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.
Season four of The Morning Show opens in spring 2024, almost two years after the events of season three. With the UBA-NBN merger complete, the newsroom must grapple with newfound responsibility, hidden motives, and the elusive nature of truth in a polarized America. In a world rife with deepfakes, conspiracy theories, and corporate cover-ups - who can you trust? And how can you know what's actually real? 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.
