The Morning Show Heads to Season 5: Major Cast Changes Announced

Apple TV's acclaimed drama series The Morning Show is moving forward with a fifth season, having secured an early renewal last fall ahead of season four's premiere on the platform.

The show explores the inner workings of a major news network, with the most recent season set in spring 2024, roughly two years following the events of season three. The narrative centers on the aftermath of a UBA-NBN merger, forcing the newsroom to navigate new responsibilities, conflicting agendas, and the challenge of establishing truth in a divided nation. The season examines timely themes including deepfakes, conspiracy theories, and corporate secrecy.

Production on the upcoming season is well underway, having commenced in mid-March.

The casting landscape for season five includes notable shifts in the ensemble. Two established cast members are departing the series, while ten actors from the previous season have committed to returning. Additionally, seven new performers have been brought on to fill fresh roles within the narrative.

More details on specific cast assignments are expected to emerge as production continues.
