Apple TV announced today that The Morning Show will be coming to an end after its fifth season in 2027. The news comes nearly a year after the acclaimed drama was renewed for what will now be its final run.

"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 humor," said star and executive producer Jennifer Aniston. "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 honor these characters the way they deserve."

"The past nine years producing and acting in 'The Morning Show' have been the honor of a lifetime," said star and executive producer Reese Witherspoon. "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."

"Our first order was an important one, and seeing this incredible Apple TV series through from start to finish has been the joy of a lifetime and career," said Zack Van Amburg, Apple's head of worldwide video. "Jennifer, Reese, Michael and Mimi not only created a series that continually challenged audiences, sparked conversation and stood at the forefront of television over five unforgettable seasons, they also helped launch an entirely new streaming platform with their signature series. 'The Morning Show' team consists of the best cast and crew in television, led by Charlotte Stoudt's exceptional writing and showrunning. As we celebrate this final chapter, while also beginning new ones with these brilliant artists and storytellers, we're endlessly grateful to everyone who made 'The Morning Show' such an enduring part of Apple TV."

The show premiered in 2019 with a two-season order as one of the first original series on Apple TV+. Featuring a cast led by Aniston and Witherspoon, it is set at a popular early morning news broadcast in the midst of a scandal, and behind the scenes there is a struggle to survive during a time when news and information is readily available in the palms of most people's hands. After a long-time broadcast team is broken up, the remaining host is left to fight for her job as a rivalry brews with an aspiring journalist looking to move up the ranks.
