Ambition paired with jealousy can be a dangerous cocktail. Especially when gender expectations are thrown into the mix.
Prestige offerings, from “Fair Play” and “Oppenheimer” to “Past Lives” and “Lessons in Chemistry,” have mined that tricky terrain this year. “Maestro” and the latest seasons of female-led “Julia” and “The Morning Show” have tackled it as well.
And while men suffer the slings and arrows of jealousy in several high-profile Oscar contenders, women arguably experience more fallout from it than their male counterparts. This goes for female characters who are ambitious themselves or those partnered with men who suck all the air out of the room, as in “Oppenheimer” and “Maestro.”

If you’ve turned on a television in 2023, there’s a good chance you’ve encountered a male tech billionaire with a penchant for breaking the rules. On “Succession,” there was Lukas Matsson (Alexander Skarsgård), the Swedish maverick who rendered the titular question moot by swallowing Waystar Royco whole. “The Morning Show” featured Paul Marks (Jon Hamm), the aerospace magnate who flirted with both Jennifer Aniston’s Alex Levy and acquiring her employer. FX’s “A Murder at the End of the World” included Andy Ronson (Clive Owen), the mysterious genius whose Icelandic retreat takes a deadly turn.
All these characters are composites, with elements of multiple real-life oligarchs with an outsized influence on world affairs. Matsson has shades of Daniel Ek, Scandinavia’s most famous entrepreneur and the fellow proprietor of a streaming service; Marks using a morning show to promote his privately run rocket launch directly invokes Michael Strahan...

“Having [director Mimi Leder] there, you’re protected. I never felt uncomfortable,” Jennifer told Variety. “Jon was such a gentleman, always — I mean every move, every cut, ‘You Ok?’ It was also very choreographed.

With The Morning Show named today as one of the AFI Awards’ 2023 honorees for television program of the year, the question arises, how will the Apple TV+ show possibly up the ante for Season 4?
Will Bradley be in jail ? Will Alex be running everything? And will Cory finally give up and go home to his mom to sing another round of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”? With the FBI, a company merger, and a sociopathic businessman (Jon Hamm) in the mix at the close of Season 3, it seems there’s everything to play for next season.
“Everybody keeps asking me if Bradley’s in jail,” Reese Witherspoon said during a press conference moderated by Deadline on Thursday, “but I don’t know if I’m in trouble.”
“But you’ve tried on jumpsuits, right?” executive producer Michael Ellenberg said.
“Did you decide on a shade of orange?” Jennifer Aniston joked.

The Morning Show wrapped its third season Nov. 8 — a moment showrunner and executive producer Charlotte Stoudt admits was an emotional one for members of the creative team, who gathered to watch the season finale at Hollywood’s Linwood Dunn Theater. “It’s really thrilling to watch the show with an audience,” said Stoudt. “It’s not the finale until people see it. I’m all choked up.”
Stoudt — who boarded the Apple TV+ drama starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon as anchors Alex Levy and Bradley Jackson, respectively, for its most recent season — was joined after the screening by nine of the show’s executive producers and artisans to reflect on pushing the show’s characters into more vulnerable territory and the joys of working with the talented A-list actors they have at their disposal.

“I still wake up with a lot of fear and that hasn’t changed, no matter how well you know your craft,” declares Mimi Leder about what has and hasn’t changed over the years since her early days as director on TV classics “China Beach” and her Emmy-winning work on “ER.” For our recent webchat she adds, “it’s a very motivating factor. I guess having worked so long in television and so many different genres, it gives you quite a bit of confidence.” We talked with Leder as part of Gold Derby’s special “Meet the Experts” Q&a event with 2023/2024 awards contenders.

Note: The following story contains spoilers from “The Morning Show” Season 3 finale.
Even Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup), the king of chaos theory, couldn’t have predicted the rollercoaster “Morning Show” Season 3 finale. Many moves were made, both solid and uncertain, by Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston), Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon), Laura Peterson (Julianna Margulies) and Paul Marks (Jon Hamm).
Turns out Bradley was right about Paul Marks, even before he confirmed her suspicions by attempting to silence her on air by threatening to out her big bad secret. He even knew that Laura had searched the hack database to discover that Bradley covered up her brother’s assault of a police officer at the Capitol and that she didn’t report the integrity-compromising news. After Cory tried to convince Bradley that Paul leaked the piece in the Vault that cast Cory as Bradley’s groomer, she figured out that Paul had her surveilled,...

