The Morning Show Season 4: Release Date, Cast, Plot & Everything You Need to Know

The hit Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show — also known as Morning Wars in Australia and Indonesia — is officially returning for its highly anticipated Season 4 on September 17, 2025. Starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Billy Crudup, this Emmy-winning series has become one of the most talked-about dramas in streaming television, blending newsroom politics, personal rivalries, and cultural reckonings.

If you’ve been following the show since its explosive debut in 2019, you know The Morning Show doesn’t just report the news — it makes it. Now, the drama is set for a new chapter, and Apple TV+ promises: “It’s not just a return. It’s a reckoning.”

A Quick Recap: Seasons 1–3

Before diving into what’s next, let’s rewind:

Season 1 tackled the aftermath of a sexual misconduct scandal, inspired by the #MeToo movement. Aniston’s Alex Levy fought to keep her seat at the anchor desk, while Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson shook things up as a bold, truth-chasing reporter.
Season 2 unfolded amid the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring identity crises, power struggles, and the fragile state of live television.
Season 3 escalated the drama with corporate takeovers, streaming wars, and Jon Hamm’s tech titan Paul Marks, who nearly changed the fate of UBA forever.

Each season peeled back another layer of media culture, making the show not just timely but urgent.

The Morning Show Season 4: What’s New?

Season 4 opens in spring 2024, nearly two years after Season 3’s events. With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the stakes are higher than ever. Expect themes of:

Disinformation & Deepfakes – Who can you trust in a polarized America?
Conspiracy Theories & Cover-ups – Truth itself becomes a battleground.
Shifting Power Dynamics – Corporate mergers and newsroom politics collide.

It’s not just about who tells the news anymore — it’s about who controls the narrative.
