Apple TV has announced that The Morning Show will return for a fifth and final season in 2027, bringing one of the streamer’s first and flagship series to a planned conclusion.
The announcement comes as the first images for the season have been revealed after previous announcements of new stars Jeff Daniels, Reneé Rapp, Jesse Williams, Sean Hayes and Lizzy Caplan being added returning cast.
Jennifer Aniston said in a statement, “From the beginning, Apple has supported our vision for The Morning Show, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to tell stories that reflect what’s happening in the world around us with a twist of dark humor. Going in knowing it would be our last, we were so fortunate to craft the conclusion with intentionality, and honor these characters the way they deserve.”
Reese Witherspoon added, “The past nine years producing and acting in The Morning Show have been the honor of a lifetime. This was always more than a show about a newsroom — it was a show about why the newsroom matters. About freedom of the press, and the journalists who protect the fourth estate, often at great cost.”
Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt said, “For five seasons, these messy, resilient journalists have chased their dreams. Now we’ll see where their endeavors lead them — what story will they ultimately choose for themselves.”
Who stars in ‘The Morning Show’ Season 5?
Alongside Aniston and Witherspoon, the ensemble cast includes Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie and Jon Hamm.
What happened in ‘The Morning Show’ Season 4?

According to the official description, “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?” Season 4 also featured guest stars Aaron Pierre, William Jackson Harper, Boyd Holbrook, Marion Cotillard and Jeremy Irons.
The series is showrun and executive produced by Stoudt and directed and executive produced by Mimi Leder. Produced by Media Res, with Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter executive producing for Hello Sunshine and Aniston and Kristin Hahn executive producing through Echo Films.
