Who is in the cast of The Morning Show
Jennifer Aniston plays Alex Levy, a popular TV show host who struggles to maintain her spot at the top of her game after her partner of 15 years, Mitch Kessler, is fired following a sexual misconduct scandal. Speaking about her role, Jennifer said: "My character has a lot of rage. I have meltdowns, which were really fun to do because as a rule I just don’t do that in my personal life."

Reese Witherspoon plays Bradley Jackson, an ambitious journalist who is determined to take Alex's place on the show. Chatting on the Graham Norton Show, she joked: "I had meltdowns a lot, but mine were very close to the surface. I have three kids!" The Office star Steve Carrell plays the disgraced presenter, Mitch, while Doctor Who's Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays Hannah Shoenfeld, and Pirates of the Caribbean actor Jack Davenport stars as Jason Craig.
Jennifer and Reese also served as executive producers, and Jennifer opened up about working behind-the-scenes. She said: "We were very hands-on. It was very different to the last time I was on television. This was like a film schedule. It was such hard work, but so much fun."

Will there be a season two of The Morning Show?
Lucky for fans of the show, Apple already ordered a second season of the show way back in 2017! Although the plot has yet to be revealed, Jennifer opened up about what to expect following real-life accusations about NBC host Matt Lauer, who fans have compared to Steve Carell's character. Chatting to People at the NYC premiere of the show, Jennifer said: "We’re just now sort of figuring out what that looks like, because it’s not such an easy thing. Everybody has kind of had to step back, take a break, refocus, and now we will start those conversations.
