The Morning Show is the Emmy-winning drama series about the cutthroat world of television news starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon as two anchors in the middle of the drama that’s unfolding on and off-screen at the fictional network UBA. After a twist-filled second season that saw the series adjusting to and incorporating the ongoing health scare and social uprisings that unfolded at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Apple TV+ renewed it for season 3.
As anticipation builds for its return to the streaming platform, with fans dying to know what comes next for Alex (Aniston) and Bradley (Witherspoon), the series has been busy filming on location in New York City and padding it’s already star-studded ensemble with even bigger names, like Jon Hamm. Until The Morning Show debuts new episodes, here’s everything to know about the upcoming season, from who’s joining, where things are headed and when it will premiere.
How Things Ended in Season 2
Season 2’s wild ride ended with many of UBA’s employees left at unexpected crossroads in their professional and personal lives. For Alex, that meant facing the reality of what happened between her and Mitch (Steve Carell), all of which was revealed as Maggie Brener (Marcia Gay Harden) promoted the release of her tell-all book, The Wrong Side of the Bed. While coming to terms with his unexpected death, Alex also tested positive for COVID-19.
During Alex’s attempt to recover from the virus, Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup) had Chip Black (Mark Duplass) produce a digital series for UBA+, the network’s new streaming service. While documenting her health battle, Alex and Chip reconciled before it was later revealed that Chip lied about testing positive in order to work alongside her.
