The Morning Show is about the world of morning news and revolves around Alex Levy (Aniston), who is one of the two hosts of the titular morning news programme. Her career is endangered when the show’s co-host Mitch Kessler (Steve Carrell) is fired amid sexual harassment allegations. She also faces competition from Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson, a field reporter.

The Morning Show Season 1, which premiered in November 2019, received mostly positive reviews, scoring 61 per cent on review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus read, “Though The Morning Show at times feels more like a vanity project than the hard-hitting drama it aspires to be, there is pleasure to be had in watching Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon give it their all.”
