September 12th 2021: Friday sees the return of The Morning Show the big budget Apple TV Plus show about the drama around a fictional morning television show starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon and Steve Carell. The first season drama built until the season finale where the two female leads Alex (Jennifer Anniston) and Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) went on the air live to expose the sexual misconduct going on at the fiction UBA network.
The first season very much centered around a few characters but it looks like for the second season they have beefed up the cast with the addition of the always good Julianna Marguiles as well other characters played by Holland Taylor, Hassan Minaj and Greta Lee. From the trailer it looks like we are going to see less of Steve Carell although that could change later in the season. The Morning Show is well done and fun to watch although i don’t think it would be so compelling without its all star cast.
Available for streaming September 17th on Apple TV Plus
