Stream the premiere of The Flight Attendant for free on HBO Max

You can watch the first episode of the new HBO Max series The Flight Attendant for free this weekend. Here’s what’s up.

The new HBO Max series The Flight Attendant premieres this week, but you can watch the premiere installment right now – for free.

The drama stars The Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco as the titular flight attendant in this comedic and dark thriller based on the novel by New York Times bestselling author Chris Bohjalian.

According to HBO Max, the series “is a story of how an entire life can change in one night. A flight attendant (Cuoco) wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man – and no idea what happened.”

The series also stars Michelle Gomez, Michiel Huisman, Rosie Perez, Zosia Mamet, T.R. Knight, Colin Woodell, Merle Dandridge, Griffin Matthews, and Nolan Gerard Funk.

You can stream the premiere right now on the HBO Max site without a subscription ahead of its official premiere on Thursday, November 26. Following its debut on the streaming service, the first episode will also air on HBO’s linear channel and On Demand service starting Friday, November 27 during a free preview weekend.

For subscribers, the first three episodes of the series will be available on HBO Max on launch day. The limited series continues with two new episodes on December 3, followed by two new episodes on December 10, leading up to the finale episode on December 17.

For those who weren’t aware, the HBO Max site has an entire subsection dedicated to letting users sample several popular series without a subscription, including the West Wing reunion special and premiere episodes of Lovecraft Country, Raised by Wolves, The Murders at White House Farm and more.
