Who knew daytime TV could be so chaotic? The Morning Show season 3 on Apple TV Plus is back with a vengeance. The drama, which explores the competitive world of morning news returns, inviting Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, and a few new faces into our homes each week.
Two episodes of The Morning Show season 3 are streaming now on Apple TV Plus.
The Morning Show takes viewers behind the curtain of a popular morning news program like Good Morning America. Season 3 picks up the pieces after the events of season 2, which found Alex Levy (Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon) dealing with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic smack dab in the middle of New York City. Alex tests positive and then hosts a live special about recovering from coronavirus in an effort to rehabilitate her character on the UBA+ streaming platform.
Bradley has her own encounter with the illness to reunite with her brother — sans masks or any kind of protective gear, right in the middle of an emergency room. But one of the biggest bombshells was UBA chief Cory Ellison (Crudup) finally announcing his feelings for Bradley, who seemingly doesn't return his affections as she's already in a relationship. But does she secretly harbor feelings for Cory, too?
The Morning Show season 3 will add some new cast members, with Jon Hamm settling into the role of Paul Marks, a corporate mogul who "sets his sights on UBA" and Nicole Beharie as Christina Hunter, a new anchor joining the team.
