The Morning Show Season 5: What to Know About Apple TV+'s Next Chapter
If your group chat lit up after the season 4 finale, you're not alone. The show left a mess on the UBN newsroom floor - shock romances, boardroom chess, and an AI blowup that had everyone talking.
So, the big question: Is there more coming? Yes. Here's the quick version, then the details.
Need to know
- The Morning Show season 4 finale landed on Nov. 19 on Apple TV+
- Marion Cotillard (movies and tv series), Aaron Pierre (movies and tv series) and more joined the cast this season
- Greta Lee (movies and tv series) exited the series in season 4
Will there be a season 5?
Yes - season 5 is official. Apple announced the renewal in September 2025, ahead of season 4's premiere.
In Apple's statement, programming head Matt Cherniss called the series a standout and said it keeps delivering "addictively entertaining and provocative stories." If you want the formal language straight from the source, the announcement is here: Apple TV+ press release.
When will season 5 premiere?
No date yet. But the show has followed a steady rhythm since 2019: new seasons roughly every two years. Season 4 arrived in September 2025, which points to a likely 2027 release for season 5.
Each of the first four seasons ran 10 episodes. Expect a similar count unless Apple says otherwise.
Who's likely to return?
Apple hasn't confirmed the lineup, but Jennifer Aniston (Alex Levy) and Reese Witherspoon (Bradley Jackson) are the faces and executive producers of the series - plan on seeing them back.
Regulars include Billy Crudup (movies and tv series), Mark Duplass (movies and tv series), Karen Pittman and Nestor Carbonell. Season 4 expanded the ensemble with Marion Cotillard, Aaron Pierre, Boyd Holbrook (movies and tv series), William Jackson Harper (movies and tv series) and Jeremy Irons (movies and tv series).
Greta Lee, who joined in season 2 as Stella Bak, said goodbye in season 4. She spoke warmly about the team this fall, saying, "These people are like family. We've been through so much." On working with Aniston and Witherspoon? "They're both beasts." And her first-day advice from Witherspoon has lived rent-free in fans' heads: "It's like being dropped on a treadmill that's set to a level 10. You better start running."
Where to watch (or rewatch)
All four seasons are streaming on Apple TV+: The Morning Show on Apple TV+.
What season 5 could explore
Season 4 pushed the newsroom into messy territory - an AI fiasco tied to Stella, shifting alliances, and big questions about trust on and off camera. Season 5 has room to dig into the fallout, especially for leadership at UBN and the anchors who keep getting pulled into corporate firestorms.
And look, this show loves timely pressure points. Tech, ethics, power - they're all in play. We'll update as soon as Apple sets a timeline. Until then, it's a good time to catch up and clock the moves that might matter next.
One more thing
Aniston summed up the workload earlier this year: "We're involved in every single aspect of the show, on top of just the performance side." That hands-on approach is part of why the series still feels charged four seasons in. Season 5 has a high bar - and the audience is very ready.
