It has now been announced that season 3 of the critically acclaimed show will premiere on Wednesday 13th September 2023 with the first two episodes. The next eight episodes will then air weekly on Apple TV+.

If you're wary of going into the third season for fear that this may be The Morning Show's last outing, don't worry – the series has received an early season renewal before season 3 has even landed on our screens. That means season 4 is in the pipeline as we speak.

As for what will unfold in season 3, fans can expect further drama for the UBA network. As per the synopsis: "This season, the future of the network is thrown into question and loyalties are pushed to the brink when a tech titan takes an interest in UBA.

"Unexpected alliances form, private truths are weaponised, and everyone is forced to confront their core values both in and out of the newsroom."

Speaking about the new cast additions for season 3, Duplass previously revealed to Variety: “I’m friendly with them, so that was like a homecoming for us.

“You’d be surprised considering The Morning Show is a set full of massive movie stars everywhere, it could or should be maybe a tense thing, but it’s very laid back. I attribute that to Jen and Reese, who set a good tone. They’re good bosses. Honestly, when you have these group scenes, it’s just a party. It’s really nice.”

The new season will be directed and executive produced by Mimi Leder, while Charlotte Stoudt is serving as showrunner and executive producer after the resignation of former showrunner Kerry Ehrin.

The Morning Show season 3 will premiere on Apple TV+ on Wednesday 13th September 2023, with season 1-2 available to stream on Apple TV+.