[Editor's Note: This post contains spoilers for The Morning Show Season 3 finale, "The Overview Effect."]
Since its debut in 2019, The Morning Show has been drawn to cliffhangers like a moth to a flame, but the Season 3 finale takes a different approach, instead opting for something that looks a whole lot like closure. "The Overview Effect" isn't a series finale — Apple TV+ renewed The Morning Show for Season 4 in late April, shortly after filming wrapped — but with its kumbaya energy and tidy resolutions, it certainly feels like one, particularly where Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) are concerned.

This article contains spoilers for The Morning Show season 3 episode 9.
If you’ve been watching The Morning Show in the past two months, you already know that season 3 is a trip. But if you haven’t, you might want to start. Although the series began four years ago as a sort of prestige drama, attempting to tackle serious issues like the #MeToo movement and cancel culture, by season number three, it’s pretty much left those ambitions behind to embrace its soapy and sensational nature for maximum effect. And one of the wildest twists of this season — and trust me, there’s a plethora of them — comes even before things totally go off the rails and blow up in an uproarious finale.
The biggest guest star the series got to join its regular cast this year is Jon Hamm, playing tech-billionaire Paul Marks, among other newcomers like Nicole Beharie and Tig Notaro.

Leave it to Jon Hamm to charm The Morning Show viewers into thinking a cruel billionaire could actually bring out the best in embattled Uba anchor Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston). Since their first hookup in Season 3, Episode 6, "The Stanford Student," Alex's relationship with tech titan Paul Marks (Hamm) has injected a dose of sexiness into a show that derives the bulk of its drama from real-life horrors. Their mutual attraction quickly turns into something more serious, as the two open up about their failed marriages and the excitement of finding a true partner in a fellow "divorced, workaholic, control freak."...

Picking up from exactly where they left off last week, Apple TV’s The Morning Show returns with a deliciously dramatic, extremely eventual penultimate episode of the season, which sets up the course for an explosive finale. Filled with nail-biting tension, a lot of scheming and screaming, the surprise return of an old face, and Cory Ellison understandably losing his marbles, this episode is basically everything The Morning Show fans love to see in the show. Let us take a closer look.

Of course she does, which is not surprising at all. It doesn’t happen right away, though.

Wade got overturned, Cory goes for Alex Levy’s (Jennifer Aniston) jugular in this Episode 8 clip from the Apple TV+ drama series.
“You never cease to surprise me, Alex, you are on the verge of getting everything you ever wanted out of this place, power in your own right and you choose instead to be the girlfriend, that plus one,” Cory says in a confrontation with Alex in her office. “And that’s not me talking, that is sadly the patriarchal cesspool that we live in.

Cory’s mother, played by Lindsay Duncan, is a firebrand in her own right, and Cory pays her a rare personal visit in hopes of curbing her political influence with the DOJ to his advantage amid the potential sale of their network, Uba, to billionaire tech titan Paul Marks (Jon Hamm).

And following last week’s 2020 flashback reveal that Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson buried evidence around the Jan. 6 insurrection, the sixth episode in the media drama placed Aniston’s Alex Levy in the hot seat as she decides to blur ethical lines — once again — when it comes to her personal relationships.

Jon Hamm’s Paul Marks, who burst into “The Morning Show” scene in Season 3, wasn’t inspired by just one tech mogul or finance billionaire, but he is certainly “an amalgamation” of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and other figures, according to executive producer Michael Ellenberg.
Marks — whom Cory Ellison (Billy Cruddup) courted professionally for a network-saving deal in which Marks acquires Uba — ranges from Jeff Bezos-level wealth and power, with his Hyperion One rocket and other space exploration endeavors (like Bezos’ Blue Origin), to Elon Musk-level shrewdness and tech surveillance background.
Ellenberg sees past the black and white into the gray area surrounding Marks, especially in Episode 6 when some dirt about him resurfaces as Alex (Jennifer Aniston) plans to interview him on her streaming series “Alex Unfiltered.”
“There’s no shortage of tech and finance billionaires who are taking swings inside traditional media, streaming, social media, etc.,” Ellenberg told TheWrap.

