible partners at Yes, Norman, Kaley and Suzanne, our wonderful creator Steve Yockey, as well as our collaborators at WBTV and HBO Max,” said executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. “We are thrilled that people have responded so positively to our beloved show, and in particular Kaley Cuoco’s incredible, tour de force performance.”

Season one concluded on December 17, 2020. There’s no word yet on when we can expect season two to arrive. HBO Max teased the second season will feature Cassie in a new adventure.

The Flight Attendant Season 1 Description, Courtesy of HBO Max:

Season one was based on the novel of the same name by New York Times bestselling author Chris Bohjalian and told the story of how an entire life can change in one night. Flight attendant “Cassie Bowden” (Cuoco) woke up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man – and no idea what happened.




‘Snowfall’ Season 4 and ‘Hip Hop Uncovered’ Premiere in February 2021

Snowfall Season 4 Poster

FX has set a February 24, 2021 premiere date for season four of Snowfall. The critically acclaimed drama will air on Wednesdays at 10pm ET/PT on FX and will then will be available the following day on FX on Hulu.

Season four episodes one and two will premiere on Feb. 24th. Per FX, season four will consist of 10 episodes.

John Singleton, Eric Amadio, and Dave Andron created the series and serve as executive producers with Thomas Schlamme, Michael London, Trevor Engelson, Leonard Chang, Walter Mosley, and Julie DeJoie. In addition, Andron is the showrunner.

The official season four premiere date announcement included details on the upcoming season:

“Business is booming in season four of Snowfall. It’s January 1, 1985. Ronald Reagan has won his re-election campaign proclaiming it is ‘morning again in America,’ but in South Central, Los Angeles, it feels more like the sun is getting low. The demand for crack cocaine is high, and while our crew of dealers led by Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) are benefitting greatly from the rising tide of addiction, they are also starting to become aware of the damage the drug is doing to the people and to the place they love.

With the entire nation taking note, the LAPD is diverting serious money and resources to the ‘war on drugs.’ Politicians’ phones are ringing. Powerful people are concerned, from the hallways of The White House to those of CIA headquarters, where there are whispers that one of their own may be involved in this burgeoning epidemic.”

The new documentary series Hip Hop Uncovered will join FX’s primetime lineup on Friday, February 12, 2021. The six-part series will drop two new episodes each week, with each episode available the following day on FX on Hulu.

Hip Hop Uncovered is executive produced by Malcolm Spellman, Rashidi Natara Harper, Eugene “Big U” Henley, Jimmy “JimBob” Chris, Douglas Banker, and BJ Levin.

Per the official synopsis:

“From executive producer Malcolm Spellman and Oscar and Emmy-winning production company Lightbox, comes Hip Hop Uncovered, an examination of a dying breed of power brokers who operate from the shadows of hip hop. Set against 40 years of music history, this six-part documentary series, directed by Rashidi Natara Harper, takes a deep dive into the paradox of America’s criminalization of the genre and its fascination with the street culture that created it and still exists within it.

Instead of telling the story of hip hop from the top down, Hip Hop Uncovered tells the story from the streets up, as it reveals the untold story of how America’s streets helped shape hip hop culture from an expression of survival and defiance into music’s most dominant genre.”
