The Morning Show returns to open another day.
Apple has renewed the Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon-fronted drama series for a third season. It comes after the second season launched in September 2021 and ran through November.
However, the glitzy workplace drama series will have a new boss for its third season.
Kerry Ehrin, who developed The Morning Show and served as showrunner on the first and second seasons, will step down as showrunner with Fosse/Verdon co-exec producer Charlotte Stoudt, who is also exec producing Netflix’s Pieces of Her, replacing her as showrunner. Ehrin will serve as consultant on the third season.

As part of the move, Stoudt, who has also worked on series including House of Cards and Homeland, has signed a multi-year overall deal with the streamer.
Picking up after the events of season one, season two found The Morning Show team emerging from the wreckage of Aniston’s Alex and Witherspoon’s Bradley’s actions, to a new UBA and a world in flux, where identity is everything and the chasm between who we present as and who we really are comes into play.
The cast also includes Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Bel Powley, Desean Terry, Janina Gavankar, Tom Irwin and Marcia Gay Harden with the likes of Greta Lee, Ruairi O’Connor, Hasan Minhaj, Holland Taylor, Tara Karsian, Valeria Golino and Julianna Margulies joining in season two.
The second season [SPOILER ALERT] ends with Aniston’s Alex Levy going on air as she battles Covid in the wake of being “canceled” following Maggie Brenner’s tell-all book about the host’s affair with her morning show co-host Mitch Kessler.