Oh, Alex.

But then Paul Marks happens.

Subtlety is not a quality I’d associate with Apple TV’s The Morning Show. I never had a complaint about that, as the show works thanks to its hyper-melodrama, but when you are handling a story about credit stealing that led to a suicide attempt, some amount of sensitivity is probably needed. Not that the latest episode is any less entertaining than usual, but the approach it takes with this story doesn’t sit right with me. However, that’s just a personal opinion, and a recap article is not exactly the place to share my own viewpoints. But since I am doing it already, I should also mention that it is really frustrating to see this show continuing to portray Alex Levy as this messiah in the current season, and The Morning Show Episode 6 was no exception, sadly.

Co-produced by Michael Ellenberg’s Media Res and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, the drama series promises new frontiers for the harrowed Uba news network, which has struggled from the stains of its past with Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) and the toxic culture he promoted.

One new face is tech titan Paul Marks (Jon Hamm), who promises all kinds of shakeups and challenges for Uba.

Mark Duplass’ Chip Black, Nestor Carbonell’s Yanko Flores, Greta Lee’s Stella Bak and other staple characters at Uba will experience their own microcosmic shifts as a result of Ellison’s bromance with Paul Marks.

I am not on the Alex Levy train.
That isn’t to say that I’m not devouring Apple’s utterly unhinged and bafflingly self-absorbed “The Morning Show,” which returned for its third season on September 13, but once again this show expects viewers to accept without question that Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) is America’s sweetheart — a once-in-a-generation talent and personality, and the axis upon which this show’s world turns.
Like I said, I’m not buying it.
This is not about Aniston. In fact, I’m pretty sure Aniston is the only reason “The Morning Show” viewers are being force fed the Alex Levy agenda season-after-season. Aniston very much is an American sweetheart (as is her costar Reese Witherspoon), beloved for her decade as Rachel Green on “Friends,” a successful movie career, and those Aveeno ads. Aniston and Steve Carell’s return to television was a major hook...

The latest episode of “The Morning Show” packed a topical conversation about systemic racism in media into one of its classic showdowns. In the aftermath of a companywide data leak, the Apple TV+ drama saw Uba Board President Cybil Richards (Holland Taylor) and “Morning Show” anchor Christina Hunter (Nicole Beharie) go on air together to discuss disparaging comments the media executive made during the former Olympian’s hiring process in a now-public email.
Executive producer Mimi Leder — who directed the first two episodes, the sixth and the finale of the most recent season — said Season 3 examines the layers of racism, ageism and politics impacting the legacy media business through Uba’s struggles. These pressure points reach a peak when the value of diversity in the Uba newsroom and network come into question following the cyber attack into the system in Episode 3.
“We introduced a new character, Chris Hunter. She’s an Olympic gold medalist.

It’s funny that after the ugliness of Uba’s history got out, Cory wanted to refocus on doing the news, not being the news.
On The Morning Show Season 3 Episode 1, being the news was right up there on his list, as they had an entire media blitz surrounding sending someone into orbit on a formerly untested manned rocket.
As they say, be careful what you wish for because you might just get it.
What happened on the aptly titled "White Noise" was different, though.
After Uba’s data was breached and the studio was effectively held hostage for a short time, revelations began circling amongst the staff. It was only a matter of time before it got outside of Uba.
These weren’t just any accusations, either. It was highly probable, if perhaps not provable by legal definitions, that decisions were made based on race, and the results weren’t pretty.

