The fate of the universe is on the line in The Morning Show season two, according to Billy Crudup’s Cory Ellison. That might be a bit hyperbole, but the official season two trailer for the Apple TV Plus original series certainly teases a season full of juicy storylines fans will be able to sink their teeth into when the show returns on Sept. 17.
The Morning Show, Apple TV Plus’ award-winning drama series, follows a daily morning show and its staff following the exit of one of its long-time hosts, Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell), after a sexual harassment scandal. His former co-host, Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston), must now adjust to the new reality and a new co-host, Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon).
The events of season two will pick up after season one’s finale when Alex and Bradley revealed live on national television the extent of corruption and abuse at the show’s network, UBA, and Alex not shying away from her own responsibility in those things. The new season will see how things are changing (or attempting to change) at UBA, some real-life inspired storylines and deal with the idea of how we present ourselves and how we really are.
In addition to Aniston, Witherspoon (both of whom serve as executive producers) and Carrell, The Morning Show cast includes Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Bel Powley, Desean Terry, Janina Gavankar, Tom Irwin and Marcia Gay Harden. New additions to the cast include Greta Lee, Ruairi O’Connor, Hasan Minhaj, Holland Taylor, Tara Karsian, Valeria Golino and Julianna Marguiles. Kerry Ehrin is The Morning Show showrunner.
