The first fiery trailer has dropped for Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon’s new television show, The Morning Show. Now, everyone just has to figure out how to subscribe to Apple TV to guarantee they can watch it.
The Morning Show is set to delve into “the high-stakes world of morning news and the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning,” according to the show’s official description. It’s going to focus on Aniston and Witherspoon’s characters, who both work in news and seemingly face off against each other. It looks like a far more serious version of the short-lived NBC comedy 'Great News.'
Per the intense trailer, the show deals with #MeToo accusations. Aniston announces that her co-anchor, Mitch Kessler, played by Steve Carrell, has been fired following “allegations.”
"I just need to be able to control the narrative so I'm not written out of it," Aniston's character says. It all looks almost as dramatic as 'Big Little Lies,' although there seems to be a little less yelling.
At an Apple event, the 'Friends' star described the show. "Through the prism of those under-slept, over-adrenalized people in front of and behind the camera, we take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace, and we engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they’re behind closed doors," Aniston said.
This isn't the first time America's sweethearts have starred alongside each other. The 'Legally Blonde' actress appeared briefly on 'Friends' as Aniston's sister.
The show boasts an all-star cast. Billy Crudup, Mark Duplass and Gugu Mbatha-Raw also appear in the drama.
