As much as we love This Morning with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, we never thought we’d be quite so gripped by a TV series that goes behind the scenes of a US morning talk show. So much for glitz and glamour… Apple TV’s The Morning Show series one and two revealed it’s all politics, back-stabbing and problematic relationships. And now, the trailer for the third season has dropped.

Back in September last year, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston were spotted filming scenes for the third series alongside none other than Mad Men’s Jon Hamm – joining the cast as Paul Marks. Paul is described as “a corporate titan who sets his sights on UBA” and will be directly involved with Alex and Bradley. Now, we have even more intel.

Here’s everything we know so far about the third season of The Morning Show…

What have we found out from the trailer for The Morning Show Series Three?

We see both Alex (Aniston) and Bradley (Witherspoon) grapple with the dramatic aftermath of season two, wondering if they'd succeeded in making the changes they'd hoped for on The Morning Show.

'I wanted to make a difference,' Bradley says, which to us says that some corporate move has snuffed out any moves she's made to report on the truth.

Alex seems to be fighting for her place at the top of the news company, while Jon Hamm's character Paul seems to be offering the show a 'lifeline'... But can he be trusted?

We're not really left any the wiser as to where Bradley's love life will take her... There's a lingering look between her and Laura – but we're still also left wondering what she'll do about Cory's love declaration.

Where and when can I watch The Morning Show Series Three in the UK?

Series one and two previously aired on Apple TV+, as will the third season, from Wednesday 13 September.

What is Series Three of the Morning Show About?

In November 2021, former showrunner Kerry Ehrin dropped a few hints about potential storylines that could be explored in series three stating that she believes the series will mark a big turning point for Alex.

Kerry revealed, “I definitely want to see more of Bradley and Laura," Kerry explained to the outlet. "I feel like Alex has come to a place for the first time since the pilot of accepting who she is and facing her worst fears, and I want to see how the phoenix rises from the ashes for her and learning how to have a full life and be present and loving."

Jennifer Aniston also spoke out about her hopes for series three and how she'd love to see her character experience romance. "I think it’s time to see Alex find some love and some passion. She could put the controls down and go into the vulnerability of opening up her heart, which I don’t think she’s ever really quite done."

Maybe Jon Hamm’s character Paul Marks will serve as a romantic interest for Jennifer’s character… Snaps of the two on set have shown them looking pretty cosy in a Porsche so fingers crossed!

Which cast members will be returning for The Morning Show Season Three?

Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston will be back as Bradley Jackson and Alex Levy and we can assume that Billy Crudup, who plays Cory Ellison, and Mark Duplass who plays Chip Black will be returning too.

Steve Carell will be unlikely to be making an appearance as the problematic Mitch after *spoiler alert* what happened in series two, but we might spot him if some flashbacks are on the cards.

What new cast members are joining The Morning Show Season Three?

As well as Jon Hamm, actor Tig Notaro, will be joining the cast as Amanda Robinson, Paul Marks’ chief of staff.

Also signed up to The Morning Show for series three are Stephen Fry, who is set to play Leonard Cromwell, a UBA board member who is attempting to get the company out of financial stress, and actress Nicole Beharie as Christina Hunter, an up-and-coming anchor on The Morning Show.
