The series, “a fictional look at the goings-on of early morning television,” stars Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, and Reese Witherspoon. The series also stars Billy Crudup and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.

“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.

Aniston and Witherspoon play “two ambitious, aspirational female characters,” while Carell portrays Mitch Kessler, an anchor “struggling to maintain relevancy in the ever-changing media world.”

The Morning Show was written by Kerry Ehrin based on an original idea by Michael Ellenberg. It was directed by Mimi Leder.
