Narrative:

Flight crew called me to let me know that there was a problem with the brakes (aircraft left). Said that we were close to ZZZ; and to clean up and secure; then they would get back with us. I walked back to flight attendant #2 since she was almost completed with her service; and asked her to discontinue service. After she came up to the galley; I briefed her. They got back with us to tell us that they received an indication that the brakes were overheating. We would be diverting to ZZZ. I asked the severity of the emergency; and they got back to me and stated to expect a normal landing. Flight attendant #2 discontinued her service; and we secured the cabin; per our manual; and prepared to land in ZZZ. Emergency vehicles were lined up on the runway; awaiting our arrival. When we arrived; they checked the 'AC' and we proceeded to a holding pad; until we knew it was deemed safe to taxi to the gate. Landing was normal.
