The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco lands role in new 'gripping' thriller
Kaley Cuoco is set to star in an edge-of-your-seat, suspenseful thriller for Prime Video, the streaming service has announced.
Fans of The Big Bang Theory are buzzing with excitement as it's been revealed that Kaley Cuoco, famed for her role as Penny, is diving into a thrilling new venture titled Vanished. The upcoming series boasts an impressive cast including Peaky Blinders' heartthrob Sam Claflin.
Set to premiere on Prime Video next year, Vanished will be available in the UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Joining the stellar lineup are Matthias Schweighöfer from Germany, Simon Abkarian of Casino Royale fame, and Dar Zuzovsky, known for Corduroy.
In Vanished, Kaley Cuoco steps into the shoes of Alice, whose Parisian romantic escape spirals into chaos when her boyfriend Tom, played by Claflin, vanishes without a trace. As Alice delves deeper, she unravels startling truths about the man she thought she knew inside out.
The series is the brainchild of creators David Hilton and Preston Thompson. Tushar Jindal, Head of Content Acquisitions for Prime Video UK, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: "With Kaley and Sam leading an incredible cast, this gripping thriller will keep viewers guessing at every turn.
"We can't wait for audiences to be swept up in the mystery."
Since The Big Bang Theory wrapped up in 2019, Cuoco, now 39, has remained in the spotlight with roles in shows like 8 Simple Rules, The Flight Attendant, and Charmed.
Off-screen, she's enjoying life with actor beau Tom Pelphrey, and they welcomed their daughter Matilda in 2023. Beyond acting, Cuoco has ventured into entrepreneurship with her pet product line, Oh Norman!
Peaky Blinders star Claflin, known for his roles in The Hunger Games, Me Before You and Daisy Jones and the Six, is also making headlines.
Prime Video has announced that production on Vanished has kicked off in Marseille, France, and it's set to be a four-part series.
Big Bang Theory's Cuoco, who played Penny, admitted she was "in a state of shock" when she found out the show was ending.
Recalling the moment Jim Parsons revealed he didn't think he could continue with the series, Cuoco told Variety: "I was so shocked that I was literally like, 'Continue on with what?'"
"Like, I didn't even know what he was talking about. I looked at Chuck: 'Wow. I thought we were - I'm so blown away right now,'" she added.
