Warner Bros. Television Group and Kaley Cuoco are extending their long-standing creative partnership with an expansive new overall deal for The Flight Attendant star and executive producer Cuoco and her production company, Yes, Norman Productions.
WBTVG can confirm that it is an exclusive, multi-year pact. Financial terms were not disclosed, per Studio policy.
Cuoco and her Yes, Norman Productions team — led by Executive Vice President Suzanne McCormack — will continued to develop new original programming for all platforms: streaming services (including WarnerMedia’s HBO Max), cable, and the broadcast networks.
“Warner Bros. has been my home away from home for as long as I can remember which makes this partnership so special on every level. I look forward to much-continued success with my extended family!!!!!”

This is Cuoco’s third overall agreement with the Studio. In 2017, she formed Yes, Norman Productions and signed her first WBTVG deal to develop new original programming, and followed that with a new pact in 2019.
Cuoco’s relationship with the Studio dates back to 2007 and the debut of The Big Bang Theory. The blockbuster hit comedy ran for 12 seasons and 279 episodes, making it the longest-running multicamera series in television history.
