Apple has now shared a lengthy The Morning Show trailer after the frustratingly short and choppy teaser video last week.
The upcoming drama starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Carell will be streamed on Apple TV+, the company’s original content video service set to launch in the fall…
Variety spotted it.
The trailer makes it look very much in the vein of the award-winning Sorkin drama The Newsroom, with the same ‘show within a show’ format and similar off-screen dramas among the lead characters. That’s a tough standard to meet, but Apple’s show certainly has the caliber of cast needed to carry it off — at least two of whom are reputed to be earning a cool million dollars per episode.
“The Morning Show” will explore the “high-stakes world of morning news and the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning.” The trio of aforementioned talent play characters who work on the fictional show-within-the-show, with Aniston and Witherspoon’s characters being the lenses through which the story is told. They are described as “two complicated women working to navigate the mine field of high-powered jobs while facing crises in both their personal and professional lives. Thematically, the show is designed to explore “ego, ambition and the misguided search for power.”
Here’s what Apple has to say about the show:
The Cupertino company has so far commissioned two seasons, each of ten episodes.
The Morning Show stars Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon, Emmy winner Jennifer Aniston and Golden Globe winner Steve Carell in a high-stakes drama that pulls back the curtain on the morning news.
