\n\tJust before season four of The Morning Show<\/a> goes live, Apple TV+ has extended the show\u2019s run.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe tech giant\u2019s streaming service has ordered a fifth season of the drama starring and executive produced by Jennifer Aniston<\/a> and Reese Witherspoon<\/a> as anchors at a fictional TV network. The pickup comes hours ahead of The Morning Show\u2019s fourth season premiere on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tShowrunner Charlotte Stoudt and director\/executive producer Mimi Leder are set to continue in those roles in season five.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Morning Show has been a standout from the very start, debuting as one of the flagship series on Apple TV+. It\u2019s been incredibly rewarding to see it not only entertain but also resonate with audiences worldwide,\u201d said Matt Cherniss, head of programming at Apple TV+. \u201cThanks to the outstanding cast and creative team \u2014 led by Jennifer, Reese, Charlotte and Mimi \u2014 The Morning Show continues to deliver addictively entertaining and provocative stories that we\u2019ve all come to love. We\u2019re excited for viewers to experience the next chapter of this Emmy-winning drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason four is set in early 2024, but Stoudt and Leder said at the show\u2019s red carpet premiere last week that it won\u2019t feature the presidential election as a central story line, with Stoudt noting that most of the season takes place before Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid in July. \u201cWe try to go at it sideways,\u201d she told The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cWe don\u2019t really have, directly, an election story, but we do touch on the idea of: Why were two older white men running for president?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with Aniston and Witherspoon, season four\u2019s returning cast inlcudes Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Greta Lee, Nicole Beharie and Jon Hamm, alongside new additions<\/a> Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, Boyd Holbrook, Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to witness the collective talent, passion and commitment of Jen, Reese, Mimi, Charlotte, our partners at Hello Sunshine and Echo Films, and everyone involved in The Morning Show, and we\u2019re excited to embark on a new season that will give this cast and creative team even more room to shine,\u201d said Michael Ellenberg, CEO of studio MediaRes and an executive producer of the series. \u201cWe are so grateful to Apple TV+ and the fans around the world who tune in every week, and are so excited for viewers to see this upcoming season and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStoudt and Leder executive produce The Morning Show with Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res; Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter for Hello Sunshine; Aniston and Kristin Hahn for Echo Films; and Zander Lehmann and Micah Schraft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just before season four of The Morning Show goes live, Apple TV+ has extended the show\u2019s run.
