Apple TV+ has renewed its global hit drama The Morning Show for a fifth season, timed with the premiere of season four on September 17, 2025. The decision highlights Apple’s commitment to the series, which has consistently been one of its most popular and talked-about originals since its debut in 2019. By securing a fifth season early, Apple signals confidence that the show will continue to attract audiences and remain a cultural touchpoint.
Starring and executive produced by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, The Morning Show blends behind-the-scenes newsroom drama with storylines that examine the complexities of truth, power, and accountability. It has earned multiple Emmy nominations and awards, cementing its place alongside other Apple TV+ prestige dramas such as Severance and Slow Horses. The series has often drawn comparisons to classic media dramas like The Newsroom but differentiates itself with timely arcs on corporate mergers, workplace dynamics, and the impact of new technology on journalism.
Season four, which began streaming today, picks up after the dramatic UBA-NBN merger. The season dives into the fallout from that consolidation and explores issues at the center of public discourse: deepfakes, conspiracy theories, and the manipulation of media in a polarized political environment. The writers continue to push the narrative into uncharted territory, emphasizing how modern technology blurs the line between truth and misinformation. This direction reflects real-world concerns, making the show as much social commentary as it is drama.
The cast remains one of the show’s strongest assets. Alongside Aniston and Witherspoon, viewers can expect to see Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, and Greta Lee reprise their roles. Season four also introduces new stars to the ensemble, including Academy Award winners Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons, as well as Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, and Boyd Holbrook. These additions bring fresh dynamics and potential conflicts that will shape the direction of the current season.
Apple’s decision to confirm season five before season four’s story fully unfolds demonstrates the streamer’s long-term confidence in the franchise. The Morning Show is one of the longest-running Apple TV+ series, joining the ranks of shows like Ted Lasso and For All Mankind as foundational to the service’s identity. While Apple TV+ has expanded its catalog to include global hits and genre-spanning originals, The Morning Show remains one of the clearest examples of its strategy to compete with rivals like Netflix, HBO, and Disney+.
For viewers interested in watching season four, The Morning Show is available exclusively on Apple TV+. Episodes can be streamed through the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV 4K, smart TVs, game consoles, and select streaming devices. Apple TV+ offers a seven-day free trial for new subscribers, after which the service is available at a monthly subscription fee. With season four episodes releasing weekly, fans will be able to follow the story as it unfolds and look forward to more in season five.
By renewing The Morning Show while season four is just beginning, Apple is reinforcing its commitment to serialized, character-driven storytelling that resonates with global audiences. The show’s ability to evolve its themes and cast ensures that it will remain relevant and engaging, continuing to anchor Apple TV+’s slate of original programming well into its fifth season.
