The Morning Show Season 5: Will Apple TV+ Renew It or Pull the Plug?
The Morning Show has wrapped Season 4, and fans are already demanding an encore. Will Apple TV+ order a fifth chapter of boardroom brinkmanship and on-air chaos, or is this the final sign-off? Here’s what we know about its renewal odds.
Season 4 of The Morning Show just wrapped, so of course the big question is: are we getting more on-air meltdowns, backroom deals, and impossible meetings at dawn? Short answer: yes. Longer answer: here is where things stand, what Apple has said, and who is (and isn’t) coming back.
So, is Season 5 actually happening?
It is. Apple renewed The Morning Show for Season 5 back in September 2025. Apple TV+ head of programming Matt Cherniss called the series a standout since day one and then doubled down with this:
"The Morning Show continues to deliver addictively entertaining and provocative stories that we've all come to love. We're excited for viewers to experience the next chapter of this Emmy Award-winning drama."
When could it premiere?
No release date yet. Apple has been remarkably steady about rolling out a new season roughly every two years. If they keep that rhythm, expect Season 5 around September 2027, likely another 10-episode run. Yes, that is a wait. Welcome to prestige TV scheduling.
Who is back, and who isn't?
The show is still anchored by Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, so plan on both returning. Most familiar faces are expected to stick around too. One notable change: Greta Lee is out after Season 4. She told THR that it came down to scheduling, describing a series like this as a major commitment and saying they kept trying to make it work, but it got tougher to dedicate the time and resources the show demands.
Behind the scenes
Jennifer Aniston isn't just in front of the camera; she also executive produces. She told People that the core team is deeply involved in every part of the process beyond performing, and that the support system behind the show is rock solid. Translation: the folks steering this thing are very hands-on, and it shows.

That's the lay of the land. Once Apple locks dates and starts teasing plot, I'll update with the who, what, and which disaster the UBA crew walks into next.