Imagine your white company head making a casually racist comment about you that questions both your ability and credibility for the job you do, and you get the opportunity to confront them about it in front of the whole world! Something this picture perfect probably wouldn’t happen that easily in our world, but in the world of The Morning Show, things like this do happen. The show often takes a stance regarding certain issues, and it is always very clear about them. Sure, The Morning Show thrives on drama, and the latest episode in particular is a profound example of that, but the drama that happens at Uba is why we love watching this show, right?

When Apple TV+ first launched, one of its marquee shows was undoubtedly "The Morning Show." Starring Steve Carell, Jennifer Aniston, and Reese Witherspoon as the anchors of a popular morning talk show in trouble, it quickly gained notice for its star-studded cast as much as for its deliberate parallels to the upheavals in real-life broadcast journalism of the time.
Over the seasons, the series has become less directly based on real-life events, but echoes of familiar stories still remain.
Is "The Morning Show" Based on a True Story?
When the first season of "The Morning Show" debuted in 2019, it centered on a badly behaved, popular man anchor on a beloved morning show, which seemed almost ripped from the headlines. Mitch Kessler, the fictional anchor in hot water (played by Carell), is at the center of a sexual misconduct scandal, including the discovery of a remote "close door" button under his office desk.

When The Morning Show returns, it’s two years after the events of the season two finale.
The timeline of the Jennifer Aniston- and Reese Witherspoon-starring Apple TV+ media drama had ended in March of 2020 with a no-filter, live broadcast from Covid-positive anchor Alex Levy (Aniston), who told her viewers to “stay safe and stay sane” as the country was unknowingly on the cusp of lockdown. Network boss Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup) had just confessed his love to anchor Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon), whose girlfriend, Laura Peterson (Julianna Margulies), escaped to Montana; and the crew of the series’ The Morning Show was preparing to deliver the news remotely amid the looming pandemic.

Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from the first two episodes of The Morning Show Season 3.
It’s been two years — in real life and in the Apple TV+ series — since Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) signed off of The Morning Show from her living room, encouraging viewers to “stay safe and stay sane” in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic.
Season 3 of the Apple TV+ series debuted Wednesday, and Uba is back up and running. But who knows for how long. Over the past two seasons, Alex has weathered quite a few storms. It all started with the sexual misconduct allegations against co-anchor Mitch Kessler (Steve Carrell). Then, his sudden death. She also survived being canceled after her own actions, or lack thereof, came to light in relation to Mitch’s misconduct. And to top it all off, she contracts Covid. Her only constant? Work.

That's a lot to digest, and much like The Morning Show Season 2 came out swinging after Covid by including it in their story, The Morning Show Season 3 is taking on some of the biggest stories of the day, even if, for now, they're only touched upon lightly.
A lot has changed in the wake of Covid for Uba. After Alex Levy shared her bout with Covid with a worldwide audience, her popularity has risen to new heights.
While she's basking in parting ways with the berth that made her famous and allowing herself a little more sleep in the morning, not everyone is pleased with her ascension to almost god-like status at the network and with the audience.
Cory needed the assist with his push for Uba+, and while it's not an outright success, it wouldn't have been a contender without Alex.

“We should do the news, not be the news,” declares Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup), the CEO and Machiavellian master of damage control at the fictional Uba network. Does he even know what show he’s on? So many scandalous shoes drop in the blistering third season of The Morning Show, the slick drama about a TV fishbowl that helped launch Apple TV+, you may wonder why they don’t just read the headlines barefoot. Evening anchor Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) harbors a designer’s closet full of personal and ethical secrets with the ability to wreck several careers. Her former morning-show partner Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) has moved on from her rivalry with her costar and is now the glamorous face of the network and its streaming division. She has the power to decide Uba’s fate in her dealings, possibly amorous, with the Elon Musk–like billionaire Paul Marks...

When did television travel through the looking glass? The simple answer would be when streaming hit, as the great tech disruptors combined a cavalier attitude toward content creation with obscene sums of money. Where once golden age programs would live and die based on ratings, reviews, and awards — “Mad Men,” for instance, thrived for seven seasons despite never cresting 3 million viewers, thanks to writers’ infatuation and dozens of little gold men — now, those benchmarks are virtually meaningless. No one can succinctly define a hit show, let alone agree on aggregate critical appraisal or the value of all those trophies.
“The Morning Show,” Apple’s inaugural drama with dreams of across-the-board success, embodies the culture shift with its infamous and/or trademark omniscience. Incredible public relations work (and a few critical allies) shifted the initial assessment from mediocre mess to an Emmy-worthy late-bloomer. Ratings were kept under wraps (a policy Apple...

