Fans have been enjoying season 2 of HBO Max’s hit series The Flight Attendant<\/em><\/a> \u2014 and Deniz<\/span> Akdeniz<\/strong>, who plays Max, Annie’s boyfriend\/fianc\u00e9, is happy to be back on the small screen again, as he originally wasn’t sure if the series would get picked up for another season \u2014 and if his character would be back.<\/p>\n

“It was a bit of a nail-biter to find out if I was going to be included,” the 32-year-old exclusively tells GRAZIA USA<\/em>. “It was coming down to the wire, and my manager played a trick on me. When the call came through, they made it sound like it wasn\u2019t going to happen, but it did. When the scripts started coming through, it was beautiful to see how in depth we were going this season \u2014 the murder and the mayhem and the chaos were next level, but we also got time to spend with these characters and delve into their relationship.”<\/p>\n

“It was kind of exciting to keep this journey going and getting into the characters more. I think it made season 2<\/a> a lot more fun,” he adds.<\/p>\n

Though Max and Annie have to work out some relationship issues \u2014 he proposed, but Annie (Zosia Mamet<\/strong>) didn’t want to accept until they almost died \u2014 the handsome hunk was happy that Max “finally” found his voice in their romance. “You see a different side\u00a0 to Annie, where her insecurities are taking the best of her,” he notes. “She was strong and knew where she was heading, but now she is having an-between period \u2013 same with Cassie (Kaley Cuoco<\/strong>) as well.”<\/p>\n

Since Max is a hacker, the Australia native admits it was fascinating to learn more about the job. “I see it as a super power for him, and it\u2019s interesting that all of these things can be done \u2014 and kind of terrifying at the same time because the more I find out about it, the more terrified I am. Like, ‘Wow, I have no privacy whatsoever now because these things are possible \u2013 these super powers that Max has are really real,'” he quips, adding that he did an “extensive” amount of homework whenever he got the scripts. “I think it really leads into Max\u2019s curiosity for mysteries \u2013 it’s like a puzzle. There is just this genuine curiosity of what they can do and how far they can go and that aligns with Max as a person<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Akdeniz says playing “Max is a lot of fun. No matter how bad everything is going, he still is kind of having good time or trying to figure it out. There is just a joy to him, so it’s fun to be on set! It\u2019s something that keeps the moods up and spirits high and it makes every day a lot of fun, especially with the cast that we have.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, many Hollywood stars were added to season 2, including Cheryl Hines<\/strong>, Sharon Stone<\/strong>, which was a treat for the actor. “We have a lot of female powerhouses on this show \u2014 from Rosie Perez<\/strong> to Sharon Stone to Cheryl Hines, they are amazing actresses. One of the beautiful things about working on this show is that we have so many great talents like this come together in this story and working with people of that caliber, it makes everything a lot easier.”<\/p>\n

He adds, “I was lucky enough to have scenes with Cheryl Hines, and I have been watching her for years. She is phenomenal, but you\u2019re just like, ‘She\u2019s another castmate here to have some fun and play around in the scene.'”<\/p>\n

The season 2 finale just aired on May 26 \u2014 “the climax is well worth it,” he says \u2014 but the April Rain<\/em> alum is hoping he can reunite with Mamet and Cuoco again. “It\u2019s been very easy \u2014 me and Zosia from the get-go found this rhythm that really spoke to us and made those characters come to life,” he says of their chemistry. “Kaley does such a great job, and she does it with such grace and every day \u2013 everyone is lovely, we truly are one big happy family<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“Season 3 would be so much fun \u2013 it would be lovely to get all together again to do another wild ride<\/a>,” he says. “I didn\u2019t know how they were going to make a season 2, and the team is just so amazing. They were able to create another great story, so I am sure they will be able to do more fun in season 3. Me and Zosia have been pitching various spin-offs\/Christmas specials while we were filming, which may or may not have fallen on deaf ears, but we still pitched them! I am sure they can do much better than what Zosia and I made up in an afternoon between set-ups, but I think a Christmas special would be a lot of fun.”<\/p>\n
