The Morning Show season 4: Release date speculation and latest news

As a seasoned television critic with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that The Morning Show has always been one of those shows that keeps me on my toes. With each new season, the writers manage to outdo themselves and bring fresh, relevant stories to the table.


*Warning: This article contains spoilers for The Morning Show season 3.*

After some time, The Morning Show has taken a break from our TV screens following the intense season 3 finale. However, we now have plenty of enticing news about season 4 that you’ll be thrilled about!

The production for the new series commenced at the beginning of this month, and Jennifer Aniston celebrated the start by sharing a backstage snapshot from a table read with her co-stars, Reese Witherspoon and Tig Notaro.

Not only that, but there have been a series of thrilling cast updates for season 4 as well. It’s been officially announced that Julianna Margulies won’t be reprising her role as seasoned journalist Laura Peterson, thus signifying the conclusion of Laura and Bradley’s (Witherspoon) romantic storyline.

Additionally, it’s been revealed that acclaimed Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard is set to join the cast for season 4. She will portray Celine Dumont, a cunning operative hailing from an esteemed European lineage, as reported by Deadline.

Additionally, you’ll be thrilled to know that Jeremy Irons, an Oscar winner, along with Aaron Pierre (“Genius: MLK/X”), William Jackson Harper (“Love Life”), Rachel Marsh (“Unstable”), John Hoogenakker (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”), and Boyd Holbrook (“The Bikeriders”) are all set to appear in the upcoming season. This means there will be a host of new characters to look forward to!

In the final episode of the third season, everyone at UBA collaborated intensely to thwart Paul’s (played by Jon Hamm) attempts to carry out his merger scheme.

In the final episode, just like a captivating drama, we encountered numerous unexpected plots and reversals. It was particularly noteworthy for the exceptional acting by Jennifer Aniston portraying Alex and Reese Witherspoon embodying Bradley, both delivering top-notch performances.

Besides racing against time to expose Paul’s questionable activities, the season finale additionally highlighted that Paul has been secretly monitoring Bradley. Meanwhile, Chip (Mark Duplass) suffered a public meltdown during a live broadcast.

The story concluded dramatically as Bradley and her sibling, Hal (Joe Tippett), chose to surrender to the Federal Bureau of Investigation due to their involvement in the 6th January Capitol uprising.

In other words, it’s fair to speculate that viewers are eagerly awaiting news about the broadcast of Season 4. Here’s what we currently know about the upcoming season of The Morning Show.

Will there be a The Morning Show season 4?

The Morning Show season 4: Release date speculation and latest news

Indeed, it’s true! The highly acclaimed Apple TV+ series received a renewal for a fourth season as far back as April this year, well ahead of the premiere of its third season.

Based on Deadline’s report, it appears that Aniston and Witherspoon’s contracts for season 3 expired. However, it seems that Apple is in discussions with the two stars, who are also executive producers, about renewing their deals. If all goes well, they might re-sign, but they need to sort out their schedules first.

According to Deadline’s updates, there are whispers about a possible Season 5, yet for the moment, let’s focus on each season as it comes.

It’s not unexpected that The Morning Show was quickly renewed for another season, given it’s the second most-watched Apple TV+ original series following Ted Lasso.

The Morning Show season 4 release date speculation

As for when we can expect the fourth season to land on our screens, we may have a while to wait.

Absolutely, because of the ongoing actor’s strikes in the U.S., the start of the fourth season had a bit of a delay, but it’s now back in action.

Given that past seasons of The Morning Show typically premiere every two years in September, it’s reasonable to anticipate the arrival of Season 4 somewhere around September 2025. Rest assured, we’ll make certain to keep you informed about any updates.

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon will once again star as Bradley and Alex, and they’ll also maintain their positions as executive producers for the series.

As a dedicated cinephile, I’m eagerly anticipating Bradley’s role in upcoming seasons. The unexpected turn of events at the end of season 3 has left us all guessing about his character’s fate; time will tell how it unfolds.

Additionally, Season 3 introduced fresh faces such as Jon Hamm, Stephen Fry, Tig Notaro, and Nicole Beharie.

Since Paul’s (Hamm) arrangement fell apart with Alex and their relationship ended, it seems unlikely that we’ll see Paul returning to The Morning Show.

In the upcoming episodes, it has been confirmed that Julianna Margulies will no longer play Laura Peterson. However, these episodes will introduce several fresh characters for viewers to meet.

As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Marion Cotillard is joining our cast as the shrewd Celine Dumont. In the upcoming season, her character is poised for a significant storyline. Aaron Pierre will grace our screens as Miles, an admired artist navigating the social circles of New York’s high society. Lastly, William Jackson Harper brings Ben to life, portraying him as the confident and innovative Head of Sports at our network.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Rachel Marsh is set to join the cast, taking on the role of Remy, Alex’s new assistant. John Hoogenakker has been cast in the part of FBI agent Andy.

What could The Morning Show season 4 be about?

The Morning Show season 4: Release date speculation and latest news

In the final episode of The Morning Show’s third season, there were numerous unexpected developments. Regardless of where the next season begins, it seems likely that the story will continue directly after that dramatic climax.

Bradley and her sibling Hal voluntarily surrendered to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, admitting their involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot.

Although it’s uncertain about Bradley’s fate, it seems Hal might be facing jail time. However, it’s clear that if Bradley avoids prison, her career prospects in journalism appear grim following her actions of manipulating video evidence to shield her brother.

Could this spell the end of her time at UBA? Maybe.

Concerning Alex, she skillfully thwarted Paul’s attempt at a hostile UBA takeover, choosing instead to merge UBA with rival network NBN.

It’s highly likely that the NBN team will appear more frequently in season 4 since Alex and possibly Bradley are compelled to collaborate with their competitors.

Due to Alex betraying Paul, it’s likely they won’t appear together in season 4. However, since Alex is a tech magnate, there’s a chance he might still show up – only time will tell.

As a dedicated movie enthusiast, I’m excited about The Morning Show’s upcoming season because it has consistently tackled contemporary issues head-on. From the pandemic (Covid-19) to political unrest (the Capitol attack) and data breaches, they’ve never shied away from pressing topics. With the American presidential election heating up, I can’t wait to see how season 4 delves deeper into these timely issues, keeping us engaged and informed.

“I believe we’ll be airing the series following when that election will have taken place.”

As a fervent admirer, I find myself questioning whether The Morning Show can follow the trajectory of current events, as we’ve done so in the past with movements like #MeToo and Covid-19, not to mention the profound exploration of women’s rights in Season 3. Frankly, I’m unsure if it’s feasible for them to tackle the election, given the logistical complexities that come with its timeline.

In an interview with Deadline, Charlotte Stoudt, the writer, showrunner, and executive producer, hinted at what to anticipate in season 4. She shared, “We detonated everything last season with the largest explosion imaginable.”

Let’s ponder over the question: How might the band reunite, and what form will this reunion take? This leads us to explore the realm of DeepFakes, AI, and misinformation that is prevalent during times of conflict, like in the Middle East. The issue here is trust – can we rely on what we’re witnessing? Can we believe our own perceptions? Can we put faith in our news sources?

Is there a trailer for The Morning Show season 4?

At this moment, since the latest season is still in production, we don’t have a trailer for the forthcoming season as of now. However, feel free to check out the trailer for season 3, which I’ve provided below.

The Morning Show streams on Apple TV+.
