What Happened in 'The Morning Show' Season 3?
The third season of The Morning Show was packed with drama. UBA anchors Alex Levy (Aniston) and Bradley Jackson (Witherspoon) worked together to expose a scheme by tech billionaire Paul Marks (Hamm). While romantically involved with Alex, Paul hid critical issues in his rocket program and plotted to dismantle UBA for profit. At the same time, Bradley dealt with her own issues, including the illegal deletion of footage showing her brother’s clash with a police officer during the Capitol insurrection.
Looking forward, Season 4 is set to tackle themes of DeepFakes and deception. Showrunner Charlotte Stoudt hinted at these topics in an interview with Deadline:
“We blew everything up last year with the biggest bomb we could possibly build. So, we have to ask ourselves how is the band going to get back together, and what will that look like? We get into the world of DeepFakes and AI and the misinformation in the fog of war that we’re seeing now in the Middle East and stuff. We’re looking at who you can trust. And can you trust what you’re seeing? Can you trust yourself? Can you trust your news outlet?”
Stay tuned for more updates as the show navigates the ever-evolving landscape of morning television drama.
