"The Flight Attendant" actress
Kaley Cuoco is set to star as legendary actress
Doris Day in an upcoming limited series from Warner Bros. Television. Cuoco’s Yes, Norman Productions and WB Television are teaming with Berlanti Production again after their successful collaboration on
"The Flight Attendant".
The series is based on
A.E. Hotchner's 1976 biography
"Doris Day: Her Own Story", which featured a series of interviews with the Oscar nominated actress, singer and animal rights activist. Day is famous for films like
"Calamity Jane",
Alfred Hitchcock's
"The Man Who Knew Too Much",
"The Pajama Game" and
"Pillow Talk". Like Day, Cuoco is also a champion and supporter of animal welfare causes.
The
"Doris Day" project is the latest in Cuoco's overall Yes, Norman exclusive deal to develop new original programming with Warner Bros. Television Group. She extended her collaboration with the studio by signing a new, exclusive multiyear overall agreement in 2019.
Consulting producers are
Jim Pierson, who worked with Day, and
Tim Hotchner, her biographer's son.
Meanwhile, Cuoco is set to star in the second season of
"The Flight Attendant". The role already earned her Golden Globe and SAG nominations. Her voice will also be featured in the third season of the animated series
"Harley Quinn".
