Apple TV has confirmed that the already renewed fifth season of The Morning Show will be the series’ last.
The newsroom drama, which stars and is executive produced by Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, is expected to hit screens in 2027.
Aniston said in a statement that the fifth season, which was renewed back in September 2025 ahead of its season 4 premiere, will “honour these characters the way they deserve”.
“From the beginning, Apple has supported our vision for The Morning Show, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to tell stories that reflect what’s happening in the world around us with a twist of dark humour,” she said.
“It’s been such a privilege to work with this insanely talented cast, and our extraordinary writers, producers, and crew. We’ve become such a family and we’re all so excited to share this final season. And going in knowing it would be our last, we were so fortunate to craft the conclusion with intentionality, and honour these characters the way they deserve.”
Witherspoon added in a statement: “The past nine years producing and acting in The Morning Show have been the honour of a lifetime. This was always more than a show about a newsroom — it was a show about why the newsroom matters. About freedom of the press, and the journalists who protect the fourth estate, often at great cost. Telling that story has been the creative privilege of my career.
“Thank you to Apple for their unwavering support, to our visionary writers, our incredible crew, and our extraordinarily talented cast, who brought five seasons to life with a truth audiences believed every step of the way. It has been a stellar creative experience — one I will always treasure.”
