Everything You Need To Know About The Morning Show

In 2017 we heard the news that Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon were working on a new television project together and since then, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the details. We already know they make the perfect on-screen match – thanks to that infamous Friends episode as the Green sisters – and this is Aniston’s first television role since the series finished in 2004, so there’s a lot to be excited about. Here’s the low-down on The Morning Show so far.

What’s the plot?

 
The Morning Show was inspired by Brian Stelter’s book Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV about The Today Show and will explore the power dynamics of men and women in the workplace – delving into ageism and sexism. Told through the lens of two complicated female characters, it is an unapologetic drama that was reinspired just as the #MeToo movement was surfacing, as well as sexual assault allegations against American television news anchor Matt Lauer.

Who’s who?

 
Jennifer Aniston plays Alex Levy, the head anchor on The Morning Show, whilst Reese Witherspoon co stars as Bradley Jackson, an aspiring and hungry journalist who is focused on her own career progression. The female leads bring contrasting ideas of feminism and ways of working in male-dominated spaces to the television series.
 
Meanwhile, Steve Carell plays Mitch Kessler, Levy’s former co-anchor who was fired after a sexual misconduct scandal. Other names to look out for are Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Karen Pittman and Bel Powley.

When can we watch it?

 
The Morning Show, which will air on Apple’s new subscription-based streaming service on 1st November.
