Reese Witherspoon was very emotional when she found out that production on The Morning Show will be finishing up soon.
Reese Witherspoon, age 50, and Jennifer Aniston, 57, both posted heartfelt messages shortly after Apple announced the show would conclude after its fifth season, which finished filming Wednesday night.
The show’s fifth and last season is scheduled to arrive in 2027, bringing back Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and the rest of the cast – including Mark Duplass, Billy Crudup, Nestor Carbonell, Karen Pittman, Nicole Beharie, and Jon Hamm.
The show is adding some exciting new actors, including Jeff Daniels, Renee Rapp, Jesse Williams, Sean Hayes, and Lizzy Caplan.
Both Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon expected this to be the final season of their show, and it’s understandably taking them a while to process that it’s ending.
Jennifer Aniston, now enjoying her newly renovated home in Montecito, posted photos on Instagram from the set of her show in Los Angeles. One picture showed her co-star Jason Duplass, who plays a close friend to Aniston’s character, hugging both Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, who appeared to be crying.
Another image showed her and Witherspoon sitting on their high chairs and having a belly laugh.
The third picture displayed an empty control room, but the screens still showed Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon seemingly in a final confrontation.
The final season of “The Morning Show” is on its way, as announced by Jennifer Aniston with a post about the show making her laugh and cry. She hinted that there’s plenty more news to come from Apple TV+.
Reese Witherspoon shared a fun Instagram reel with fans, giving them a peek behind the scenes of ‘The Morning Show.’ It featured sweet moments like a hug with Jennifer Aniston, celebrating their show’s award with a plaque, chatting outside with Billy Crudup, relaxing on a coffee break, and spending time with the rest of the cast and crew.
Eight years ago, we began creating a show about the journalists who deliver the news – their drive, their pursuit of the truth, and the influence they wield, as Witherspoon explained while the images flashed by.
Over five seasons, the show’s characters pushed themselves and made viewers think. It demonstrated that good journalism goes beyond simply relaying facts – it’s about connecting with people and understanding their stories.
Honestly, I always say success isn’t about me – it’s about the team! And I’m seriously pinching myself because I get to work with the absolute BEST people ever. They’re incredible, and I wouldn’t be where I am without them! It’s just… amazing.
Oh my gosh, seriously, thank you to everyone who worked on The Morning Show! The cast, the crew, absolutely everyone! They made this show what it is, and it’s EVERYTHING. And now… is anyone else completely losing it because I NEED to know what happens next?! Bring on the final season – I’m already bracing myself for all the drama and intensity! I can’t wait!
She shared a video with the message: ‘Eight years, five seasons, and countless amazing moments! I’m excited for everyone to watch the last season of The Morning Show!’
Earlier today, Jennifer Aniston shared her thoughts on the show ending, saying they were grateful to have been able to create a meaningful and respectful conclusion for the characters and the series, knowing it would be their last.
Apple believed in ‘The Morning Show’ from the start, and we’re grateful for the chance to create stories inspired by real-world events, told with a touch of dark comedy.
The star, also a producer on the show like Reese Witherspoon, shared that it’s been a wonderful experience working with the incredibly talented cast and dedicated writers, producers, and crew. They’ve become very close, like a family, and everyone is thrilled to finally share the last season with viewers.
Witherspoon explained that the show was never just about what happened inside a newsroom; it was about the importance of journalism itself. She emphasized the value of a free press and the dedication of journalists who work to uphold it, often facing significant challenges. Witherspoon called telling this story the highlight of her career.
She finished by expressing her gratitude to Apple, as well as everyone who wrote, filmed, and acted in the project, saying it was a wonderful experience she’d always remember.
The unexpected departure from The Morning Show happened shortly after Jennifer Aniston publicly mourned the loss of director James Burrows, whom she considered a father figure.
I was so saddened to hear about the passing of this incredible television director – someone who brought so much joy into our homes with shows like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Cheers, Frasier, and even more recent hits like The Big Bang Theory. He was 85. When I found out, I felt a real pressure to say something that truly honored him. He always treated the cast of Friends – and everyone he worked with, really – with such kindness and generosity, and I wanted my message to reflect how much we all loved him.
It’s incredibly difficult to even begin to write about Papa Burrows. He had this amazing way of making everyone around him feel truly loved, and trying to capture the impact he had on so many lives in just a few words feels… impossible. It’s like a lifetime of warmth can’t be contained in a paragraph or two.
He affectionately referred to our team as “kids,” constantly checking in with things like, “Where are the kids?” and challenging us with comments such as, “Let’s see if the kids can pull this off.” It felt a little nerve-wracking.
His wonderful children graciously allowed us all to enjoy the unique and special person he was.
He wasn’t just an acquaintance; he was like a father to me. He consistently showed he cared, always checking in and offering support. He shared in my joys and helped me through tough challenges, guiding me along the way. And honestly, he loved to spoil us with treats and gifts!
More than anything, he showed us kids the value of loving and respecting everyone around us. He taught us to look out for one another, be supportive, and always have each other’s backs – and we truly lived by those lessons.