The Morning Show is finally back in all its glory for its third season. The Apple TV+ original series revolves around the battle between a veteran news anchor and a new talented face trying to gain supremacy over one another in the morning television industry in America. The series also focuses on issues like workplace sexual harassment.
The Morning Show initially premiered in 2019, as one of the first Apple TV+ originals. The series was a very expensive takeover for Apple TV+ but they had trust in the series and renewed it for the second season which concluded its run in November 2021, and after two years it’s finally back for its third season.

Apple TV’s The Morning Show, despite boasting a cast full of popular names from Jennifer Aniston to Reese Witherspoon to Steve Carell and now John Hamm, is never really considered to be a great show. The show does have a dedicated fan base, and it has received some love from The Emmys over the course of its first two seasons, mainly thanks to its star Billy Crudup picking up an “an outstanding supporting actor” trophy for his fantastic turn as Cory Ellison. But when people talk about the best TV shows, they do not consider The Morning Show at par with Succession, Better Call Saul, or House of The Dragon. That might just change after Season 3 Episode 2, which I would say is the greatest episode of the entire show and one of the best hours of television of the year 2023.

Note: This story contains spoilers from the first two episodes of “The Morning Show” Season 3.
Season 3 of “The Morning Show” premiered Wednesday, Sept. 13 with two episodes launching on Apple TV+. Dynamic duo Alex Levy (Jennifer Anniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) returned, but not exactly in the same roles as they were at the end of Season 2. The new episodes jumped forward in time to March 10, 2022 — about two years since we last saw the characters, with Alex fighting through Covid in front of the cameras during the early days of the pandemic in 2020.
Bradley has taken on the Evening News chair, which she coveted back when Eric Nomani (Hasan Minhaj) rose up in the ranks to helm the hard-hitting political coverage at Uba. Alex found new fame with “Alex Unfiltered,” her Emmy Award-winning special which stemmed from Chip’s idea to broadcast her live battle with Covid across the airwaves.

We now know the pandemic was just the beginning of the collective trauma the world has gone through these past few years. The chum bucket of issues that have politicized and weaponized humans against one another since 2020 often feels bottomless. Now, “The Morning Show” is here to recapture many of those harrowing moments with a third season that refuses to come up for air.
When Season 2 went dark, Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) had just been diagnosed with Covid. Her producer Chip Black (Mark Duplass) faked a positive test result to quarantine with her and film it all for Uba’s new streaming service. It was just the thing Alex needed to be “uncanceled” after the world learned she had slept with Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell).

The strange thing about Apple TV’s The Morning Show is that, despite having a great cast and the status of prestige television, the show often relies on cheap parlor tricks to enthrall the audience. And the strange thing is, somehow, it always works out. For example, the latest episode, which also happens to be the return of the fan-favorite show, literally sends one of our lead characters to space, only to abruptly cut her off from the live feed and close the curtains. The show is still as fun as it used to be, even though you do get the feeling that a lot has changed. In the case of Tms (please allow me to use the abbreviation from now on), the change seems to be a sign of evolution.

Our favorite screaming match is back for another round. We are talking about The Morning Show, arguably Apple TV’s biggest show in terms of both prestige and boasting big names. The Jennifer Aniston-Reese Witherspoon starrer was pretty much a runway success from the start, thanks to all the high-pitched character drama between its two lead stars and everyone else as well.
Almost two years after the second season aired, The Morning Show is back for its third season. This time, it is sort of the need of the hour for the people who have a thing for the “people just talking loudly and that’s all we need” genre.

