The Morning Show

Wed 17 Sept  

Apple TV+

Here we go. It’s season 4 for a show that essentially placed Apple TV+ on the map. You should know the score by now, but for late adopters, let’s have a refresh. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon star as the biggest news anchors in the game. It all seems pretty simple, apart from the fallout from a huge sexual harassment scandal, a pandemic, a suicide, hostile takeovers, constant editorial interference, and plenty of self-doubt. Throw in career-defining performances for both leads, and you’ve got a piece of must-see TV.

We catch up with the fictional TMS in spring 2024, almost two years after the events of last season. With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives, and the elusive nature of truth in an increasingly polarised America. 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?
