It’s all the time a protracted two years between seasons of The Morning Present however, mercifully, we’ve come to the tip of our newest hiatus. Season 4 is ready to hit the 2025 TV schedule on September 17, and I’m determined to see Jennifer Aniston’s Alex Levy and Reese Witherspoon’s Bradley Jackson once more (ideally in the identical scenes) when the upcoming Apple TV+ present returns. EP Charlotte Stoudt teased their reunion, and I wasn’t anticipating her comparability to Depraved.
Following the third season, followers of top-of-the-line sequence on Apple TV+ complained that Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon didn’t seem in sufficient scenes collectively. Whereas the showrunner admitted that the fictional TV hosts’ relationship is “fairly bumpy,” Alex and Bradley will all the time be necessary to 1 one other’s story. She advised TV Insider:
The basic middle of the present actually is these two girls’s influence on one another, type of like Depraved, the place they ideally change one another for good.
Wow, I didn’t see that one coming, nevertheless it is smart. There’s lots that’s totally different about Alex and Bradley, similar to with Elphaba and Glinda (Galinda?) in Depraved. However every character brings one thing out of their counterpart and, within the case of The Morning Present, we simply should hope they carry out the most effective in one another.
(As for which TMS character can be Oz the Nice and Highly effective, we’re all pondering Billy Crudup’s Cory Ellison, proper? It looks as if he’s all the time bought one thing happening behind the scenes.)
In The Morning Present Season 4 (streaming with an Apple TV+ subscription), we’ll see the fallout of Bradley’s determination to show herself in to the FBI after destroying proof from January 6, as Alex offers together with her new obligations following the UBA-NBN merger. Stella Bak (Greta Lee) is included in that as the brand new CEO, in addition to part-owner Celine Dumont, performed by new solid member Marion Cotillard.
These are some nice and highly effective girls certainly, however Charlotte Stoudt warns that they’ll face loads of obstacles. She stated:
The ladies lastly bought the keys to the workplace, however as I prefer to say, each time girls take energy, there’s all the time an asterisk. It’s by no means a clear, ‘Right here, you’ll be able to have them.’
That alone appears like sufficient of a real-world hook for Season 4. Nevertheless, after The Morning Present tackled the Me Too motion, COVID, January 6 and abortion rights (amongst different issues) in its first three seasons, we all know a bit of bit about what’s in retailer for this subsequent chapter, and it is greater than gender politics. Based on the EP, the journalists might be preventing deepfakes, A.I. and misinformation.
We’re actually in for a experience, and I’m afraid it’s going to take Alex and Bradley greater than a magic wand and a broomstick to get them out of that twister. Tune in to see the soapy drama proceed when The Morning Present Season 4 premieres Wednesday, September 17, on Apple TV+.
