How Did We Leave ‘The Morning Show’?
Season 3 ofThe Morning Showleft nothing on the table. UBA anchors Alex Levy (Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon) teamed up to thwart adevious move by Paul Marks (Jon Hamm), a charming yet sneaky tech billionaire. While romancing Alex, Paul was busy hiding flaws in his rocket program from the public and plotting to dismantle UBA for parts. Meanwhile, Bradley was wrestling with her own demons, having illegally deleted footage of her brother clashing with a cop during the insurrection at the Capitol.
After a fierce showdown with her sometimes-girlfriend Laura (Julianna Margulies) and clearing her boss Cory (Billy Crudup) of false harassment charges, Bradley decided to come clean and submit to an investigation. In the midst of all this, Chip (Mark Duplass) broke down on air, while Stella (Greta Lee) played detective to help unearth the dirt on Paul. The crescendo of scandal culminated in a dramatic finale, with Alex publicly denouncing Paul and UBA narrowly escaping disintegration by merging with a rival network.
As Season 4 looms, the stakes are even higher. Diving into the murky waters of DeepFakes and AI, the series is set to explore the terrifying potential of technology to warp reality itself. In a world where seeing is no longer believing, the characters ofThe Morning Showmust navigate a labyrinth of lies and half-truths.
The first three seasons ofThe Morning Showare currently streaming globally on Apple TV+. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates onThe Morning Showand other exciting projects from Apple TV+.
