Michiel Huisman has been cast opposite The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco in new HBO Max thriller series The Flight Attendant.
The 38-year-old actor, best known for playing Daario Naharis in Game Of Thrones, will star in the new series based on the novel by Chris Bohjalian.
In the show, Huisman will play charming and wealthy businessman Alex who has some bad luck in Bangkok. He joins Cassie (Kaley Cuoco) after she wakes up in the wrong hotel with a dead man – with no recollection of what happened.
The show is set to launch alongside the new streaming service in the US next spring, with it unknown whether it’ll be released in the UK.
Alongside Game Of Thrones, Huisman also starred in Netflix’s The Haunting Of Hill House, Orphan Black, and Nashville.
The show is part of HBO Max’s line-up of original shows, alongside the likes of Crime Farm produced by Nicole Kidman, an animated series of Gremlins, and romantic comedy anthology Love Life starring Anna Kendrick.
The Flight Attendant also marks one of Cuoco’s first roles following The Big Bang Theory, alongside a voice role as Harley Quinn for a new DC Universe animated series.
The Flight Attendant is expected to release on HBO Max in spring 2020 in the US.
