Apple TV renewed “The Morning Show,<\/a>” which stars Jennifer\u00a0Aniston and\u00a0Reese Witherspoon,\u00a0for Season 5 in September 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Season 4 finale, which began streaming in November 2025, left the show’s main characters in very cliffhanger-y places. Aniston’s Alex rescued Witherspoon’s Bradley from where she was being detained and lightly tortured in Belarus. UBN, the network at the center of the series, was adrift after yet another highly public scandal \u2014\u00a0this one ending in the ouster of network executive Celine (played by Marion Cotillard). (Read a full finale recap here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The series’ cast also includes Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie, and Jon Hamm.<\/p>\n
