Apple has released a full-length, thoroughly satisfying trailer for its highly anticipated new drama series, The Morning Show. And it looks like another addition to streaming TV's latest golden hit shows.
Here's all you need to know about this new Apple TV+ flagship.
A star-filled drama
Starring in the show are Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, andSteve Carell, among other impressive names. This marks Jennifer Aniston and Steve Carell's return to televisionafter Friendsand The Officeended, respectively. Both Aniston and Witherspoon executive produce,giving the latter what seems like another hit (at least in terms of quality) following her role producing and starring in HBO's critically acclaimed Big Little Lies.
The rest of the cast includes Jack Davenport, Karen Pittman, Nestor Carbonell, Mark Duplass, Billy Crudup, Bel Powley, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Janina Gavankar, and Desean K. Terry. Mimi Leder will be directing, and Kerry Ehrin (Bates Motel) serves as the showrunner.

Into the dark alleys behind morning television
The show was the focus of a tense bidding war among many worthy networks before Apple picked it up in November 2017. As things stand now, Apple's idea is to produce two 20-episode seasons and see how it goes from there. As its name suggests, The Morning Show will look inside the chaotic, backstabbing lives of the people involved in a seemingly harmless morning show, based on Brian Shelter's book, Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV.
This isone of Apple's first originals. Back in 2017, the company announced that it would be spending over $1 billion on the original content for the launch of its anticipated streaming service,Apple TV+—which will be available this fall. Other than The Morning Show, its upcoming originals include Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories, Oprah's docuseries, J.J. Abrahams' Little Voice, and Truth Be Told(starring Octavia Spencer), among many others.
