Apple TV+ revealed a first look at the highly anticipated fourth season of The Morning Show, the award-winning and global hit drama 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 10-episode fourth season will premiere globally on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 with the first episode, followed by one episode weekly until November 19, 2025.

Along with Aniston and Witherspoon, the star-studded season four ensemble cast includes Billy Crudup, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie, Nestor Carbonell, Mark Duplass, Greta Lee, Marion Cotillard, Jeremy Irons, Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, Boyd Holbrook, and returning fan-favorite Jon Hamm.
