Season 5 of ‘The Morning Show’ Will Be Its Last, Apple Announces
The Morning Show helped Apple TV compete with streaming juggernauts like Netflix and Hulu. The beloved drama was a massive “get” for the streamer as it dipped its toes into original content. While the series has been most beneficial for Apple, all good things must come to an end. The tech company just announced that season 5 of The Morning Show will be its last. Here is everything you need to know.
Apple TV announces the end of ‘The Morning Show’
The Morning Show has a unique place in Apple TV’s history. The series was one of the very first Apple scripted originals. It was kind of a trial run to begin with, but quickly became one of the most watched and relevant series on the platform. The show has tackled newsroom culture, #MeToo fallout, the pandemic, corporate takeovers, and international espionage across its run.
Season 4 ended in November 2025 with a few loose ends left open as a cliffhanger. Fans already knew they’d get answers to those remaining questions once Season 5 arrived, since Apple had announced a planned fifth season back in September 2025. What the streamer didn’t reveal until now is that season 5 would be the final season for The Morning Show. The announcement came on July 23, when Apple TV confirmed the end of its flagship series. Season 5 is already being filmed, but fans likely won’t see it until 2027.
Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon respond to the news
The announcement was met with grief from fans, but Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, two of the show’s leads, issued public statements that were a bit more measured. Witherspoon reflected on the power of the show, its deeper purpose, and how its mission grew more important in light of recent events in the world in a touching Instagram statement.
Jennifer Aniston echoed a similar sentiment. She also discussed the connection she felt to those who were involved in the production over the years. She noted that the cast, writers, producers, and crew had become like family, and that going into the final season knowing it would be the last allowed them to create a fitting ending.
Witherspoon has played journalist Bradley since season one. Aniston has taken on the role of Alex since the pilot episode.
What exactly is in store for that final season remains a mystery. The cast and crew are keeping the planned storylines under wraps. Still, spy shots suggest new faces will join the existing cast for a proper and appropriate send-off.
