The latest cast addition is Reneé Rapp, who will make her return to acting after a break following her role in HBO’s The Sex Lives of College Girls as Samantha, “a young rising star in the UBN news division determined to make it in media on her own terms.”

At the end of April, Apple revealed that Jeff Wilbusch (Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen) and Sydney Park (Scary Movie, Moxie) have been recruited to join the newsroom. Park will play Cory Ellison’s (Billy Crudup) new assistant, Leah. Wilbusch will recur as Roman, Head of Protective Services for the UBN News Division.

Who will return to The Morning Show Season 4?

Most of the ensemble in recent seasons will return from Aniston and Witherspoon to the Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie and Jon Hamm.

More below on why Greta Lee won’t be returning for Season 5. Aaron Pierre is also likely out as hinted by showrunner Charlotte Stoudt.

What is The Morning Show Season 5 about?

Not many plot details despite character descriptions for new cast have been revealed. Stoudt teased that a time would be likely between Seasons 4 and 5 as have been in breaks between installments in the past.

It will be interesting to see Jesse Williams’ Vernon enter the fray as the new Head of News, a position that has been somewhat cursed and was taken by William Jackson Harper’s Ben last season while Mia (Karen Pittman) had been vying for it for a long time. Stoudt teased that things would “get interesting between” Mia and Ben in Season 5.

“Oddly enough, a door is open that wasn’t open before, and Mia’s now thinking, ‘Well, gosh, maybe I wanted the wrong job. Maybe I wanted the big job after all,’” Stoudt told Deadline. “So I think that may be Stella’s strongest legacy, to sort of remind Mia what she might be capable of, and that she might be a much better fit for that job than Stella ever was.”

Season four of The Morning Show” took place in spring 2024, almost two years after the events of season three. All of the below plot summary took place before UBN headed to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France.

What happened in The Morning Show Season 4?

Season 4 concluded with Celine Dumont’s (Marion Cotillard) downfall in the finale after she was exposed for a deepfake of Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and other manipulative tactics to control the narrative at the now merged UBA and NBN — UBN.

The Head of News position went to Ben (William Jackson Harper), a Celine hire, which strained Mia and Stella’s (Greta Lee) friendship before Stella made a huge mistake with an AI program she was trying to develop. Thus, she left the CEO position open, and Celine took it over in addition to serving as president of the board at UBN.

Bradley (Reese Witherspoon) and Charlie “Chip” Black (Mark Duplass) investigated an environmental justice campaign with Bel Powley popping back in to make a brief appearance as Claire Conway. Yanko (Nestor Carbonnell) saw her, but he still proposed to his girlfriend.

Alex had a fling with manosphere podcaster Brodie “Bro” Hartman (Boyd Holbrook) while Bradley and Corey (Billy Crudup) finally got together, though that was short-lived. Alex got on a plane to rescue Bradley from a gulag in Belarus.

Who is behind The Morning Show Season 5?

The series, which hails from television studio Media Res, is showrun and executive produced by Charlotte Stoudt, and directed and executive produced by Mimi Leder.
