Apple TV on Thursday unveiled the trailer for the highly anticipated fourth season of its Emmy Award-winning drama The Morning Show. Starring and executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, alongside showrunner and executive producer Charlotte Stoudt and director and executive producer Mimi Leder, The Morning Show returns for season 4 on September 17 with the first episode, followed by one episode weekly until November 19.

The Morning Show season 4 opens in spring 2024, almost two years after the events of season 3. With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized 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?

The trailer stars with Jennifer Aniston’s character Alex Levy leading UBA after the merger, calling it a “reset.” “A different company, a different culture.” But as we know like her, change doesn’t come easy. So she finds resistance from her women allies, including  and new entrant, Marion Cotillard, who calls the idea of “UBA having it first and having it right” a “nice idea, but not sexy.”

Meanwhile, Reese Witherspoon’s righteous journalist Bradley Jackson proposes to fellow ex-UBA employee, Mark Duplass’ Charlie Black, to work with her in order to expose a major crime cover-up by UBA. When Alex claims to shut the story down, Bradley questions if she doesn’t want the house “cleaned up.” To which, a helpless Alex responds, “You can’t clean a house if you’re about to blow it up!”

Also, Karen Pittman’s news producer Mia Jordan points out to Alex that UBA is no longer the “feminist utopia where women lift each other up,” as per the latter’s pitch. She even challenges Alex by proclaiming, “I know what I deserve, and it’s my time now.” Jon Hamm’s tech billionaire Paul Marks, who played Alex’s love interest and the chief antagonist in season 3, also pops up in front of her. So does Billy Cudrup’s ex-UBA chief Cory Ellison, admitting he misses the drama at his former company.

The star-studded ensemble also includes Nestor Carbonell, Greta Lee, and Nicole Beharie. It also welcomes Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper and Boyd Holbrook, and Academy Award winners Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons. The Morning Show is showrun and executive produced by Stoudt, and directed and executive produced by Leder.
