Deniz spoke exclusively with Distractify about how he felt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Flight Attendant (@flightattendantonmax) Article continues below advertisement "When I was reading the scripts, Max getting hit by the car could have easily gone, 'Oh, and he didn't wake up,'" Deniz revealed exclusively to Distractify. "So, getting the new scripts and going, 'Oh, fantastic. He does. And he's fine,' was very relieving and very exciting because I was having way too much fun with these people during the show. I didn't want it to end by him dying from some random person hitting him with a car." Even though he survives, Max's accident drives a wedge between Cassie and Ani. Max reappears in Season 2 of ' The Flight Attendant ' Season 2 finds Cassie enjoying a new stage in her life. Not only has she quit drinking, but she also has a new boyfriend. Having made significant changes to her lifestyle, she is ready and eager to keep her CIA side-hustle while continuing to work as a flight attendant.

It's quite the change from Season 1, when Ani insisted she hated labels too much to call Max her boyfriend. Needless to add, Ani and Max continue to help Cassie — occasionally exacerbating the extent of the havoc she causes.

However, Max has plenty more obstacles ahead of him. "Max is the punching bag of the show, to be honest," Deniz joked. "So, if there's any danger, it's going to be going through Max. This season, fans should be very concerned for Max's safety, as always, because if something bad's going to happen, Max is definitely going to be at the end of the stick, unfortunately."Source: HBO Max There are some upsides to this, though! "It's fun to play [this part]," Deniz reveals, "Because you get to participate in a lot of these action sequences and whatnot. As long as everyone keeps rooting for Max, it's good times." New episodes of The Flight Attendant become available on HBO Max every Thursday.