In the eight years since “Mad Men” aired its final episode and Jon Hamm was awarded his only Primetime Emmy as the series’ star, the actor has gone unnoticed by the TV academy despite having frequently flexed both his dramatic and comedic performing skills on more than two dozen programs. Given the 12-time acting nominee’s level of productivity, there is practically no way this drought will last forever, especially considering the banner year he is about to have. Before starting his stint as a fifth season regular on the FX anthology series “Fargo,” Hamm will play a supporting role on Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” that could end up putting him in the Emmys record book.
Hamm has joined the star-studded cast of “The Morning Show” for its third season, which is set to begin streaming in mid-September. Not much is yet known about his new character, Paul Marks,...

Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are two of Hollywood’s biggest stars. They first acted together as sisters in Friends, and The Morning Show reunited them as co-leading ladies. Aniston and Witherspoon are TV Insider Magazine’s cover stars for the September 2023 issue (see below), which details everything you’ve been dying to know about The Morning Show Season 3, including exclusive intel about Jon Hamm‘s new character, the details of which have been kept secret until now. The Morning Show Season 3 is “juicier and sexier” than ever, executive producer/director Mimi Leder told TV Insider for the cover story. And the new episodes will see Aniston’s Alex Levy and Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson hitting new career heights with separate ventures at Uba. The co-anchors will still be involved in the titular morning news program, but their roles are going to look much different with their new gigs and colleagues new and old.

Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) return to fictional TV network Uba in new roles in The Morning Show Season 3. Premiering Wednesday, September 13, on Apple TV+, the drama’s new installment finds Alex hitting big with Alex Unfiltered, her solo show created during her rough bout with Covid. Also riding solo in the episode is Bradley, who’s now anchoring the nightly news and is getting award recognition for her efforts. Network news anchors juggling multiple gigs is one of the many ways The Morning Show pulls from its real-life inspirations. Robin Roberts, for example, has been one of ABC‘s most recognizable faces for decades thanks to her work as co-anchor of Good Morning America and her contributions to World News Tonight, 20/20, and ESPN (part of the ABC umbrella). Over at NBC, Al Roker serves as weatherman and feature anchor for Today in addition to co-hosting Today‘s third hour.

“The show is much juicier and sexier than it’s ever been,” promises executive producer and director Mimi Leder of the third installment of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show, about the on- and off-camera drama at a national rise-and-shine broadcast news program. That’s no small claim. From its first moments, The Morning Show—the series that helped make Apple TV+’s reputation as a streamer—has shocked and captivated. In its explosive 2019 debut season, popular Tms coanchor Alex Levy’s (Jennifer Aniston) longtime on-air partner Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) was exposed for sexual harassment and replaced by ambitious and impulsive plucked-from-obscurity field reporter Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon). The women eventually bonded, using their power to reveal the wider toxic culture of their employer, the Uba network, now led by egomaniac CEO Cory Ellison (Billy Crudup).

The first moments of The Morning Show’s season three trailer look like office politics as usual, with Jennifer Aniston’s Alex Levy and Billy Crudup’s Cory Ellison arguing over what’s apparently an “unprecedented” ask from Alex.
Things take a turn, however, when Uba gets hacked, setting up what looks to be the central crisis for the drama’s coming season, which premieres Sept. 13. While Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) announces the cyberattack on the air, everyone worries about what secrets will come out in its aftermath — and the potential “financial disaster,” as Cory puts it, that could accompany it.
Enter Jon Hamm’s Paul Marks. The Mad Men star will play a tech mogul whose money can help keep Uba solvent but will likely come with strings attached. He also seems to have a past with Alex that raises a few eyebrows within the network.

Apple TV+ released the first trailer for “The Morning Show” Season 3 Thursday, and the stakes have risen even higher for Uba and its employees.
Starring and executive produced by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, the 10-episode third season of the drama series is set to premiere globally on Wednesday, Sept. 13 with the first two episodes, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through Nov. 8.
Alex Levy (Jennifer Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Reese Witherspoon) have gone their separate ways within the network, with Bradley helming evening news and Alex gunning for even more control of her future and the fate of the news channel.
“I’m all over this network,” Alex says at the beginning of the trailer. “I need to have a say in the future of this place.”
