The Morning Show season 4 is on the horizon, and fans of the drama showcasing the cutthroat world of journalism are in for a treat as the new series features a time jump, bringing us forward from where The Morning Show season 3 left off.
The award-winning and global hit drama starring and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, alongside showrunner and executive producer Charlotte Stoudt and director and executive producer Mimi Leder, will return in the Fall and, as long-term fans will know, the series follows news anchors at the fictional station UBA as they navigate their personal and professional lives.
But what is next for Alex, Bradley and the fictional dark world of journalism? Here's everything we know about the new series...
The Morning Show season 4 release date
The 10-episode season will premiere globally on Apple TV Plus on Wednesday, September 17, with the first episode, followed by one episode weekly every Friday until November 19.
In the meantime, seasons 1 to 3 are available to stream on Apple TV Plus.
The Morning Show season 4 plot
The Morning Show season 4 opens in spring 2024, almost two years after the events of The Morning Show season 3.
With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives, and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America.
The latest updates, reviews and unmissable series to watch and more!
With two major companies coming together, projects and roles will double up. Will we see intense competition arise between anchors and producers between companies? Whose jobs are at stake?
In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories, and corporate cover-ups, who can you trust? And how can you know what’s actually real?
Fans will also remember that Bradley's future in the network was left hanging in the air at the end of the last season after she handed herself in to the FBI, and new images show her out for a meal with Mark Duplass's Chip Black, the Morning Show's on-again, off-again producer.
In an interview in July 2025 with People, Jennifer Aniston hinted at a “complicated” season. “The Morning Show is just a beast to film. It is layered, it’s complicated, it’s emotional, it hits on a lot of topics and current events, so let’s just say, it’s not Friends,” she joked.
The Morning Show season 4 cast
Alongside Jennifer Aniston as Alex and Reese Witherspoon as Bradley, the upcoming fourth season features the celebrated ensemble, including Billy Crudup (Cory), Mark Duplass (Chip), Nestor Carbonell (Yanko), Karen Pittman (Mia), Greta Lee (Stella), and Nicole Beharie (Chris). Aaron Pierre, Boyd Holbrook, and Jon Hamm also star.
Marion Cotillard (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises) will play savvy operator Celine Dumont, while William Jackson Harper (The Good Place) has joined the cast as the new Head of Sports, Ben.
Jeremy Irons (The Borgias) has also joined the cast as Alex's father, with a first-look image showing him delivering a lecture on a theme which has caused quite a few issues for the show's fictitious network.
Is there a trailer for The Morning Show season 4?
We are still waiting for a full trailer, but there is a teaser trailer to enjoy while we wait. You can watch it below...

After learning some tricks of the trade at websites Digital Spy, Entertainment Daily, and Woman & Home, Claire landed a role at What’s On TV and whattowatch.com writing about all things TV and film, with a particular love for Aussie soaps, Strictly Come Dancing and Bake Off.
She’s interviewed everyone from June Brown — AKA Dot Cotton — to Michelle Keegan, swapped cooking tips with baking legend Mary Berry backstage at the NTAs, and danced the night away with soap stars at countless awards bashes.
